Is there any way we can write Bardo Pond in as his next backup band?

man lot of covers lol
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 24 September 2015 18:25 (eight years ago) link
hah yeah don't know what's up with that
― sleeve, Thursday, 24 September 2015 18:27 (eight years ago) link
listening to The Monsanto Year right now, gonna liveblog some choice couplets
"too big to failtoo rich for jail"
really this record has a good sound, but a lot of the lyrics are painful earnest-Neil style
still it's kinda winning me over, and "Wolf Moon" is really pretty, he's been doing it along with "Harvest Moon" in the live sets and it fits.
― sleeve, Tuesday, 6 October 2015 01:48 (eight years ago) link
"corporations have feelingscorporations have soulsthat's why they're like peoplebut harder to control"
no good couplets from "Workin' Man" but it rocks super hard, got that herky-jerky rhythm hiccup and a lotta dense guitar, also upbeat tempo
― sleeve, Tuesday, 6 October 2015 02:02 (eight years ago) link
"out of balance, money growscorporations take control"
(btw everything else abt this track, "Rules Of Change", is excellent - light harmonics mixed with serious fuzz, a fragile delivery, good melody
― sleeve, Tuesday, 6 October 2015 02:05 (eight years ago) link
OK lyrical clunkers aside, this record is great, dude is on a roll in the 2010's

what else has neil young done similar to the dead man soundtrack? i love it too much
― willajd, Tuesday, 6 October 2015 15:56 (eight years ago) link
Closest thing is probably Arc, which isn't even really that close -- lots of long instrumental passages, but few repeated melodies. That one descending figure on Dead Man is one of the most beautiful things he's ever come up with. That record is one of my favorites, up there with Tonight's the Night.
(I do love Arc, it's just a different animal with similar skin, from a distance)
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Tuesday, 6 October 2015 15:59 (eight years ago) link
haha yeah I was totally gonna say Arc
Tyler you really should give this new one a listen!
― sleeve, Tuesday, 6 October 2015 16:00 (eight years ago) link
yeah Dead Man sdtk is p unique in his catalog. Arc is similarly abstract but yeah it's working w a pretty different sonic palette.
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 6 October 2015 16:05 (eight years ago) link
Monsanto is really good. There are some clunkers but on the whole it's excellent.
― kornrulez6969, Tuesday, 6 October 2015 22:01 (eight years ago) link
show was unbelievable. hit after hit, band was on fire, one of the young Nelsons did a showstopping version of "September Song" on piano, and they encored with "Vampire Blues" ((last time played 1974/03/26)
I feel like The Promise Of The Real is perfect for him, they were all having so much fun and totally locked in to each other, lotsa guitar-heavy jamming

I want to but unfortunately it's kind of complicated, unlikely I can get there at 8pm for one thing
― Οὖτις, Friday, 9 October 2015 15:41 (eight years ago) link
they were pretty prompt starting, then I think they played for over three hours...
― sleeve, Friday, 9 October 2015 15:43 (eight years ago) link
hmm the only tickets left are general admission/pit (which are >$100 but whatever it's my birthday) - I've never been in the pit at the Greek, is it decent? I guess we'd be super up-close.
― Οὖτις, Friday, 9 October 2015 17:27 (eight years ago) link
jesus christ total is like $300, now I remember why I never go to huge shows anymore
