Uhh I was just looking at Neil's set list from Friday night in Memphis and notice that they opened with "Down by the River" and also that Setlist.fm kinda of buried the lede in the foot note:

Note: "Down by the River" was played for 40 min

haha, the opener! that is great ... here's the first 30 minutes

also, goddamn this "revolution blues" is good

haha, that's awesome

this down by the river is incredible -- just the opening noise jam! i seriously think he should be releasing records like this.

If Earth is just insane jamming with weird insect noises overdubs we could have a classic on our hands

there's a fanmade preview here: http://bigozine2.com/roio/?p=2876
no bee breakdowns

that "Down by the River" is startlingly good

better video: https://youtu.be/RI2ey2g8pcM

:) :) :)

Explosive album closer "Love and Only Love" sprawls out for more than 25 minutes, becoming more of an abstract soundscape than a song by the end, with undulating feedback and cymbal crashes complementing the swelling wildlife sounds.

Young, a Canadian citizen, said he still supports Sanders: “He’s the only one talking about the issues, about issues that matter to me, the issues on my mind – problems of corporate control of democracy and everything slipping away and not being able to have six major companies owning all the media in the United States.” However, he doesn’t plan on becoming a US citizen in order to vote in the upcoming election.

heh

classic neil

always been a little confused by neil's insistence on retaining canadian citizenship... other than just feeling like he is a canadian, even though he hasn't lived there for half a century. oh well, when trump is elected, he'll be sent over the wall with the rest of them.

Sad!

Pre-orders (you can guess sources etc)

"A concert fantasy"? Isn't it a pretty much standard concert film, with Road Eyes etc. for garnish?

Sign o the times, now that's a concert fantasy or at least a concert fiction

neil gets into a sleeping bag in the middle of rust never sleeps, that is the definition of fantastic

trouble in paradise!!!!!

Just noticed the other day that the picture on the inlay card in the reissue of Duty Now For The Future is a still from Human Highway.

Also--this has been pointed out before--but the Rust... movie isn't that rare. EagleVision has had it out as a (sadly non-anamorphic) DVD for years.

Wait at what point of the Pono backlash are we? I thought we were still at I-loved-it-then-I-hated-it-then-I-ironically-loved-it-then-I-forgot-about-it?

what is the stage where some dude makes a 'no smoking' symbol out of tape and puts in on a PONO shirt?

denial
anger
bargaining
pono sucks t-shirt
depression
acceptance

This is some post-structuralist shit I don't know if I have the brain power to handle

All the Red Hot Chili Peppers stuff is available on HiRes Pono now.

I couldn't think of a joke for that.

feel like there's a good faux kiedis lyric about pono, but i don't want to embarrass myself.

Pono
Listen what I say, oh
I got your Pono
Now listen what I say, oh

The more I see, the less I know
The more I like to let it go
Pono, whoa, whoa, whoa

Sometimes I feel like I don't have a Pono
Then I remember that i do have a Pono
I wonder could i listen to hi-res Yoko Ono
under the bridge on my Pono

(that's the best i can do)

Passion dripping from the PONO's eyes
He can taste the sound
An' sound never lies pale face die

true men don't listen to CDS

too real

anyway what does this t-shirt anti pono guy have against pono!

And in April of this year, I traveled to Seattle to give a Pop Conference presentation about the enduring influence of Young's unfairly disparaged 1982 electronic album Trans.

#respect #trans4lyfe

the enduring influence! clearly i hang out w/ neil nerds too much, because i'm Trans is starting to feel overrated to me.

did u guys see that he played LIKE AN INCA a couple weeks back though! #trans4lyfe

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TyQbELZFpg

xxpost

Yeah, Trans is like the Heaven's Gate of music--saying you like it at this point is no more radical or contrarian than saying that you hate it.

yeah, exactly ...
xp POTR's bongo guy gets to shine here #ponobongos #joelala

tyler - is there more synth stuff that wasn't on Trans? my only problem on Trans is that he clearly chickened out, I'd love to hear the existing synth/vocorder stuff alongside any synth stuff to hear the trv kvlt Trans experience?

like let it be...naked kind of? a re-do of sorts

i think these are the only real synth/vocoder numbers that came out (and then there are some remixes/extended things)

"Computer Age"
"We R in Control"
"Transformer Man" – 3:23
"Computer Cowboy"
"Sample and Hold"
"Mr. Soul"

I haven't heard anything else, though if I remember correctly "Razor Love" and "Hard Luck Stories" exist in Trans-y form.

this is supposedly the unreleased album that neil kinda merged with the Trans stuff
