currently have no money to spend on records and don't feel *too* bad about not giving money directly to Neil tbh.

i'm sure it'll be around...the LP was $15.99 on Amazon and i was waiting for my next round of points to hit, and then i look at it's $4 more and it's unavailable. i appreciate that this one isn't $80!

xp seems like listening on spotify free and giving neil your ad money would be the better moral compromise

And esp considering how much coke he was on a the time and in general his tendency to edge toward paranoia I can easily see Neil turning this comment over in his head like this for decades.

reading tylerw's Hitchhiker piece reminded me how good that 92 version is. It's super dark and haunting and always makes me imagine Neil as an old hermit warning people from a mountaintop. There was a version of Revolution Blues from the solo Trans tour on youtube a while ago that had that same vibe. I've often thought about making a compilation of stuff that carries that feeling (Pushed It Over from the Bitter End show would be another).
Also, found some innaresting youtube clips I hadn't seen before:
I read about this in Shakey but never saw it until today - it's a French interview circa 82 where he discusses his love of the Human League and Flock Of Seagulls among others, while sitting at home with a Hagstrom II in his lap:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frSgDeNjfgo
Here's a psa video he did for the National Academy of Child Development, with a one-off version of I Am A Child:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMrIRPp47dA
and a promo spot from MTV where they give away the Shocking Pinks' Cadillac:

thanks for the 1992 hitchhiker tip. i hadn't heard it before and it's really really good!

aw shit, sorry, realized that was in reference to tyler's piece on the song (http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2017/09/11/neil-young-a-hitchhiker-on-the-road/), which i somehow missed above! looking forward to going through that tonight :)

I streamed a bit of P-Of Da Real (also, that is 100% a better band name) at some fest recently (was waiting for Prime Time to start) but so beyond their amazingly bland chopsy bar rock every single member of the band dresses like they are on the Rigs of Dad instagram account.

"i'm canadian by the way ..." lol. Piano sounds good here.
PotR sounds fine on the live stuff I've heard. Bongo guy is pretty questionable (unfounded conspiracy theory is that he's willie and neil's weed dealer). Never really got into Monsanto Years, but I don't know if that's the band's fault exactly.

In reference to middle aged blues-rock acts I believe this statement "Bongo guy is pretty questionable" is universal

I guess I should give them more time but I really haven’t liked anything he’s done with PotR. :( Hopefully someday something will click. In other PotT news, it appears that they landed a spot on the My Little Pony movie soundtrack from this year

i've been digging into early to mid 80s stuff over on doom & gloom recently — we all know it, but it is still kind of astonishing how many directions he was going in at once between 1982 and 1987. Trans, The Trans Band tour, the Solo Trans tour, the Shocking Pinks, the Catalyst Crazy Horse stuff, the International Harvesters, Landing on Water, Rusted Out Garage tour, Life, the Bluenotes .... it really is a crazy five-year stretch.
― tylerw, Friday, 3 November 2017 15:26 (six years ago) link
Maybe the only comparable stretch would be Le Noise (2010) to the present?
