Has anyone seen the video of Neil Young performing with Devo?

Something else!

My faves are Tonight's The Night, Zuma. And I really like Are You Passionate(minus the Crazy Horse ones)
Look, the guy's a genius ok? Who else could have a career where you could release a good album, then 3 crappy ones , then a great one etc........??

Nothing to add here except another NC vote. I mean, it's Neil.

'Piece Of Crap' by Neil Young

Tried to save the trees
Bought a platsic bag
The bottom fell out
It was a piece of crap

Saw it on the tube
Bought it on the phone
Now you're home alone
It's a piece of crap

I tried to plug in it
I tried to turn it on
When I got it home
It was a piece of crap

Got it from a friend
On him you can depend
I found out in the end
It was a piece of crap

I'm trying to save the trees
I saw it on TV
They cut the forest down
To build a piece of crap

I went back to the store
They gave me four more
The guy told me at the door
It's a piece of crap

I must listen to this song. NOW.

i like these lyrics. i know its not exactly the most subtle anti-consumer message in the world but it gets the message across. plus the 'backing vocals' are great.

I recently bought an old copy of Zuma on vinyl that sounds more pleasing than any Neil Young CD I own (and I'm not some brainwashed vinyl nut either). What a great recording, and what a pleasure to sit back and listen to after a few beers.

If you spend $25 they ship for free.

Support your local, etc., but I haven't found many locals selling that for $5, unplayed and brand new.

Thanks for the heads up. $5 sounds almost too good to be true for that record! I generally loathe the idea of buying vinyl that I already own on CD, but might have to add one more to the gazillion exceptions I've made so far.

Listening to a great live recording of "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" right now.

OK, this might betray me as the brainwashed vinyl nut I claim not to be, but for any Neil Young fan with a decent turntable setup and the desire to spend $50 for songs they almost certainly already own, this is what you should spend it on:

All but two of the tracks are mastered from original tapes, and apparently Neil put the record company through hell getting everything up to the quality he wanted for this.

The way "Like a Hurricane" sounds on this record sends jolts down my spine everytime I hear it - that never happened before with the CD.

I fully understand that at $50, this is best described as FUCKING RIDICULOUS. Still, it's awfully, awfully nice.
