si, but b.e.r.! 'opera star,' she is on _re*ac*tor_

don't feel bad, as i also mix up these records momentarily in my brain, as they are both underrated weirdo neil young records!

_trans_, she is ok! i need a unit to sample and hold! si!

there is a really good, totally fucked up video called 'live in berlin' or something. neil and nils lofgren high on coke with vocoders. pretty good.

My wife told me last night about how when she was a wee bairn, her dad taped some movie about robots off of HBO and dubbed "We R In Control" over the sound during a robot fight scene.

Really bizarre, but not crap. It was interesting to hear him try something completely different.

Up there with Arc in the strange and underrated Neil Young album category.

Disgraziado! I too mixed up these two records by the Neils Youngs!

Not crap.

One of my favourite Neil Young records.

Tonight's The Night is still king in my eyes though.

I over-reacted. Sorry. I have a problem with not knowing what the singer is saying, so I thought maybe I missed something really obvious because of this strange genetic flaw of mine.

SeverancePackage, I am too glad that you have mentioned the wondrous beauty that is Arc. Goddamn, I love that album.

not crap. if you are in search of crap, the follow-up neil young and the shocking pinks definitely sports the dookie shoe.

Maybe it's the Sparks talking, but did you just say "sports the dookie shoe"? Because if you did, well, then I doff my hat to you, sir.

I believe the band Trans Am was high influenced by this record. Even if this is untrue, I think it cannot be crap.

Vive Sparks!

If you listen really closely, you can hear Geffen executives bashing their heads against the wall

I like it, it's drastically different from anything he's ever done, and I can't imagine anyone of his draw doing something this crazy.
