Neil Young Latest News

EMA   I’m beginning to wonder if fists in the air college rock is making a comeback. We’ve recently had Butch Walker and the Black Widows’ “Summer of 89” and tonight in Cargo we get Waters.   Of course much of the best blue collar apparently American rock was actually Canadian in origin. And it is the influence of Neil Young and Bryan Adams that is very...
Last week was fairly exciting what with Micachu and the Shapes giving it their all at Proud in Camden for a Haiti benefit gig, The Invisible performing excellent new material to those at the Borderline and an Audra Mae showcase at Gibson Guitars Studios, not to mention the extra curricular activities (okay drinking) involved at those shows. Now settling down for the next installment of SxSW...
Barcelona is so lovely and the line up for Primavera Sound looked pretty amazing so I thought I’d go along and miss quite a lot of it, due to having free beer on tap all weekend thanks to my friend sorting me out with a magic ticket. Here’s some stuff I remember. The first thing I saw was Lightning Bolt, which was surprising because usually most people can’t actually see them...
Hell, I’m only just back from holiday. My hamster wheel isn’t spinning back at it’s proper speed yet. So my decision making may be impaired. Look, for example at today’s new band, Wolfy and The Bat Cubs. They’ve only had a thousand views on Myspace. Their songs have all been played less than ten times. What kind of choice is that? Wolfy and The Bat Cubs //...
From the start it was difficult to understand how Television came to be identified with the punk movement. OK, so Marquee Moon appeared in 1977, but so did Dire Straits’s debut, and nobody ever put them in the punk bracket (though Elvis Costello’s also did, and he was lumped in with the punks initially. Ho, hum.). Richard Hell was their first bassist, but he was asked to leave pretty...

Neil Young MP3s

(Photo: Todd Roeth) Blitzen Trapper don’t write a lot of piano ballads. There was "Not Your Lover" on 2008’s Furr, which sounded like Neil Young, but aside from that they tend to wile out in their own oddball corner of the Americanaverse. "Heaven And Earth," though, is a piano ballad. A grand one. There are strings, the piano sound is heavy and warm, and...
When Dallas Green of Canadian post-hardcore act Alexisonfire needed a name for his acoustic side-project, he transposed his first and last name into "city" and "colour," a trick that is maddeningly effective in its simplicity. A Juno award for Alternative Album of the Year and about 2 billion myspace plays later, Vagrant is re-releasing his debut album "Sometimes"...
A new road song by Neil Young is currently streaming from his website. It’s called Fiork In The Road and it may be included on the rumored LincVolt album. » neilyoung.com (Thru Neil Young News)
Download Here 1. Shiema - On The Double (Promo) Taken from the new EP "Make Them Swing Till It Hurts". 2. Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring - Winterlong (God Is In The TV) Aaah lovely. Some of you might remember The Pixies doing a rather good version of this Neil Young track some years ago. Well this version is better, totally beautiful if it comes to an arguement and comes to you...
