So earlier in the week, we blogged on the MP3 Release of Fillmore "Cinnamon Girl" with news of the tracks availability amongst some controversy.In particular in the post, we took exception with a Glorious Noise review by Jake Brown:Glad it's out there and available, but it's a bit of a bummer that those of us who opted to purchase the CD or DVD version of the Archives will only get to hear this

From Pitchfork: TV, a mashed up semi-cover by the "super group" Jim Jarmusch, Bob Mould, Bradford Cox & No Age of Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer".And this vid is rather tough to figure out what's going on. But if you stick with it, this is basically some hotel room rehearsals for ATP (All Tomorrow's Parties). Fast forward to about 4:30 to cut to the chase. Thanks Kyle Ellison!More on why

From the Rock and Roll Guru, some Rock & Roll Wisdom via Neil Young: “Don’t let it bring you down, it’s only castles burning…”~Neil YoungThis is great advice, unless you happen to live in the castle that is burning.

A little bit of controversy over Neil Young's latest release news. One might think after having only 17* releases thus far in 2009, that critics might cut Neil some slack.But, of course not.So almost 40 years after it's performance at the Fillmore in San Francisco, an awesome live version of "Cinnamon Girl" will finally be released -- on MP3.When the Neil Young & Crazy Horse Live At The

When we plugged the Neil Young tribute band Live RUST earlier this week, we were somewhat taken aback by those who fail to appreciate what these tribute bands are all about.Of course everyone is always entitled to their opinion but it struck has being in poor form to attack those who cover Neil songs for kicks and fun.Like some other topics recently like NYA, FITR, or subject du jour, there are

It's for a good

The Neil Young Comment of the Moment is from the "Optimal" Neil Young Fans thread awhile ago. Pinto (or Flounder) said... My primary interest is in great music.I am a "fan" of Neil Young because he has written and recorded more great music than any other artist of my fifty-six year old lifetime. And that includes Dylan, because, though this might be heresy, I don't really think a lot of

Back in September, we came across a heated debate on a New York Times football discussion board involving the merits of Neil Young's music. Upon which a whole another debate here naturally ensued. Imagine that?!Well, wouldn't you know it, but one of the participants stumbled back over here to Thrasher's Wheat to try and clarify the whole debate. So here's Walt Bennett on what we're certain
