Eric Baxter - this notes for you (NNC)

Your e-mail address keeps bouncing so in reply to your question about Deep
Purple's Live In London album here is what I have been trying to send to you. Live in London is due to be re-issued later this year as a double CD with Space Truckin' included. The problem holding back the release is that they are still trying to find a decent copy of Space Truckin. The BBC lost the tape of the full show so only what was on the original vinyl survives. If they dont find a decent copy then I don't know when it will come out but thats the latest info I can find. The original vinyl album has been released on CD but only in Japan, it has turned up on various bootleg CD's as well. Cheers, Jimmy DP website - Last updated 20 March 2002 |
Re: Neil Young CD Covers status 03-21-02

Hi everyone,title Farm Aid 2000/2001 VCD or the dates 09-17-00 and 09-29-01. First, lets thank Paul for his great work, he does in listing and linking the coverart of Neil in such a marvellous way. Paul, you are the best!!! Now my question: I have a few of the albums (mostly collections, partly with poor coverart), which coverart is still missing, (For example: Pheonix Arcade, Live Side of the Moon...), but I (still) got no homepage where I can post them and link them to "go.to/neilcovers". But I can scan them (with 200dpi? with 300dpi?) and burn them on CD and would send them to someone, who can give them a place. Or shall I just mail the jpg.files to Paul? Who can help Johannes "They better say it fast" ny |

I can't resist sharing a good Dick Nixon article.I can't resist reading them either. Great stuff. Anybody know any sites that attempt to explain exactly what happened at Watergate? I was just a 10 year old kid when that story broke. I remember it being all over the telly here in the UK at the time but apart from the ATPM movie I've never been able to get a good explanation as to what actually happened.

Bob sings about Samantha, not Neil, on new CD(NNC)
Thought this was interesting re: the lyrics to a song on Bob's new cd:
Kurt Speakin' Out Lonesome Day Blues / "Love And Theft" / 2001 Samantha Brown lived in my house for about four or five months Samantha Brown lived in my house for about four or five months Don't know how it looked to other people I never slept with her even once -Bob Dylan Then this guy wrote: From frinjdwelr, 17 Mar 2002: While flipping through the TV channels, there she stood, with her name right across the bottom of the screen. "Samantha Brown?" says I "Yes," says my daughter, "she tours and stays in peoples' houses." "She does what?" "What's so funny, don't you ever watch the Travel Channel?" "No, but I know someone who does." |

AOTW: Life, and the live tracks
I seem to remember hearing that several of the tracks on Life were
recorded live and then cleaned up in the studio. To my ears, I believe they were Too Lonely Prisoners When Your Lonely Heart Breaks Anyone know for sure, and possibly which shows they came from (a long shot I know)? --PunkDavid |
Toronto record stores -- thanks + Ryan Adams news(NNC)
Thanks for those who emailed me advice on TO stores. I wasn't able to do
much shopping, but did manage to pick up Ryan Adams' Heartbreaker (finally... much better than Gold, imo), Donnas' Skintight (love it), Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation (wanted to check them out based on several recommendations, not sure yet). More NNC today: Ryan will be releasing 4 albums tentatively scheduled for a late summer release! The tentative titles for the 4 projects for right now are "The Suicide Handbook", "48 Hours", "The Pinkhearts Album", and "The Swedish Sessions Supposedly Suicide Hdbk is 22 acoustic tunes and Swedish one is all unreleased recordings from last year. I've heard demos from the Pinkhearts. It's also better than Gold.

AOTW: LOW LIFE
I've been awfully busy these past two weeks, and haven't been able to
post my thoughts on these two albums. So I'll give the shortish version of my combined feelings, since these two albums really seem to blend into one another for me anyway. When I listened to LOW last week, for the first time in over a year, I really kinda dug it. I dislike the production style, but I think it strangely works with the songs. LIFE however, I really don't like. Count me as one who places LIFE at the absolute bottom of Neil's canon. I was so disappointed when I first heard this album, mostly because it was with Crazy Horse, and I had loved everything of theirs I had heard previously. I did not hear this album until I had acquired almost of all of Neil's other albums, however, so I think I can understand how some fans may have found this to be a welcome breath in 1987. What that welcome breath was, I can only imagine. I guess I would have seen it as positive as well that the "Niko production" seemed to stop on side two. Maybe Pancho and Ralph finally jumped him in a hallway, tied him in a blanket, and locked him in a janitorial closet until he learned that style is INFERIOR to substance. Mideast Vacation is a song that struck me as overly simple when I first heard it, but I have grown to like it since. I think it's smart, and musically more interesting than I heard on first listen. Long Walk Home is where I nearly flushed this album. Firstly, I have to say that the cadence of the chorus "It's such a Long Walk Home..." struck me all wrong when I first heard it, and even to this day, I just can't believe that the words "Long" "Walk" and "Home" are not evenly spaced. It just rubs me the wrong way. But what kills this song for me is the overblown production and sound effects. Here is a song with good lyrics, a pretty decent tune, and an edgy political theme. For a moment, imagine Neil and an acoustic guitar, and this song. Powerful. Enter Niko Bolas. "What this song needs is a deep echoing sound pervading throughout, so that it sounds as though there is a choir singing inside the hold of an oil tanker. That will really drive the point of this song home. Ooh! And sound effects! I know, right after Neil sings "giant guns raised," we'll put in GIANT GUN SOUNDS!! Niko, you genius!" These sound effects are retarded, I'm sorry. And I actually like the sound effects on such songs as Shots, and even Inca Queen. Maybe it's the gun sounds right after the word "guns" that drives me nuts. "Oh, is that what a gun sounds like? Cool, thanks." Duh. Around The World, however, is my least favorite song on this album. Start with a beat that a gorilla could keep, add two chords, and mix. Add a third chord, because the chorus has three words. Bored yet? Let's spice things up with a really pussy sounding synth out of absolutely nowhere, puncuated by the line, "Fashion Change, Style Change." WOW, just the "guns" with the guns in the last song. Niko, you genius you. Then back to Neil Young and Crazy Monkey for another verse before Neil does his laughable, "you look beautiful" speech a la Van Halen's "Unchained". To me, this song is one of those, "What is he going to do next" songs, the bad kind. Luckily, the album reaches it's low point here. I like Inca Queen. Musically, it is obviously the child of Like An Inca. Thematically, it's what would happen if ATGR and Cortez The Killer mated. Has everyone else noted the spacecraft references in this song, "She spoke of Silver from the sky, to pick them up when they would fly," that also appear in ATGR, "Flying Mother Nature's Silver seed to a new home." I am a little bugged by the elephant reference, though. There hasn't been a wild elephant in the Western hemisphere since the last wooly one kicked it 15,000 years ago, even then, not in Peru. Whatever, and war was never known to the Aztecs either, huh Neil? The rest of the album, although not Neil's strongest songwriting, is loose and fun rock 'n roll. It is what it is, without pretense, and Niko is now locked in the janitor's closet, so the boys can let it rip. Phew, now I feel much better. --PunkDavid |

Silly Boot-Booklets
Just asking: There are Boots from Neil Shows out there like "Electric
Prayers" or "Live in Cleveland", which claim to be "recorded live in Cleveland, Public Auditorium, February 24th, 1970" or from Feb. 10, 1970 like the 2CD "Winterlong". But that can't be true!! Sugar Mountain only mentions a show at Feb, 25. Music Hall. Cincinneti, Ohio.(And I recognize my one and favorite version of DBTR (19:11 min) by the same cut in the last verse) Am I correct? And what did the people at "The swinging pig" thought: "Oh let's just write anything on the booklet, perhaps it may exist, Neil does so many shows anyway, so there could be a bingo!" Or were they just to dumb to rember the correct dates and locations... This makes trades sometimes really confusing!!! By the way: That might be worth a discussion: The most horrible mistakes in the history of Neil Boots Booklets... (Hot candidate in my opinion: LP "Neil Young live at the Roman Colloseum" with a lot of crap on the backcover...) What do you think? Johannes "They better say it fast" ny |
