farmaidThis year’s installment of Farm Aid, the annual concert benefiting family farmers that was initially organized by Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, and Neil Young in 1985, will take place at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater outside of St. Louis on Oct. 4. Nelson, Mellencamp, and Young are all on the initial bill alongside the Dave Matthews Band; the four aforementioned men are all on the event’s board of directors. More »

Neil Young Inadvertently Kickstarts “Licensing Your Name To Arachnids” Trend

Trapdoor_Spider.jpgNeil Young’s licensing agreements may extend to items like rolling papers and belt buckles, but the latest item to bear his name isn’t for sale through his official Web site yet: It’s a new species of trapdoor spider, the Myrmekiaphila neilyoungi. East Carolina University biologist Jason Bond, who discovered and named the new species, is clearly a guitar aficionado, although it wasn’t just Young’s axework that inspired the nomenclature.

Neil Young’s <em>Archives</em> Team Finally Gets To The Weird Stuff

AP04030204445.jpgLive albums from the halcyon days of Danny Whitten are great and all, but its a look at those aborted studio sessions that Neil heads like myself have been waiting for. So while, as with most of Neil’s Archives projects, there’s no release date and no real promise that we’ll see one, it’s great that his people are even bothering to mention the possibility of hearing Toast, an album of outtakes from a “depressing” 2000 session with Crazy Horse in a run down San Francisco studio of the same name.

“Canadian folk rock legend Neil Young said he has lost all hope that music can change the world.” Perhaps this means “Canadian incredibly-loud-guitar rock legend Neil Young” will get back to his “Down By The River” steez, even though he is quite aged. More »


Fact: MTV Once Played So Many Music Videos They Could Afford To Ban Some

MTV has a history of banning would-be popular videos, but it was 19 years ago this week that one of the network’s most peculiar censorship decisions took place. Neil Young’s “This Note’s for You” was denied play on the network due to a fear of offending valuable advertisers. More »

Neil Young Re-Thinks His Canadian Citizenship

neilglare.jpgUniversal has just announced a new Neil Young tribute CD, to be titled Borrowed Tunes II. And just who is paying tribute, you ask?

Collaborating artists include Barenaked Ladies, Emily Haines, Finger Eleven, Chantal Kreviazuk, Dallas Green, Hawksley Workman, Raine Maida of Our Lady Peace, Ron Sexsmith, Goldendogs, Quebec-based Dobacaracol, Jorane and many others.

We’ll take Haines and Sexsmith, but the rest of the line-up is less appealing than an a cappella version of Landing On Water. So is this is the worst tribute album of all time? Not even close.

We can only guess what material will be included when Neil Young finally releases his long-promised Archives box set this year–we still think it may be a big joke, and Neil’s just going to put out eight discs of Landing On Water outtakes–but we’re hoping this 1974 live set will make the final cut.
