    Standard Barn LP is £15.24 on Amazon UK at the moment.

    If I go onto Amazon US there seems barely any vinyl available to me direct from Amazon. Is this common, wasn't sure if its deliberately recognising my location and not showing me stuff or if they are just low on stock.
    must be because of location, everything released in the past 3-4 years except Rust bucket seems to be readily available.


    Rust bucket must be selling out because the great reviews, and because its 4LPs and in a box and will take a bit to get repressed.

    I think best bet is to find it in a bricks and mortar shop. I'm sure a few shops that don't really do online will have copies on their shelves.

    We don't have those kind of shops in Sweden. They're completely wiped out. We have stores selling used records. And one pshycial record store in Gothenburg, and like two in Stockholm selling new records.

    In an interview with Rolling Stone, Townshend was complimented on the impactful use of The Who’s music on the soundtrack of the American TV series Freaks and Geeks. When asked if he had seen the show,

    Townshend replied: “Yes, I did. It was a real buzz. I remember being very moved by it and very honoured. It was a dark comedy show with deep, swinging connotations about performance and education and all the things I’m talking about. The uses were very, very smart.”

    Townshend then illustrates his point by bringing in Young as an example, rebuking his prudence over the years. “In a sense, it redeemed and gave credence to the fact that I’ve always felt the worst person … Let’s get into real trouble here. The worst person to have control of Neil Young’s catalogue is Neil Young.

     

    Give it to me. I just think there’s so much stuff there that could be just turned into joy. He’s such an incredible writer, and so much of his stuff is just unknown, partly because he keeps it tied so tight to his chest.”

    I just read that article and my first thought was, I genuinely can’t remember the last time Pete Townsend wrote anything remotely interesting. Oh well.

    I'm not playing that game. The same can be said about Neil, or Pearl Jam or Taylor Swift.. or whoever. Depending on what one find interesting. I have never liked The Who, Roger Daltrey is void of charisma, but wasn't that last album they did... eh....Endless Wire (?) received pretty well?

    But I mean, it's all moot. Harvest Moon was in A Quiet Place, and Neil has had songs in a million other things. I'm happy Neil is not selling his songs to e.g. Verizon or whatever company Pearl Jam sold River Cross to. But it's not like his songs doesn't show up in films and TV.

    To be fair, PJ let them use the song because Verzion donated to the Vitalogy Foundation.

    If you were to read Daltrey's memoir, Thank You, Mr. Kibblewhite, I think you would find Roger to be highly charismatic.  I certainly did.

    Is that a fact? That Pearl Jam did not make money off that use and it all went to charity?

    Never saw anything about it back then (?). Maybe I missed that?

    Farm Aid sent out a save the date for September and listed Neil as appearing. Would be his first show in a while, I believe. He skipped Farm Aid last year. 
    Neil has said today that he won’t be at Farm Aid this year. 

    “Not ready to tour. COVID is a real danger. Long Covid? No thanks. Expose my son to big crowds? No”

    ”I will not be at FarmAid this year. I am not ready for that yet. I don’t think it is safe in the pandemic. I miss it very much.”

    That is great news.  Neil is no youngster!  (I can say that, haha!)

    I can understand his point of view. Both Zeke and Ben have cerebral palsy so you can imagine Neil would be super protective of them, and Neil is in his 70s and has had his own fair share of health issues. I would love to see him play live again, but health is more important.

    The Bridge School has recently made a cryptic social media post about Covid. It's unclear if they've had a recent outbreak. I wonder if that has had any impact on Neil's thinking, especially in regard to the rumors that the Benefit is coming back this year.

    BA5 is ripping through the US right now. But the FDA has given the OK to not need trial data for approval of a BA 5 vaccine. We're probably closer to the end (where we get vaccines based on the the outbreak, like flu, dropping regularly), but I understand peoples reluctance to just live normally still.

    Yeah, considering his advanced age and the the fact that his generational cohort suffered the greatest loss—and I think Neil Young lost a few of his friends and collaborators as well, but I could be wrong—that alone, might be enough to give me pause. Add on the increased risk to his children with cerebral palsy, and it seems like a pretty rational decision to me.
