    Greendale is closer to 3 stars than Praire Wind. Be the rain was the bomb in 2003. And man, I would love it to be the 5 star classic follow up to Harvest Moon. But I'd rather take Silver & Gold as the closer of that "trilogy". 

    Btw, how is the Greendale comic? Which was a weird thing to release X years after the album...

    I love Greendale, and would give it a 4, I still spin it in 2018... Prarie Wind is a 5 star classic

    I'd probably give Prairie Wind 3 stars, but the "Heart of Gold" concert dvd of the Prairie Wind songs is amazing. I'd definitely give that 5 stars.
    Maybe it's partly why I don't listen to the album so much, I prefer to listen to the live versions.

    Need to re-watch that. Will have to dig out my dvd.

    I spent the last three evenings watching "Weld" (one third each night).  It was great to break it up and completely immerse myself in the power, energy and commitment of that incredible footage.  It struck me that Neil and Crazy Horse at this period in time created a storm of glorious sound that is one of the incredible pinnacles of rock and roll!

    Living with War (2006). Neil's pulling no punches on this album directed towards George W. Bush. Neil's lack of finesse in the lyrics adds to the experience. A quick and impulsive album with strong songs. I think this was Neil's first time releasing several versions/mixes of an album. Not a fan of that. This was also the first time I had heard the name Obama.

    Chrome Dreams II (2007). Sequel to a ’70s album never (officially) released. A very Neil-thing to do. There are a few good songs on this album, but as a whole it’s bland.

    There’s a new online newspaper up on the Archives site, the NYA Times-Contrarian! 
    There are some cool articles on there already, talking about using the newspaper to keep us updated on new releases, the Archives subscriptions, and a ‘Movie Night’ streaming films or long form videos from the Archives. 

    There’s also some background on the upcoming “Roxy - Tonight’s The Night Live” release:

    There’s also this fantastic little line, included towards the bottom of one of the articles...
