    Muddy Track is streaming now in NYA Movie Night. It’s interesting to watch, but you can tell why it was never released!

    Ouch!  He's got the main riff at the beginning wrong.  Back to the drums, Dave!

    A long post on Neil’s Facebook page today, including confirmation of the pricing for the Archives subscription after June 1st:

    “I want to share with you that I have made a place for my music to live.

    It will also be the place where I live on the web. I won’t be here.

    I wanted a place where I could hear my music from the very beginning, from the high school bands I was in, to my latest recordings-audio and visual. I wanted to be able to hear it all, all the sound, all the sound I heard when I made those records and poured my heart and soul into every one, the good and the bad, the great and the ‘should be gone’. They are all there in the new place.

    A giant time machine cabinet.

    There are files and files for years and years, all full of music. Albums and tracks, bits and pieces, manuscripts and art, film and video. I live there.

    Each song is being backed up with the archival material that relates to it and to the creation of it, from song writing to band jams, the history of this music is there. It’s never finished, it is huge and growing. We work night and day expanding the window you can see this archival stuff through.

    Come and visit the cabinet and take a look inside. If you like my music, this should be a good place to wander and spend the light and dark hours.

    I am here now, reaching out to you, but I wont be here for long, I’ll be there at NYA with my music, new and old. I’ll be on the Timeline. Every day, I will be choosing the song of the day. I will be there writing, ruminatIng and ramblIng. We have a newspaper ( The Times-Contrarian ) full of updates, projects and upcoming events related to my music.

    If you want to hear my music and would like to have the option to listen to it with all the depth and glory of high resolution,  it will be there. All my new records can be  heard there first, before they get released anywhere else. New unreleased albums from the archives, old unreleased albums from the archives. Will always be heard there first.

    Our machine is a monster.

    Tickets to all our shows will be offered there first, and occasionally we will have surprise live streams from our Hearse Theatre, for those who can’t attend. We just streamed the 5/5/18 NYCH Reunion. Right now we are offering the best seats in the house for a short series of SOLO shows in Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis and Boston to our NYA Community friends and members first, before tickets are made available to the public. After June 1, our presale tickets will be available to members only, so join us if you can.

    The place is called NYA.

    It stands for neilyoungarchives.com, in the language of the day.

    It’s free to everyone now.

    As of June 1 there will be memberships available at $1.99 a month, or $19.99 per year.

    Parts of NYA will always be free.

    You can always be there.

    This place is made for you to get the best of me. I appreciate you and want you to always have the first choice.

    Hope to see you there.

    Neil hasn't had much of a presence on facebook at all, so it seems little bit strange that he's acting like it was taking time away from anything. But whatever.

    $20 a year seems like a good deal (keep the penny, Neil).

    Should I go see Crosby live in the fall? never really listened to his stuff...

    I'll skip Van Morrison and Graham Nash.

    If I had to/ could choose between those three I would definitely go with Crosby.  If you do go, maybe give us a quick show review!  :smile:

    Pretty epic score on the vinyl front for me recently.

    First up, the Roxy vinyl finally arrived, the first time an order from Neil’s site has taken this long. It’s great that you get a download on release day, but it’s always much nicer to have the wax.



    Then last week a collector friend of mine from back home gave me the heads up that these were available...







    They all arrived this morning and I’m still in shock. Dead Man and Broken Arrow are still sealed - they won’t be for long! - Lucky Thirteen is open but in really good condition.

    I’ve pretty much blown my record-buying budget for the year but it was well worth it :)

    How much did you have to give for them?

    Roxy was/is 40 dollars here. I can't really justify it.

    Roxy was $30 on Neil's website. For some reason I always buy his new vinyl direct (a bit like only buying PJ vinyl from 10C I guess). The shipping is usually pretty quick; the last vinyl box set (ORS 8.5-12) arrived a couple of days after release day. 

    I paid 350 for the other 3. I think the split was 150 for Broken Arrow / 125 for Dead Man / 75 for Lucky Thirteen. I didn't intend to buy all 3, but I couldn't bring myself to leave any of them out!
