    great groove is right merkinball! it's crazy how fast this has come about...and the end result...nine days from start of writing to recorded and complete...unheard of!...unless it's classic neil ;)

    Alright, just finished up with America the Beautiful. What a great album, and Kidapollo, you're right on. This is one important work, captures the essence of being alive at this time in history. As much as we need Neil right now, I hope that other artists hear this call, and are as inspired by his work.

    Night all, got to get the kids up and off to school in a few hours (Can't wait to listen to this LOUD, without worrying about waking them up!). Nice to be able to share this experience with you.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    I have listened to it a few times now through and I can't stop... This would have worked with PJ backing.

    just been looking round some sites, someone on mininova has ripped the streams and posted the mp3s

    apparently a good quality version (a legit one ?) is going to be available on monday
    We did not change as we grew older; we just became more clearly ourselves.

    This should be a sticky! I think I've gotten past the excitement of it being a new Neil Young album, and the seriousness of the lyrics are really starting to hit. I'll be buying multiple copies of this as gifts.

    I'm digging Restless Consumer now, has a bit of a Be The Rain vibe to it.
