When I haven't heard it in a while and I take it out for a spin... oh yeah!  It never gets old.  Never!

    Incredible album - hoping Neil will revisit it for his archives project...

    He's talking about Merkinball, not Mirror Ball.

    If anything gets a reissue it shoulda been both Mirror and Merkin before this recent slew. Would love to see a re-tour of this vs album reissue. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    I'm surprised it wasn't repressed with the No Code/ Yield stuff. 

    Maybe Neil has something planned and the PJ camp is waiting for that.

    Yes, true.  But I can see how they get crossed over- they are so closely tied to  each other and what a great thing- Pearl Jam giving their best for a Neil Young LP and Neil adding great input into Merkinball which in reality is only a single, yet there's so much emotion packed into those two songs they become something much bigger.

    A 12" 45 RRM Merkiln ball would be incredible!

    Must be all the broken sleep I've been getting with a newborn at home.

    Ah, those were the days.




















    Said no one, ever!

    I believe I called my amazing wife the c-word during those no-sleep infant days. Believe it or not, I get cranky when I haven't had enough sleep.

    Given than we only got two songs of the Neil Young/PJ collaboration with Eddie singing, I've often wondered if there's a few more in the vault.

    Yeah, it fuckin' sucks. Apparently I get depressed when I don't have enough sleep. Hello, Lexapro.

    Sorry to hear this, bud. As you know from your first, it gets better (or somewhat better). Of course, that does nothing to help you out right now.

    Perhaps this will.

    it's rough, dude. and we actually had it easy. our first was sleeping 13 hours through the night at 6 weeks old. SO many other parents wanted to kill us for telling them that. our second, though, wasn't nearly that easy. I am not one of those people that can muscle through no sleep either. it was tough. 
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    Happened to find Merkinball at the local record store the other day for $13 or thereabouts. Couldn’t believe it.

    Yes! Couldn’t believe it. Had a double take moment. Found the 96 and 97 7” Christmas singles a few days later!
