Tattoo of the Moment: "On The Beach Face" Neil Young's Album Cover

 "On The Beach" Face via WolfmanZack (Click photo to enlarge)

 

The Tattoo of the Moment is from WolfmanZack (aka Weed Detective) with a pretty audacious Neil Young tattoo of "On The Beach Face".

WolfmanZack -- who BTW is ranked in the "Top 0.05% of Neil Young listeners on Spotify 2 years in a row" -- says this:

The artist does that kind of half-face portrait style as his signature style, and I'd been wanting a Neil tattoo. 

"On the Beach" is my favorite Neil Young album so it seemed fitting, he added the weed bolo tie flourish, I made sure there was plaid and sideburns etc

Quite a statement, we must say.  And we thought we really liked "On the Beach" album!?

"CHEVROLET": ONE SONG - TWO LENGTHS | Neil Young Archives

CHEVROLET: ONE SONG - TWO LENGTHS Subscriber News | Neil Young Archives

From Subscriber News | Neil Young Archives comes word that the song "Chevrolet" -- from upcoming Crazy Horse album WORLD RECORD -- will be released in 2 versions.

Hang on, because this is going to be complicated.   It's a Shakey deal.

Neil posts on NYA:

NYA10-24-22

The story of how one song became two lengths is interesting. The first edition vinyl Chevrolet is 13:32. Possibly the longest Crazy Horse album track.

After we mixed Chevrolet, we edited down Chevrolet to the version on the vinyl - 13:32 to fit on one disc.

We went right to the vinyl mastering to be on schedule to get the album out by Nov. 18th.

A week later, we had a playback of the album for Reprise. We played back the digital master that was identical to the vinyl. At the end of the playback of Chevrolet everyone cheered!

That really felt great! 

Go read the whole NYA post to fully understand.  But to summarize as best we can:

• For quality reasons, Neil OK'd a double LP format, but it was too late to change the master for "Chevrolet" which had been prepared for a single LP format.  
• So Neil had the last 2-3 minutes of the song cut from vinyl release. The full song will be on CD and NYA. 
  

BTW, just for the (world) record,  both "Ramada Inn" and "Walk Like a Giant" from Psychedelic Pill are longer songs than "Chevrolet" at 16:52 and 16:30 respectively.

In addition, there will be two videos of ‘Chevrolet’, one by dhlovelife who directed ‘Love Earth’, plus a second studio version a la ‘Break The Chain’. A Behind the Scenes ‘World Record’ is coming too.

"Out of the BLUE and into the BLACK" or "Better to burn out than it is to Truss"

Front and Back Covers of ‘Out of the Blue: The inside story of Liz Truss and her astonishing rise to power’ (Click photo to enlarge)

 

Our Twitter feed was blowing up this morning as everyone was having a field day at the expense of former British PM  Liz Truss.

Naturally, we had no idea what the kerfuffle was all about??

But many are finding it very interesting how the front and back covers of her book tie in directly to Neil Young's lyrics. Obviously, someone at the publisher is a big Neil fan. 

 

"Out of the blue and into the black 

You pay for this, but they give you that 

And once you're gone, 

you can't come back 

When you're out of the blue and into the black."

 

So hey, hey, my, my, Liz has got to go.

 

(thanks Woody W.!)
 

As some have already noted, Truss's short lived administration didn’t even have time to rust.

 

As an almost lifetime "rustie", we all know that one of the most fundamental universal laws -- in the immortal lyrics of Neil Young -- is that Rust Never Sleeps. 

 

But why?

And if you must know the answer, then to know is to ask: Why Does Rust Never Sleep?

Rustie Pro Tip: Did You Know This About Neil Young Archives??

File Cabinet:  Neil Young Archives(Click photo to enlarge)

 

File this is in the category of Rustie Pro Tips.

Ever wonder if there was any logic to the TAB layout in the NYA file cabinet?  Why are some TABS hand written?  Some TABS with typewriter font? Some TABS are blue?  Some TABS are yellow? 

Well, wonder no more. Per  Subscriber News | Neil Young Archives:

Left-side tabs are songs that have been released on an Original Release Series Album (ORS).

Right-side tabs are songs that are part of the “Archives Volumes” series as those volumes are released. We are currently preparing the release of Volume 3. At that point many more Right-side tabs will be available.

Center tabs contain released albums and films. Each album is also assigned a color label. Songs on that album share that same label. When the same song (meaning the exact same recording) appears on more than one album, its color label will always match with the album it was originally released on.

Thanks for that Rustie Pro Tip Neil & NYA crew!
