Randomly Blogged: Neil's iPod Playlist, EKTIN Cover Wars, The Archives Breakdown

If Neil Young had an iPod what would be on his playlist?

Hidden Track » Cover Wars: Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Hollywood Report - WSJ.com on The archives:

"Larry Johnson, the project's producer, says the first installment is to include about 128 songs, 18 of them never released before. There are to be 200 photographs, 160 lyrics manuscripts and more."

out of 128?

hm...i suppose neil released everything he recorded that early in his career...

i hope the video that comes with the archives will be better than the track list

Vol. 2 is bound to please,though

almost all of neil's output from the mid seventies were shelved and never released

neil also played some of his best guitar during those years.

bring on the archives!

i can't wait.

But I guess it really depends on how much it ends up being. The video will probably be good though, as well as all the other "materials".

Mr. Roberts, his manager, says users will inevitably make their own lower-resolution copies for use in cars or iPods. "It'll be copied down to [CD] anyhow, and it'll be even worse quality" than commercially released CDs"

Looks like it'll be coming out on CD & DVD after all then.

At 5/19/2008 09:01:00 AM, Anonymous said...: i forgot to mention in my comment above,but did anyone else notice that the article concerning the Archives states that it'll be five cd's?

the preview of the Archives on Youtube clearly shows 10 discs being included in the Archives

or 8, without the Fillmore or Massey Hall discs

with such innacuracies,one tends to wonder the legitimacy of the whole "only 18 unreleased tracks out of 128" or the fact that it will also be available on cd and dvd at a later date

only time will tell,i suppose!!
