(Diversions, a recurring feature on Aquarium Drunkard, catches up with our favorite artists as they wax on subjects other than recording and performing.)
Last year Everest found themselves on tour with Neil Young. If you are familiar with their debut LP, Ghost Notes, or their live show for that matter, then the pairing makes absolute sense. [...]
In the spirit of the residual frenzy surrounding the release of volume one of Neil’s archives, we continue with the Neil Young reposts. Below is part 1 of 2, of Volume II, of the Perfect Echo compilation chronicling the years 1978-1984. Stay tuned for part two.

For those interested in the back story, here are notes [...]
Below is the second half of the Neil Young soundboard-derived live collection A Perfect Echo Vol. I. capturing the years 1974 – 1976. The first half can be found here. For those interested in the back story, here are notes on the series via sharing the groove:
“Braden Strickler has done it again. He’s compiled and [...]
The following set was posted on AD in 2007 and I had planned on reposting it in early 2008 in conjunction with the release of the first volume of Neil Young’s archives project. Since then the set was, obviously, pushed back multiple times…and with it, this repost. So for those who have requested it over [...]
Here’s the thing about the first installment of Neil Young’s Archives project: only the obsessive will care, and with the (variable) price point, care enough to pony up the cash to purchase. This was never intended to appeal to the casual fan and/or newbie. Now that alone isn’t revelatory, but when one considers the amount [...]
(Leading up to the June 2nd release of the first volume of Neil Young’s long awaited Archives project, AD is posting a series Neil related posts.)
Those keeping track the past couple of weeks will note this is the second cover I’ve featured culled from Neil Young’s 1992 Harvest Moon album (noticing a trend here?). In [...]
Released in 1989 (wow, a whole twenty years ago) The Bridge – A Tribute To Neil Young boasts an impressive array of artists representing a wide swath of the, then, contemporary “alternative” music scene. The set is culled from a fairly diverse pool of left of center talent including, but not limited to, Nick Cave, [...]
As I mentioned the other day, you can expect a good amount of Neil Young related posts leading up to the June 2nd release of the first installment of the bard’s long awaited/delayed Archives Series. This is a good thing. And to be honest it really doesn’t take much to come up with an “excuse” [...]
This being AD it is inevitable that there will be a myriad of Neil Young related posts on the horizon, what with the first volume of his long awaited archives set with a release date of June 2nd. Last year TV On The Radio’s Tunde Adebimpe made an appearance in Jonathan Demme’s Rachel Getting Married [...]
Ah yes, Neil in the early ’80s. An interesting, if often ignored, era in the artist’s four decade career. If you’ve read Shakey (and really, any card-carrying Neil Young fan should) you’re aware the first half of the decade was rife with random experimentation and exploration — the majority of which was considerably underwhelming [...]
Sugar Mountain, the third live release in anticipation of Neil Young’s forthcoming Blu-Ray/DVD archives project, finds the bard at the University of Michigan, aged 23, soon after Buffalo Springfield’s inevitable split. One of Young’s earliest known (recorded) solo performances, the set exemplifies the singer-songwriters preternatural talent both in the material and delivery.
While the [...]
