The much discussed Neil Young Archives box set collects nine years of his work into one volume, which hits stores today. (A second volume will follow). To hear a younger Young, fans can time travel through this span of recordings made between 1963-1972, when he was performing with The Squires, Buffalo Springfield, Crazy Horse, CSN&Y, and of course solo. Here's one tune from the vault: a previously unreleased version of "Dance Dance Dance" recorded with Crazy Horse.
Metallica, Neil Young, and Keyshia Cole were among the Bay Area acts on the Grammys' nominee list, which made the rounds in the music industry today. Metallica is up for "Best Metal Performance," "Best Rock Instrumental Performance," and "Best Rock Album," (all related to Death Magnetic). Young got the nod for "Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance"; while Cole got her nomination for "Best Female Vocal R&B Performance." Local artists also made it on the Grammy picks in the areas of folk (Joan Bae
(Photo by by Serina Nielson) Strange when an indie record store in Salt Lake City lists among its most popular releases a relatively unknown band from San Francisco. But in the Jan. 22 issue of Rolling Stone's "local favorites" column, the Bay Area's own Uzi & Ari's Headworms was listed among Neil Young, Fleet Foxes, and Bon Iver for the top selling records at a place called Slowtrain Records. Listening to tunes like "Missouri" "Missoula" and "Wolf Eggs," it's easy to hear the group's a
One of my favorite local(-ish, he's based in Monterrey) promoters is (((folkYEAH!))). Under that name, music fan Britt Govea has brought a host of freak folk, heavy drone, psych rock, and the like to the Fernwood and the Henry Miller Library in Big Sur -- as well as concerts in the Santa Cruz Mountains at the Brookdale Lodge, and a handful of SF. The Big Sur events are legendary in California for good reason, attracting folks up from LA and down from SF to gather around campfires, hotel rooms, t
I'm Neil Young, biatch!
10. His middle name is Percival. (This actually explains his often anguished, tortured voice).
9. Before joining Buffalo Springfield, Young was in the Mynah Birds, a band fronted by future funkster Rick James. It's unclear whether he ever told James, "I'm Neil Young, biatch!"
8. His pre-fame pals included Joni Mitchell and Randy Bachman of BTO.
7. He has several aliases, including Bernard Shakey, director of "Journey Through the Past," "Rust Never Sleeps," and the up
Neil Young went DIY style for the two new videos he released recently. He plays a greedy exec rapping "cough up the bucks" into a cell phone as he rides around in a limo for "Cough Up the Bucks" (pretty funny little clip, even though the sarcasm is far from understated).

And then there's a gorgeous, somber ballad, "Light a Candle," featuring Young's wife Pegi singing along from inside an RV.

From Neil Young to the Pixies, musicians are banking on fans forking over the big bucks to own more than a collection of songs. Different acts are experimenting with various ways to repackage their music to include physical odds and ends, video footage, and other goodies that help hike up revenues to the artists.
