To All the Reviewers Out There: Ryan Adams – Easy Tiger

To All the Reviewers Out There: Ryan Adams   Easy Tiger :: ryan adams 715512From a mail by a music drunk:

A new record, another masterpiece. I have read some reviews of “Easy Tiger”. I could virtually see the stressed-out scribes struggling with the lines that were still to be written, after the inevitable passage on how prolific Ryan Adams is was completed. I’m appreciative of the difficulties those writers encounter, of their woeful lifes, their dreadful bosses, of the snow and Cratchit’s family. I understand, those poor souls were condemned into an existentialist hell, which isn’t “other people”, but one’s very own opinions and the compulsion to speak them out. Look into their eyes, hazy from tears that settled down. Oh, you can’t be angry with them. Instead, forgive them, befriend them and teach them this helpful lesson of logic: All reviews of all forthcoming Ryan Adams records are to be schemed like this: Ryan’s the master. A record’s a piece. Therefore Ryan’s record’s a masterpiece. Simple it is.

Snippet :: Neil Young – Time Fades Away (Vinyl Transfer) (mp3s)

Neil Young – Time Fades Away (Vinyl Transfer) [MP3s]
The 1973 Live album, Time Fades Away, marks the first LP in Neil Young’s early 1970s Ditch Trilogy (see also: On The Beach, Tonight’s The Night). Somehow, 30+ years later, with the vinyl long out of print, it has yet to see the light of day in terms of a proper CD release. This is most definitely due to numerous accounts of Neil Young disparaging the album as his “worst,” which is unfortunate, because if you like your Shakey with a little dirt on ‘em, Time Fades Away is as good as it gets.
