Stephen Colbert adds spider to list of things named after him
At this point in his career, it's become pretty apparent that Stephen Colbert is a baller. The man already has an airplane, an ice cream flavor, a hockey mascot and a bald freaking eagle bearing his name. As if that wasn't enough, he can now add a spider to the list.... read more

CSNY doesn’t always stand for Crime Scene: New York, or any other might-be primetime television murder-drama. In this case, in fact, it stands for four gentlemen as far on the other side of the spectrum as one can get: beloved peace activists and musicians, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. The latter of these men, Neil Young (who now officially has a spider named after him?!?) has produced a documentary entitled CSNY - Déjà Vu. Yes, it shares its name with the second CSNY album, and yes, it shares some similarities. Déjà Vu the first time focused on anti-Vietnam sentiments, and... read more

Found in: Music, NewsNeil Young releases archive collection on Blu-ray
Curious how Neil Young looked while writing “Cinnamon Girl”? Want to see images of his early records? How about listening to his entire collection while reading news clips and viewing pictures that fit chronologically? Young has announced that he will release his oft-rumored archival collection on Blu-ray disc. When we say complete archival collection, we mean complete archival collection.

Found in: Music, NewsNeil Young pushes back Archives, Greendale headed to stage
Neil Young’s long-waited Archives series is being pushed back. Again. The box set is being held up because Young, long an opponent of digital music, has decided to release the material via DVD and Blu-Ray. The format change will allow the set to more closely adhere to the songwriter’s multimedia vision. "I know it's in technical production now, but it's only coming out on Blu-ray and DVD," Young told Billboard.com. "There won't be CDs. Technology has caught up to what the concept was in the first place [and] how we're able to actually present it. But there's no doubt it... read more
Found in: Music, NewsNeil Young to (finally) tour U.K.
If absence makes the heart grow fonder, then citizens of the United Kingdom must be starting to go all googly-eyed for Neil Young. It has been five years since the legend has toured through the British Isles. That’s like going through a standard collegiate degree program, working a job for a year and never once going to see your Uncle Nigel in Cambridge, even though he’s always promised you a warm welcome complete with tea and crumpets. Well, the U.K. needs only to wait a little longer to welcome back the singer/songwriter. Young has announced his plans for a tour... read more

Found in: Music, ReviewsNeil Young gets feminized on tribute CD
Neil Young has always been a man's man, the kind who'd go get plastered before a gig and then deliver a performance that would change the lives of everyone in the audience. His attire and guitar sound have always been ragged, and it isn't too much of a stretch to imagine him and the members of Crazy Horse driving around in a pickup truck together, firing off rifles intermittently. So perhaps the guy could use a feminine touch every once in awhile. Hence a new tribute album to Young that says everything you need to know in its title: Cinnamon... read more
Found in: Music, NewsNeil Young tours on Chrome Dreams II
Barbers, break out your straight razors - Neil Young and his crazy (horse) chops are back on the road promoting the latest from the outspoken rocker, Chrome Dreams II, a name that stems from his unreleased 1977 album, Chrome Dreams. The harmonica blowin', corporate bashin', death defyin' folkie cum rockstar has recruited his wife of almost 30 years, Pegi Young, to open for him nightly, as she promotes her eponymous solo album foray into the musical morass. This is Young's first album to come since 2006's Living with War. Still on the horizon for February is the long awaited, oft-rescheduled... read more
