Happy 80th birthday Neil Young. Ten years ago I was in LA and I saw him eating dinner with Daryl Hannah. This was his car parked outside the restaurant. Peeked inside and yes there was a huge Pono player.

Really sad about this news. Todd has dealt with so much already, this just seems stupidly cruel. Sending best wishes to an American treasure.
Also: If you assault Todd Snider, that's a "go straight to hell" ticket right there.

Four years before Scorsese put “Werewolves Of London” in TCOM Warren Zevon regularly dedicated “Accidentally Like A Martyr” to Marty on tour. My fave is the Boston bootleg where he also quotes the Biblical epigraph from RAGING BULL.

In honor of ELECTRIC NEBRASKA entering the world, I decided to go long on "lost" albums and why they're so appealing and romantic to me, focusing on 25 "lost" albums in particular (in list form).

Really touched by this Benny Safdie shoutout in a new GQ interview about his new movie THE SMASHING MACHINE. Can't wait to see the flick!
