Hey Daryl! You're on the podcast!Starting this weekend (9/30/22) Paradox is officially available on the Neil Young Archives!

How's the business, Youngsters? It's been a minute! A few of them actually. But we're finally back and booming with some quality LMYY content - talking about ourselves and occasionally sprinkling in some Neil talk. And the Neil talk I speak of comes from two great live albums - Songs For Judy and Tonights The Night Live at the Roxy. We get into our favorite tracks. Talk a little history. Get sidetracked. It's pretty much exactly what it's always been. Mike gets mad at Russ for putting ketchup on a pastrami sub. Have you missed us?

The jury is in: This is one hell of an album. Almost every review we found, and everyone we asked seems to have the same feeling - this is raw Neil doing what he does best and doing the hell out of it. Recorded in 76 but not released until 2017, this stripped down collection is some of the finest Neil we've heard.

It's mind-blowing to me (Luke) how many people have missed this album, including myself.

Very excited for today's episode because we got to talk to our old pal Derek Webb! Derek has been a fixture in the Nashville music scene for over two decades and according to Luke - he's a lot like Neil. We get into his favorite Neil albums, the songwriting process, his experience with record labels and a bunch more. Honestly, it's one of those rare episodes where we don't go completely off the rails. It's kinda nice. Also, we fired Mike for this episode and hired our favorite substitute podcaster, Matt Lacorazza. So thanks to him for stepping in.

Our pal John Craigie joins us once again and we dive into each song. We fawn over Ramada Inn. Mike threatens physical violence against anyone who doesn't like the song.

40. Mirror Ball
It's 1995 and Neil is teaming up with Pearl Jam to make one of the most fabulous albums of the 90's (In Luke's opinion...) It's Mirror Ball! The boys start by congratulating Mike for his new job doing the morning show at The Pike by singing him a tune they whipped up. We get into the album pretty much right away. We talk about Pirate Neil, Abortion, Eddie's stalker, Merkin Ball and our different opinions of Downtown. (Mike thinks it's about CSN...) Overall, we've all got favorable things to say about this record. TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THIS...

39. Dylan Vs. Neil (with John Craigie)
On this week's monster episode (cue x-files theme) we got to talk to the incredibly talented singer/songwriter John Craigie. We talk songwriting, favorite Neil albums, stealing weed from Todd Snyder, and we dabble in the ever popular topic of Dylan vs. Neil. John's released an album last year called Asterisk The Universe and it's a damn masterpiece. Everyone should check it out. Special thanks to Matt Lacorazza (the gracious youngster himself) for guest hosting with Luke and Mike. Russ was getting another surgery, we think.To grab John's new album and check out everything he's got...

38. Sleeps With Angels
A beautiful and sad album from beginning to end, Sleeps With Angels has us feeling all sorts of feelings. In a rare afternoon recording session, we talk about the mournful nature of Neil's 20th studio album (and 7th with the horse) and how he's still got it well into the 90's. Dripping with melancholy, there's little to dislike. We talk about Cobain's suicide and the impact it had on this release. Russ spills a giant drink. We say the word "Change" so much on this album it becomes a new drinking game. My Heart has us all close to...

So apologies in advance for this episode, folks. It's probably the one we talk about Neil Young the least amount, and you can definitely hear the lack of Mike's notes... It's another Monster episode, and due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, our scheduled guest had to cancel last minute. But thankfully the other boys from Town Meeting - including our manager, Mike - were able to hop on last minute and help us ride out a good old New England snow storm. The boys are late of course.

Since both Lucky Thirteen and Unplugged mostly feature songs that we've covered already, we decided to double them up for this episode. And yes, there are a lot of repeats, but there are so many gems in these records. Russ starts in with more Ben Keith stuff. Mike and Luke fawn over Depression Blues. Russ's boss stops by for the first 15 minutes to talk about a board game he made up. We open a mysterious package left by a certain nail salesman. The boys all fawn over this version of Helpless.

We talked about his favorite Neil albums, what it was like to play on Conan, CSN vs. CSNY, and becoming part of Maine state history. Luke and Mike fight a little more about T-bone. We also read an iTunes review from Horse Lords and it pretty much unravels from there. Huge thanks to Griffin for joining us to talk Neil and other fun stuff this week. To buy the latest...

Happy new year, Youngsters! And what better way to start a new year than with this absolute gem of an album. The boys all agree, it's one of the greats. We talk about whether or not this is a "sequel" to Harvest. Mike brings up Russ's recent medical procedure. Mike also brings up Hootie and the Blowfish an unusual amount of times. But not nearly as many times as Russ brings up Ben Keith. It's borderline worrisome. Luke eats some fudge and thinks it may have been of the medicated variety. Do we actually talk about Neil?

It's the holiday season and let me tell you, Youngsters, the boys are MERRY in this one. Mike brings some pecan pie and it sets our spirits bright for a good fireside chat about Weld and Arc. We talk about the Horse, of course. Mike brings up David Briggs making someone cry and Neil putting a boot into the ass of one of his band members. The boys talk about edibles and live music.

Luke loves the way it was recorded. We come up with a questionable name for the drinks Luke made. About an hour into the episode, Luke gets noticeably annoyed at connection issues with his iPad.

We talk about how happy we are to finally be out of the 80's records, but also how this one wouldn't be what it is without them. We talk about Neil's influence on Patterson and DBT, and how sad it is that songs written in the 60's and 70's about racial injustice are still somehow relevant today. Luke loves Don't Cry. A lot.

25. Landing On Water
It's probably our most contentious episode yet! Wildly mixed reviews from the boys on this album. Luke thinks Neil pulls a Sully and lands it, but the other boys vehemently disagree. Russ comes in hot. He's not a fan of the drums and bass, and keeps trying to pick fights with Mike about 80's music. Mike sometimes takes the bait and sometimes doesn't. Mike likes the song Pressure but not much else. Luke, who in the past has said otherwise, comes out with a very favorable review of the whole album, but it might be just a hippie dream.

Mike brings up some unfortunate Neil quotes from the time and it sparks a lively discussion on religion, politics and how people can change.

Make it Stop: A Bad Music Podcast
Neil Young - Landing on Water (ft. Mike Hsu and Luke Condon of the Long May You Young Podcast)
After helping mold and define the counter-culture of the late sixties and early 70s, Neil Young pulled an about face in the 80s, throwing his support behind Ronald Reagan, the war on drugs, and welfare reform. Tired of being pigeonholed, he shifted away from the socially conscious folk rock he was known for, releasing a series of headscratching albums that saw him experimenting with rockabilly, banjos and vocoders. Geffen Records became so fed up with his new direction that they sued him for 3.2 million dollars. On the Season 4 premiere of Make It Stop, we discuss the album that came...
