  • Nytt Album "Storytone" Fra Neil Young 3.November
    13-10-2014 12:00 CEST Nytt album "Storytone" fra Neil Young 3.november Neil Young slipper sitt nyeste studioalbum titulert Storytone via Reprise Records 3.november. Storytone består av 10 nye låter spilt inn i studio med et 92 personer stort orkester, kor og Young selv. Han tok en annen tilnærming på dette albumet, startet først med å spille inn låtene på egenhånd i soloformat. Deretter ble låtene spilt inn på nytt i ny drakt med et orkester og et storband. Første låten ut fra albumet er “Who’s Gonna Stand Up?,” som opprinnelig ble fremført på livekonsertene med Crazy Horse i UK denne sommeren og som en del av Young sitt akustiske solosett på Farm Aid. Tematisk sett er låta en bønn om å ende vår avhengighet til fossilt brensel i håp om å beskytte jordas skjøre økosystemer for fremtidige generasjoner. Lær mer om initiativet her: http://www.neilyoung.com/news/. Handre høydepunkter fra albumet er den bittersøte åpningslåta “Plastic Flowers,”, den bluesy swing låta “I Want To Drive My Car,” den lengtende “Tumbleweed,” eller denne hjertefølte “When I Watch You Sleeping.” Albumet er nå tilgjegnelig for forhåndsbestilling på iTunes Albumet slippes i følgende utgaver: standard CD med de 10 orkestrale versjonene av Storytone, Deluxe CD (med både orkester og soloversjoner), og den 180 grams doble vinylen, som slippes 15 desember og som kommer til å inneholde begge versjonene av albumet. All musikken på Storytone ble produsert av The Volume Dealers (Neail Young og Niko Bolas), innspilt og mikset av Al Schmitt.

  • Testimony of Thomas Devine, Government Accountability Project
    TESTIMONY OF THOMAS DEVINE, GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY PROJECT before the SUBCOMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT OF GOVERNMENT MANAGEMENT, THE FEDERAL WPRKFORCE AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, SENATE COMMITTEE ON HOMELAND SECURITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE on S. 372 THE WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTION ENHANCEMENT ACT June 11, 2009 Thank you for inviting this testimony on legislation to put protection back in the Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA). Until now, the new millennium has been the Dark Ages – unprecedented levels of corruption, sustained by secrecy and enforced through repression. This legislation is necessary to turn on the light just in time. Already this year we have embarked on the largest spending program in government history through the stimulus law. We are on the verge of landmark societal overhauls to prevent medical care disasters for America’s families due to national health insurance, and to prevent environmental disasters for the whole planet from global warming. We have been shamed by torture and widespread domestic surveillance. The President has promised the taxpayers will get their money’s worth, and that never again will America betray the core values of freedom, and humanity. That commitment is a fantasy unless public servants have the freedom to bear witness, whether it is the freedom to warn of disasters before they happen, or to protest abuses of power that betray the public trust. Timely passage of genuine whistleblower rights also would be a signal that new Congressional leadership is serious about three basic taxpayer commitments that require best practices accountability checks and balances —1) getting our money’s worth from unprecedented stimulus spending; 2) locking in checks and balances to keep honest the new markets created by health care and climate change laws; and 3) informed oversight so that the next time abuses of human rights abroad and freedom at home will end while they are the exception, instead of the rule after eight years of secrecy.

  • An Exploration of Disability in Neil Young's Life and Music Isaac Stein Abstract
    (Beyond) Popular Culture Transformer Man: An Exploration of Disability in Neil Young’s Life and Music Isaac Stein Abstract: This article begins with a short personal narrative of my own struggles growing up with a form of cerebral palsy (right hemiplegia), and the way music – and in particular Neil Young’s songs – provided a crucial emotional and cathartic outlet for me. I then examine Neil Young’s intimate personal connection with disability, including his own struggles with polio and epilepsy and his experiences raising his two sons Zeke and Ben, both of whom have cerebral palsy (one milder, one quite severe). I delve into many of Neil’s songs that either subtly or explicitly explore issues of disability and difference, such as Mr. Soul and Transformer Man. I conclude by recounting my experience attending the Bridge School Benefit, an annual concert put on by Neil and his wife Pegi to raise funds for the school they founded for disabled children. In sum, this article will attempt to capture something of the way in which Neil Young and other artists have created music that is both personally therapeutic and collectively empowering for members of the disabled community. Key Words: Neil Young, music and disability, music as empowerment As a child and teenager growing up with right hemiplegia, a form of cerebral palsy that limits the movement and sensation in the right side of my body, feeling different was an unavoidable part of my everyday life. Most boys want to be good at sports – I was no exception. I couldn’t be, and it hurt.
