New Releases by Neil YOUNG

''The Opposite of Grieving brings together the talents of three poets who collectively run the publishing outlet Drunk Muse Press. There the similarities in their theme and style end. Hugh McMillan''s poems are mostly lyrical meditations on a father''s relationship and travels with his daughters, while Neil Young''s satires rewrite and reimagine Greek myths with a contemporary twist, and Jessamine O''Connor''s selection explores a gamut of responses to loss and bereavement. Each poet''s work is characterised by an angled approach that causes the reader to re-examine expectations.

After the Riot'' is both elegaic and defiant. The poems begin by revisiting a Belfast doorway where ''no-one has kicked the carpet dust in forty years'', then open out to explore themes of migration, displacement, war, legacies of violence and loss but - ultimately - regeneration. These are poems as snapshots that unravel stories; they are acutely concerned with the struggle to extricate memory from myth-making as personal and political histories collide.

Neil Young took on the music industry so that fans could hear his music—all music—the way it was meant to be heard. Today, most of the music we hear is com-pressed to a fraction of its original sound,while analog masterpieces are turning to dustin record company vaults. As these record-ings disappear, music fans aren''t just losing acollection of notes. We''re losing spaciousness,breadth of the sound field, and the ability tohear and feel a ping of a triangle or a pluckof a guitar string, each with its own reso-nance and harmonics that slowly trail off intosilence. The result is music that is robbed of its original quality—muddy and flat in sound compared to the rich, warm sound artists hear in the studio. It doesn''t have to be this way, but the record and technology companies have incorrectly assumed that most listeners are satisfied with these low-quality tracks. Neil Young is challenging the assault on audio quality—and working to free music lovers from the flat and lifeless status quo. To Feel the Music is the true story of his questto bring high-quality audio back to musiclovers—the most important undertaking ofhis career. It''s an unprecedented look insidethe successes and setbacks of creating thePono player, the fights and negotiationswith record companies to preserve master-pieces for the future, and Neil''s unrelentingdetermination to make musical art availableto everyone. It''s a story that shows how muchmore there is to music than meets the ear. Neil''s efforts to bring quality audio to his fans garnered media attention when his Kickstarter campaign for his Pono player—a revolutionary music player that would combine the highest quality possible with the portability, simplicity and affordability modern listeners crave—became the third-most successful Kickstarter campaign in the website''s history. It had raised more than $6M in pledges in 40 days. Encouraged by the enthusiastic response, Neil still had a long road ahead, and his Pono music player would not have the commercial success he''d imagined. But he remained committed to his mission, and faced with the rise of streaming services that used even lower quality audio, he was determined to rise to the challenge. An eye-opening read for all fans of Neil Young and all fans of great music, as well as readers interesting in going behind the scenes of product creation, To Feel the Music has an inspiring story at its heart: One determined artist with a groundbreaking vision and the absolute refusal to give up, despite setbacks, naysayers, and skeptics.

At the age of 16 I was released from a year long stay in a Mexican behavioral modification facility and returned to Portland Oregon where I made an attempt to live a happy normal life. This novella tells the story of a young bisexual male struggling with manic depression and the troubles that go along with it.

Includes: After the Gold Rush * Broken Arrow * Cinnamon Girl * Down to the Wire * Harvest * Heart of Gold * I Believe in You * Long May You Run * The Old Laughing Lady * Sugar Mountain * Tired Eyes * Walk On * and many more.

Quirky and wonderfully candid, Neil Young''s second book of reminiscences is as compelling as his first book. He returns with more unforgettable stories about his six decades in the music business - but this is not your average rock biography. He centres this work on one of his life''s passions, cars, using the framework of all the cars he''s ever owned to construct a narrative of his life and career, exploring and demonstrating how memories are attached to objects. Young also expresses regret for the environmental impact of his past cars, and now passionately advocates the use of clean energy. ''Special Deluxe'' is a mix of memoir and environmental politics by one of the most gifted and influential artists of our time.

Lenda do rock e do folk, criador do Buffalo Springfield, líder da banda Crazy Horse, parceiro de Crosby, Nash e Stills, um dos maiores guitarristas de todos os tempos e um dos músicos mais influentes de sua geração. Ao longo do último meio século, o cantor e compositor Neil Young construiu uma carreira de sólido sucesso nos Estados Unidos e no resto do planeta. O recente lançamento mundial de Neil Young – A autobiografia, no entanto, revela uma personalidade multifacetada – para muito além do que os fãs de sua música poderiam imaginar. Colecionador de automóveis e especialista em modelismo ferroviário (é dono de uma empresa do ramo), há anos Young investe e trabalha num projeto de carro elétrico. Não qualquer carro, mas o chamado Lincvolt, um gigantesco Lincoln Continental movido a energia renovável e limpa (Young sonha em ser sustentável sem prejuízo para a paixão americana por carrões). O compositor também desenvolve, às próprias custas, a PureTone, alternativa digital à tecnologia dos MP3, capaz de distribuir música online e de proporcionar para o consumidor final um som com qualidade similar à dos discos de vinil. Young escreveu de próprio punho uma narrativa fragmentada, com o vai e vem aleatório das recordações determinando a ordem em que as histórias são apresentadas. É por meio desses flashes do passado, e por constantes divagações do autor acerca do presente e do futuro, que o leitor toma contato com essa impressionante diversidade de interesses do artista. Da mesma maneira, episódios marcantes vêm à tona fora de ordem cronológica, exclusivamente ao sabor da inspiração do momento. Os parceiros na música, as grandes amizades, os amores, a paixão pela esposa Pegi e pelos filhos Zeke, Ben e Amber, entre muitos outros temas, vão surgindo conforme avança o fluxo da memória do autor. Como um pungente solo de guitarra de Neil Young, sua autobiografia parece nos envolver e nos transportar para um outro lugar, um outro tempo – o tempo do sonho hippie de paz, amor e rock''n''roll.

... 5 years later It''s been almost five years to the day after the disastrous events in ''kill People'' and the beautiful and deadly assassin Lexa Lash still has not found her revenge. In those five years, her newfound friends, Linda Vane, Brian Cooper, and the mysterious Lang Shen have all but scattered to the four winds, but the dark cloud of their shared past still hangs over them, threatening to draw them back together. The Eldest, and his merciless protégé Takahashi Matsuo, have at last set their vile plans into motion, setting Lexa''s world on fire, and only by uncovering the unspeakable mystery surrounding the ultra-secret group known as the ''loved Ones'' will she or her friends find any hope of survival. ...And yet, from somewhere in the background, lingering in the darkest shadows of men''s hearts emerges a new threat, a threat of such sickening distaste that years earlier even the demented assassin Karl was left disturbed. All this and more lie ahead in the exciting second novel in the Assassin''s Daughter series.

The perfect gift for music lovers and Neil Young fans, telling the story behind Neil Young''s legendary career and his iconic, beloved songs. “I think I will have to use my time wisely and keep my thoughts straight if I am to succeed and deliver the cargo I so carefully have carried thus far to the outer reaches.”—Neil Young, from Waging Heavy Peace Legendary singer and songwriter Neil Young’s storied career has spanned over forty years and yielded some of the modern era’s most enduring music.

The deluxe eBook edition of Waging Heavy Peace includes excerpts of more than fifteen Neil Young songs (personally selected by Young himself) such as "After the Gold Rush," "Like a Hurricane," and "The Needle and the Damage Done," providing a soundtrack to his stories. Interspersed throughout the text are ten rare Young videos from his own archives, offering an uncommon behind the scenes glimpse of the man behind this memoir. In addition, a complete discography guarantees that diehard devotees and new fans alike enjoy the ultimate Neil Young experience. For the first time, legendary singer, songwriter, and guitarist Neil Young offers a kaleidoscopic view of his personal life and musical creativity. He tells of his childhood in Ontario, where his father instilled in him a love for the written word; his first brush with mortality when he contracted polio at the age of five; struggling to pay rent during his early days with the Squires; traveling the Canadian prairies in Mort, his 1948 Buick hearse; performing in a remote town as a polar bear prowled beneath the floorboards; leaving Canada on a whim in 1966 to pursue his musical dreams in the pot-filled boulevards and communal canyons of Los Angeles; the brief but influential life of Buffalo Springfield, which formed almost immediately after his arrival in California. He recounts their rapid rise to fame and ultimate break-up; going solo and overcoming his fear of singing alone; forming Crazy Horse and writing "Cinnamon Girl," "Cowgirl in the Sand," and "Down by the River" in one day while sick with the flu; joining Crosby, Stills & Nash, recording the landmark CSNY album, Déjà vu, and writing the song, "Ohio;" life at his secluded ranch in the redwoods of Northern California and the pot-filled jam sessions there; falling in love with his wife, Pegi, and the birth of his three children; and finally, finding the contemplative paradise of Hawaii. Astoundingly candid, witty, and as uncompromising and true as his music, Waging Heavy Peace is Neil Young''s journey as only he can tell it.

One season they were a bunch of blokes, drinking and cheering their way through six-a-side soccer; the next season they were all fathers or expectant fathers playing as Fertile FC and going home straight after the game to nurse mother and child. United in a desire not to come last, this assortment of men now found themselves united in something much bigger the challenging transition into fatherhood. Recounted in engaging, self-depreciating voices, the men write openly and honestly of the excitement, worries, hopes and fears that come with the looming responsibility of becoming a good team player in a completely new team. They found themselves in a range of contemporary family constellations and birthing experiences. There is a young first-timer, one 48-year-old first-time father, one father having his second child, one with a step-child, and one dad already with children to a different partner. They recount natural home, water and hospital births, a birthing centre birth, a breech and caesareans. Each chapter is one man s narrative about how he met his partner and contributed to the pregnancy and birth of their child; and what it was like afterwards. The only experts here are the actual men who went through it. Running alongside is their shared experience of their six-a-side football team, which in season one entered a social soccer competition as beginners, in season two became fathers, and in season three became champions.

One of the most perceptive descriptions of Manchester City''s play during their glory years was made by Manchester Evening News reporter Peter Gardner who said that "When Youngy plays, City play". For all the talk in the intervening years of greats such as Summerbee, Bell and Lee, it was the local lad made good who made most impact when it mattered. A tall, leggy striker with a venomous left-foot shot, Young scored in every significant game for City in the late 60s. Scorer of two goals in the 1968 Championship win up at Newcastle, the scorer of the 1969 FA Cup Final winner and the first goal in the 1970 Cup Winners'' Cup final, Neil Young played as significant a role in the success and style of the Mercer-Allison partnership as anyone. Yet by 1972 he was allowed to leave the club as City began their now familiar relationship with underachievement and mismanagement. In ''Catch a Falling Star'', Neil Young explains what he has been up to in the years since his sizzling shots stung the hands of the country''s finest goalkeepers. Here he frankly discusses the problem that faced footballers of the pre-Premiership era: "When I left Rochdale for the last time one Friday afternoon I had a week''s wages... about £60. I drove home and sat in my lounge for about two hours, wondering what the hell I was going to do. I had a car on HP, a mortgage, a wife and three children to feed. I was the provider who could no longer provide. I had no savings whatsoever and my wife didn''t work. I didn''t see it coming. It was a calamity waiting to happen." Thus starts Neil''s decline into illness and depression. During the next painful decade Neil suffered numerous illnesses, lost his family, his mother and survived a suicide attempt. Thankfully, he has emerged with his spirit intact thanks largely to the love of his third wife, Carmen. ''Catch a Falling Star'' is the moving tale of a how a star on the wane managed to mount a personal comeback as impressive as any achieved on the pitch by City''s star-studded squad of the late 60s.
