As a reaction to the prohibitive cost of tickets for the Hammersmith Apollo gigs, Guntrip and I are organising a gig at the Brixton Windmill on Sunday 2nd March. Half a dozen acts, each playing at least two Neil Young covers as part of their set - confirmed so far are 4 or 5 Magicians and Andrew Ferris from Jetplane Landing. Others TBC, including Pocus Whiteface and DJing from Jamie Summers Off Of The Internets, if he can fit us into his hectic schedule.
We're currently billed on the Windmill website as "Long May You Run: A Tribute To Neil Young", but I can't help thinking there must be a few incredible puns lurking out there. Any suggestions?
P.S.
add it to your motherfucking diaries, yo.
Harvest Loon(y prices to see the real thing, so here's a tribute night)
Aren't we confirmed? Well consider Pocus CONFIRMED
:D

Excellent stuff. Get practising!
Hmm
Young At Heart?

i'd call it a good reason to stay at home
:P
You need to be there or we'll kill you
how can you kill me if I not there, hey?
I don't knowingly dislike any of the bands playing, i just find most of Neil Young a bit meh

"meths is a total knobend"
Is that the name of the night?
Seriously, please let that be the name of the night. Please.
I saw one in a remote part of Germany
called Nils Jung.
brilliant
young pretenders!
beat that.
Look forward to it. Might be an idea to listen to some Neil Young first, the others have always been on at me to actually do this so now seems like as good a time as any!
bad.
Everybody Knows This Is Much Cheaper?
The old laughing payday
Homegrown
Rockin in the free world
Rockin in the free world
is the most obvious answer on earth isnt it? why didnt i think of that?
except
i dont think this is free.
nah
although I do like the idea of a poster saying ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD in massive letters, with "admission £5" underneath
And "meths is a total knobend"
underneath that.
and R GAY written
on with a black marker next to 'Neil Young'
:D
I'm going to attend the fuck out of this.
Harvest Night
I think I'm in Brighton
boo
Can you see a pier?
Then you MIGHT be in Brighton. I can't confirm it right now though.
can you confirm it
later? the pier?
There is no possible response to that
I just punched myself in the face
good
because if you hadn't, I would certainly would of.
*would HAVE
Is Brixton Windmill now 'the place to be'?
No, that's still Desmond's
The Windmill is just where we hang out between takes.

I'm going to one of the Hammersmith
Apollo gigs. Thanks.

You're still coming to this gig, though, right? As a warm-up, like.
Maybe,
as long as there's a landing pad for my gold helicopter.
They can just pile up some faberge eggs for you to crash land in
thewarn don't crash
The pub's got a flat roof.
Will that do you?
No.
I demand that it's replaced with a dodechahedron. I also want the bar to be manned by dodos. CAPICHE?
Maybe it is already a
dodechahedron? In which case I apologise.
I'm not gay with thewarn
COST IZ THE KILLER
:D
^
sounds like a good/fantastic idea
unless everyone does the same songs. i'll try to be there
I will be taking measures
to ensure that we have a variety of songs.
can you get radiohead to do a set please
?
I think it's unlikely
but I could open the night by playing a repeating loop of the bit of "Prove Yourself" which is a total nick from "Heart of Gold", if that's any help.
Neil; Sung!
*leaves*
Simple:
"Fuckin' Up: A Tribute to Neil Young."
I like Keep on Rockin in the Free World
because it is famous and I like the misleading nature of the title.
Or you could put Free in speech marks.
"Keep on Rocking in the "Free" World" thus being simultaneously more honest and also more questioning of the concept of this "free" world that we live in than Neil.
or
Rocking In The Free World?
oooh question mark.
the problem is the song title rocking in the free world was ironic anyway, so it just uber complicates the message.
I know
but that almost makes it better. It's slightly missing the point but also concurring with Neil at the same time. Or something
How about Rocking in the "Free" World?!(ooh)
