Bookstore Rap by Neil Young
Sugar Mountain Live at Canterbury House (1968) is the first Neil Young album in my iTunes, so I listen to it quite a bit—and it’s really an amazing chillout hour. It’s basically Neil chatting to the audience between songs, and it gives a really candid (audio) look at his character while still early in his career.
This track starts off slow, but the story by the end is pretty funny, I think. You can download the full album here.

My sister showed me this the other week and I thought it was absolutely fantastic. Really damn entertaining—most of the time in an over-the-top-laugh-out-loud kinda way—and actually great writing, acting and filmmaking all around. You can download it here. And you can thank me later. (Especially if you like 60s music and laughing like you’re watching Hot Fuzz.)
Awesome short film composed of shots of Montreal in the 60’s (i.e. Expo ‘67-era): people, cars, architecture, lights, shapes, and so on. All set to a Pink Floyd track. Very groovy.
