  • All One Song :: Jesse Jarnow on "Sedan Delivery"

    All One Song :: Jesse Jarnow on "Sedan Delivery"
    Aug 13 2025
    This week’s All One Song guest is the definition of a multi-hyphenate — your friend and ours, Jesse Jarnow. Jesse is an incredible writer, having penned such essential books as Big Day Coming: Yo La Tengo and the Rise of Indie Rock, Heads: A Biography of Psychedelic America, Wasn’t That a Time: The Weavers, the Blacklist, and the Battle for the American Soul, and the forthcoming epic, The Invisible Hit Parade: A People’s History of Recorded Music. You’re probably going to recognize Jesse’s voice. He’s a longtime DJ over at WFMU, the world’s greatest free-form independent radio station, hosting the Frow Show every Tuesday night, bringing strange and wonderful sounds to the masses. He’s also a podcaster, writing and co-producing the amazing Good Ol’ Grateful Deadcast, which recently kicked off its 12th season. The Deadcast’s depth of research, insight and sweet vibes puts pretty much every other podcast to shame—including this one. Finally, Jesse is one-third of Sloppy Heads, a long-running Brooklyn-based band with two excellent albums, Useless Smile and Sometimes Just One Second under their belt. Now that we’ve gotten Jesse’s bona fides out of the way … which Neil Young song did he select to talk about with us on All One Song? Well, Jesse dug way down in the rust bucket for “Sedan Delivery,” a raucous number that first appeared on the classic 1979 Crazy Horse LP Rust Never Sleeps. “Sedan Delivery”’s history stretches back several years, though — Neil and the Horse first tried it out during the Zuma sessions in 1975, giving it a somewhat lumbering lope. You can hear that version these days on Chrome Dreams. But with the subsequent dawning of punk, Neil and the crew injected this weird, semi-sci-fi with a dose of pure, demonic energy. Though it was hard to find in setlists for a little while there, by the mid-'90s, it became a mainstay in Crazy Horse’s live repertoire, giving the band a chance to gleefully drive 90 miles an hour down a dead-end street.

  • All One Song :: Rosali on "I Don't Want To Talk About It"

    All One Song :: Rosali on "I Don't Want To Talk About It"
    Aug 6 2025
    Welcome back to All One Song, a Neil Young podcast presented by Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions. This week is going to be slightly different. This week, we’re talking about a song that was not written by Neil Young. Nevertheless, it’s a song that is very much a part of the Shakey multiverse: Danny Whitten’s “I Don’t Want To Talk About It,” which appeared on Crazy Horse’s debut LP in 1970. Danny Whitten, of course, was one of Neil’s key collaborators and musical soul mates before his untimely death in late 1972. A little while later that decade, Rod Stewart took “I Don’t Want To Talk About It” to the top of the charts. But it’s Whitten’s version that remains definitive. Here to guide us through the impossibly lonesome landscapes of “I Don’t Want To Talk About It” is singer-songwriter Rosali Middleman—or just Rosali if you prefer. She’s been a longtime fixture over at Aquarium Drunkard. But even though we've loved pretty much everything she’s done, she somehow seems to get better with each new album. Her latest release, Bite Down on Merge Records, may well be her best effort yet. And that’s saying something! It’s packed with exceptionally well-crafted songs that feel as if you’ve known them your whole life. An instant classic, as they say. Bite Down is Rosali’s second album with the Omaha-based Mowed Sound, which features David Nance, James Schroeder and Kevin Donahue. As we speak here in August 2025, Rosali and Mowed Sound are touring the USA, and I strongly encourage you to go see them. They’re a terrific live act … and there are definitely plenty of Crazy Horse vibes, as we discuss.

  • All One Song :: Ilyas Ahmed on "Arc"

    All One Song :: Ilyas Ahmed on "Arc"
    Jul 30 2025
    Welcome back to All One Song: A Neil Young Podcast. We’re spending the summer talking to some great musicians and writers about their one favorite Neil Young song. Or at least one of their favorite songs. Last week, our guest was Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth — and of course, the conversation went deep into Steve’s memories of Sonic Youth’s tour with Neil and Crazy Horse in 1991, when both bands were bringing incredible waves of feedback to the masses across North America. An exciting time! For Neil, the tour resulted in a fairly traditional live album, the classic double-disc Weld. But that wasn’t all. Inspired partly by what he heard Sonic Youth doing, Young also put together Arc, one of — if not the — most avant-garde pieces of music Young has ever created. Basically, it’s a 35-minute noise collage consisting of the elongated and improvised endings of various songs that he and the Horse played in early 91. It’s the sound of amplifiers pushed to their limits, of things falling apart in ragged, glorious fashion. It’s an expressway to yr skull, as Sonic Youth put it. Here this week to examine the mysteries and magic of Arc is Ilyas Ahmed. The Portland, OR-based musician has been making consistently fascinating music for well over two decades now, whether all on his own or in close collaboration with fellow travelers like Grouper, Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, Golden Retriever, Dania Shihab and many more. He also serves as guitarist in Grails, an awesomely uncategorizable collective that just put out one of the 2025’s best records — the appropriately named Miracle Music. No matter what Ilyas does, it’s always infused with a sense of curiosity, adventure and imagination. Our conversation about Arc goes in a bunch of different directions — it’s a rich text, as the academics like to say.
