Neil Young Embraces Blogging, Streaming

News on Neil Young's upcoming protest album, Living With War, hit the Internet at a rate of approximately 100mph over the weekend. With a Living With War blog to track details on the release, a bare-bones official website to run lyrics, and a load of reporters on their toes, Young certainly has the Reprise Records new media department working overtime.

The tracklist features the previously reported "Living with War" and "Let's Impeach the President", as well as eight other not surprisingly titled songs.

For your eyes, restless consumers:

01 After the Garden
02 Living With War
03 The Restless Consumer
04 Shock and Awe
05 Families
06 Flags of Freedom
07 Let's Impeach the President
08 Lookin' for a Leader
09 Roger and Out
10 America the Beautiful

Living With War will be posted on Young's website for free streaming starting April 28 (that's this Friday, folks). The record will then be made commercially available for digital download on May 2, and is slated to be well-stocked at yr local record store shortly afterwards.

Oh and this just in! According to Billboard.com, Young will join David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash on the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young "Freedom of Speech" tour this summer. Smart planning, guys: hit the kiddies with the free music and the blog, and the old folks with the expensive concert tickets. Got your demographics covered.
