Song Review: Molina, Talbot, Lofgren & Young (Billy Talbot) - “Rain”

After 50 years of playing with Neil Young, Crazy Horse bassist Billy Talbot probably can’t help but sound like the barn’s head honcho.

Talbot’s “Rain” is one of his three tracks on All Roads Lead Home, the forthcoming album credited to Molina, Talbot, Lofgren & Young that finds each Crazy Horse musician offering solo cuts. Musically, it’s a mix of Young’s folksy and mellow-rock sides; the words simplistic like Young’s 21st-century work.

The bassist’s voice is creaky and hoarse. But his track echoes his boss as he sings:

The rain keeps pouring down/rain on my head/rain with a deafening sound/I don’t know what it means/maybe it’s my dream

One of three Talbot offerings, “Rain” follows Nils Lofgren’s “You Will Never Know” ahead of All Roads Lead Home’s March 31 arrival.

Posting something a bit outside of my usual content, but I'm in need of some help. About two months ago, we had to take our dog, Oreo, to the vet due to her having pretty severe heartworm problems. We have managed to afford most of her treatment and medications, but her last appointment is coming up on May 9th.

In addition to that, my dearest cat, Cana, had to be rushed to the ER late last night with pretty severe dehydration and weight loss due to not really eating despite an appetite stimulant and support. We were informed this evening that she has pretty late stage kidney disease and her kidneys have lost a lot of function. She's my baby, I've had her since I was 16 and I'm almost 26. The vet says that with the right support and depending on how much she wants to fight or how long we can medically support her before she starts suffering, she has anywhere from a couple more months to a couple more years. I'm not ready to let her go, and she's clearly not ready to give up, according to the vet. So please, donate if you can, or reblog this post so that more people can see it.

Do Sandy and Kana exist in this universe? If so, were their basis changed so as to keep faithful to the series' British roots? (for example, Sandy being changed from a Motorcar/Rail Speeder into a BR Class 15)

Hi, Sandy and Kana do exist in my au. Sandy is a fairmont mt14 rail speeder/inspection trolley built by the current CME at Crovan’s Gate Dr. Ruth Bell who has also built Philip and Cleo, thus becoming siblings like and best friends. She is currently owned by the works though Sandy loften shunt at the big stations but usually is seen doing track repairs and maintenance on all of the others as well alongside the works gang/crew with her ability to switch her tools.

Sandy also acts as Ruth’s main personal inspection trolley since Cleo isn’t that use to the busy railway life. Also fun fact, both Sandy and Cleo can switch their gauges from miniature-narrow-standard (though this might change for Cleo) sandy especially to help out with maintenance on all the railways (except the cfr though knowing how much spunk and a bit of a daredevil Sandy is, that’s probably for the best.)

Kana on the other hand, works on the Peel Godred Branchline alongside her twin Akira, Riff and Jiff (who’s names are changed) Stafford and a bunch of ocs having been introduced during my take of the International Railway Show Competition in the 90s-early 2000s. Kana and Akira are high speed electric engines (they are either Class 951 Shinkansen built in the 1970s or my take of the BR Class 93 (InterCity 250) billy by Hitachi Rail (so they’re a A-train). that works on the Peel Godred Branch Line extension from Peel Godred to Barrow-In-Furness. They’re both very good friends with the CFR engines.

Once Ruth attempted to make them and some of the other electric engines independent from electricity albeit via power charging stations hence to why Kana tries to go about the island more while the other were content being in one place, mainly to the earl’s estate railway despite her battery draining quicker though they have charging stations in the museums since she’s rechargeable like Stafford as Ruth helped install it at Crovan’s Gate Works, there’s also charging stations at both Ulfstead, Vicarstown and of course Peel Godred itself.

thank you for the ask 👋😊😊

Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer (PC/SD)

A birthday gift from good friend Evan

Slayers X is a treat; it's a pretty decent boomer shooter straddling the line between Duke Nukem 3D (recreations of a lot of the DN3D era Build Engine terrain and workings on display) and Blood (the 3DCG movies, and also the enemies with their Halloween horror/demon cultist stuff trend here), sometimes to the point of being a git; the second-to-last level is a platforming nightmare, and the final level is hastily done.

But, that's also the joke.

Slayers X on a meta level is an ascended mod of a fictional 90s shooter called Kataklysm, built out of its bones primarily on the direction of Zane Loften, an uncannily accurate 90s 'attitude' era edgelord now a grown man who either never entirely grew out of it or is desperately holding onto it. He's borderline illiterate, he didn't get the subtext of the Matrix, and is a fascinating mix of the Nu-Metal blood-and-gore edgelord and the "disgusting things are cool and being gross is good" kind of softer edgy teenage boy (that was a whole thing for a while when I was growing up, lots of toys aimed at being "gross" and disgusting, based around snot and shit and sewers - faeces are a constant presence and Zane's secret base is the "Steel Sewer", even).

It's a layer that makes the game fucking hilarious, and the bit is committed to thoroughly; the bonus levels include a huge level abandoned because ambition outstretched resources and a recreation of a relative's house (ROT13: vg'f Tebireunhf), the go-to of amateur Doom WAD makers in the days of yore. Some of Zane's lines, hidden messages from his beleaguered friend he badgered into helping and more all sell it so well; it's a big long joke about 90s kids, amateur modders and also just amateur artists in general (the last levels of the game are super short and less intricate and the final boss explicitly sucks because the programmer got fed up and likely everyone ran out of enthusiasm).

I'm told this is an offshoot/spinoff/derived from a part of Hypnospace Outlaw, which I'll have to get around to at some point.

The Letter

(part 2)

I believe that I am so deeply unlovable, that my very core and my very being is so wrong, that I deserved and continue to deserve every terrible thing that has been bestowed upon me. I'm sure some of this is due to some genetic bullshit and my chronic existentialism, but if we're being brutally honest, you played a huge part in perpetuating that.

Why?

loften wonder what I could have done to you, to our family, to cause you to abuse me like you did. But part of me knows that I am once again blaming myself for a terrible thing that honestly had nothing to do with me.

After all, what could an infant, a toddler, or a child, honestly do to their father to deserve all this punishment? Punishment that continues to torture me long after you killed yourself.

Song Review: Molina, Talbot, Lofgren & Young (Nils Lofgren) - “You Will Never Know”

A Nils Lofgren solo piece titled “You Will Never Know” announces a various-artists LP credited to Molina, Talbot, Lofgren & Young that is not a Crazy Horse album.

It’s not even a band album; more like three EPs and a single.

“Three dear, old friends and bandmates for over 50 years … kept writing and recording songs in their homes during the ongoing pandemic and are proud to share this collection of their music,” per a statement accompanying the lead track from All Roads Lead Home.

“You Will Never Know” is a ballad heavy on Lofgren’s slide guitar and piano that finds the narrator gently telling his lover’s ex to piss off.

You will never know/how quick she forgot you/you will never know/how well she does without you, Lofgren sings on the chorus.

Out March 31, All Roads Lead Home finds each Crazy Horse member offering three cuts while Neil Young tosses in a live, solo version of “Song of the Seasons,” which originally appeared on 2021’s Barn.

Ralph Molina and Billy Talbot are Crazy Horse’s rhythm section.
