Chad Batka for The New York TimesNeil Young performed with Crazy Horse at the Barclay's Center on Monday.Neil Young is finishing up his first tour with Crazy Horse in eight years and has recently published an autobiography, “Waging Heavy Peace.†He's also developing Pono, a new digital music technology that, he claims, will make us truly understand how wretched MP3s sound.
On this week's Popcast, David Carr, Jon Pareles and Ben Ratliff talk about his live sound, his new album with Crazy Horse (“Psychedelic Pillâ€) his book, his sobriety, his paradoxical embrace of precision and mystery and his model-train barn. And we say goodbye to Dave Brubeck, one of jazz's great popular experimenters, who died on Wednesday at the age of 91.
