Le Noise was the buzz on the Neil Young Facebook page over the weekend.  Without further explanation for the title, it could be it's a play on the album having been produced by Daniel Lanois (story).  The release, available in digital download, CD and vinyl on September 28, will also be out in Blu-Ray the following month.  A free iPad app that interfaces with the digital release and includes interactive album art will also follow.  Le Noise joins a slew of big name releases 9/28, including the Rock Hall Of Fame anniversary concerts and new projects from Eric Clapton, the Doobie Brothers, Ron Wood and Kenny Wayne Shepherd.  Keep up to speed on recent and upcoming releases and get Rock Insights reviews here.
Neil also offered some words of encouragement on his web site to the folks behind ThrashersWheat.org, a site that has been providing NY updates to fans for nearly 15 years.  Reacting to a post on the Thrasher's Wheat site lamenting a recent crop of negative comments, Neil expressed the hope that the negativity won't cause them to abandon TW, calling it '...the most respected site on the net' for artist specific updates.  We concur. Our regular visits to the hundreds of sites we use in compiling updates for Rock Insights have turned up no fan operated site that does a better job than ThrashersWheat.org.
