— What is it: A primer on Neil Young complete with a number of free mp3s and videos.

Where is it: The Onion's A.V. Club, www.avclub.com.

Comments: Since Young has a new album out, Chrome Dreams II, The Onion's A.V. Club has decided that the time has come to put together a very helpful primer on the indefatigable Canadian rocker. The guide is bright yet informative and loaded with free songs from every part of Young's long and storied career. The writer is wrong to include Harvest Moon over Freedom or Rust Never Sleeps as one of Young's five essential albums. But the arguments that it spawns is the great fun of this retrospective.
