Hi there. Been a while.

But I just had to.

From Pitchfork: Elephant 6 Crew to Embark on "Holiday Surprise Tour"

Pretty cool. Like it says there's no guarantee Jeff Mangum will be there. But, I mean, the guy hasn't done jack shit in like 8 years....he's gotta be bored just sitting around his house all day.

He is in this though. A short film that also includes Kevin Barnes from of Montreal. I'm sure all you die-hard Elephant 6 fans will remember this as the short film that's been "in the works" for about 10 years now.

Tour dates:

10-09 Chapel Hill, NC - Local 506
10-11 New York, NY - Knitting Factory
10-12 Boston, MA - The Church
10-14 Portland, ME - Space Gallery
10-15 New Haven, CT - The Space
10-16 Purchase, NY - SUNY Purchase
10-17 Rochester, NY- The Bug Jar
10-18 Pittsburgh, PA - Brillobox
10-19 Columbus, OH - Wexner Center
10-20 Pontiac, MI - Crofoot Pike Room
10-21 Chicago, IL - Bottom Lounge
10-22 Bloomington, IN - Cinemat
10-23 Lexington, KY - University of Kentucky

Other news, Blitzen Trapper recently did a Daytrotter session, and there are a couple of pretty good tracks up. It's their third time. Here.

Also, That Lucky Old Sun is out today. Everybody go give Brian Wilson your money.

For your pleasure, one of the most entertaining Neutral Milk Hotel songs. Dig it.
