I love taking advantage of the fact that every Neutral Milk Hotel fan is secretly waiting for a new NMH album, even though each one of 'em knows that Jeff Mangum is as reclusive as a Sasquatch and that hoping for a new long-player from these particular Elephant Sixers is as futile as hoping for the Second Coming. However, despite that futility, and, if you're like me, you pacify your desire for...

It's hard being a hipster these days. With your favorite scene being crushed and co-opted by capitalism, it's hard not to feel vain and vapid. It's even harder to deny that you've become increasingly shallow towards others in an attempt to maintain individuality by postmodernizing your existence to oblivion. But does that necessarily make you a bad person? No! You can still do good, especially ...
Julian Koster has recruited his former bandmates to appeal to their fans to help preserve an 81-year-old "whirling contraption of mechanical music and light."
NPR Music has a piece about the high school theatre group in Massachusetts that has collaborated with Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls on writing a play inspired by Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea: The...

I don't know much about them, so if anyone knows more stuff, please tell! i'd love to know. here's communist daughter
My sister-in-law was telling me a story about a disastorous Christmas Dinner in which a mentally unstable friends father came to dinner and made a scene after a few too many drinks. Mostly it sounded like her family sat there in awkward silence as this guy tried to engage people with this statement. They obviously possesed the restraint and logic that I wouldn't have had to engauge in a conver...
Alright. Here begins the start of something new- a MOG. All of you other members of this deal should feel very special because I do not have blogs such as MySpace or Xanga and have chosen to become a member of this one. I've titled this entry, Never Enough Time because of the lack of time that I have noticed in my world. I have had so little time that I realized that I had not listened to music...
Just got done reading a post by Lyla, http://mog.com/blog_post/view/42369, regarding the band Neutral Milk Hotel. She commented that not a lot of people have talked about this band and after thinking about it, I agree with her. So, while she is stuck at work, I am going to kick some knowledge about this band.With only two full albums out, they have gained sort of a cult following. Bands like Fr...

Last week, we wrote a li'l report about Jeff Mangum possibly joining the E6 Holiday Surprise Tour for a couple shows (TMT News). Well, the possibility turned into reality earlier than expected at last night's Knitting Factory gig in New York, as Jeff Mangum unexpectedly hopped on stage and performed three songs — "The Arrow Flies Close" by Elf Power and both "The Opera House" and "I Have Been F.

I'm going to Nice, France tomorrow (with YellowBird) and being on a plane is one of my favourite places to listen to music, especially during take-off. Thankfully I can hide the earphones with my hair so the air stewards don't see and make me turn it off :)We usually listen to the same album on our own ipods when we fly, sorta synchronised, and we usually choose a new release which we haven't h...
