A Needle That Sings In Her Heart, the musical based on Neutral Milk Hotel’s In The Aeroplane Over The Sea that was written by shape-shifting singer Amanda Palmer with the students of her former high school in Massachusetts (most of whom had never heard the record before embarking on this dramatic adventure), premiered last night. If you’re not in the Northeast and curious as to what might result from this stew, the Internet provides: The play will be broadcast live on Palmer’s Webcam channel tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m. ET. Hooray, now NMH multi-instrumentalist Julian Koster doesn’t have to be sad about living in Athens! [Party On The Internet via On The Download]

Given I’m currently in a major LPD phase this was my favorite bit:
