Neutral Milk Hotel’s Jeff Mangum Gets Together With His Old Pals
Mon Oct 13 2008 by Maura
While I was on a Brooklyn pier watching aerialists and Franz Ferdinand and the beginning of Indie Rock Celebrity Bumpwatching 2008 (sigh) on Saturday night, New York’s Knitting Factory was playing host to the Holiday Surprise tour, on which various members of the Elephant 6 collective–including Julian Koster of the Music Tapes/Chocolate USA, Will Hart and Eric Harris of Olivia Tremor Control, and Scott Spillane of seemingly every Elephant 6 band’s brass section (as well as the Gerbils)–performed the songs that made me wear down many a CD back in the day. And wouldn’t you know it, Jeff Mangum, of Neutral Milk Hotel and an increasingly large legend thanks to the now 10-years-old In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, also showed up to lend his voice to a few of the evening’s performances: The opening track to the Olivia Tremor Control’s Dusk At Cubist Castle, “The Opera House,” is above, and after the jump, a clip of the evening’s performance of “I Have Been Floated.”

I think we’ve made enough jokes about the many broken-up bands of yesteryear reuniting just in time to grab their last bit of pre-global-crash money for you to anticipate the punchline even before I get to the end of this sentence.

The Neutral Milk Hotel “Reunion”: Is April Fool’s Day Coming A Little Early?
Fri Mar 30 2007 by Maura
Look, we know that April Fool’s Day falling on a Sunday is throwing off a lot of Internet pranksters’ schedules, but come on–are we really supposed to believe that the folks at Tiny Mix Tapes don’t know how to embed an MP3 player in their site? More »

Over the weekend, we found the Yo Yo A Go Go compilation in a local bargain bin; it’s a double-disc set of performances from the 1994 Yoyo A Go Go Festival in Olympia, Wash., and it has live tracks from the likes of Beck, the Halo Benders, Heavens To Betsy, and Versus. (Not bad for $3.99.) More »
