O.K. I just finished about a half an hours research about the history of this band and on to why I've never heard of this band playing live. I just picked up their first ep and their first full length album and it reawoke my passion for the neutral milk hotels brilliant music.
Well if anyone cares this is what i found out... jeff Magnum the head honcho behind NMH has sort of turned his back on the music world. he stated he wants to walk a different path for awhile and has done so for the past 3 years. The only thing he has recorded since the amazing aeroplane over the sea album was a live cd under his name Jeff Magnum (Which I am ordering as soon as possible) and a bulgarian folk festival cd he made a short time ago after falling in love with bulgarian folk music. Well he pulled a leanord cohen on me dissapearing and washing away any hope that I might have had to catch him live but I respect the man for it. Neutral milk hotel was met with wordly acclaim and he just walked away from it. Well I thought I would just post the info I found out about this elusive band.. I know a few schmoes have been getting into them recently. Oh and On avery island while not being as good as Aeroplane over the sea is still fucking awesome. The Ep Everything is... is good too but alot more rough cut.
