Favorite NMH Song: Two Headed Boy Pt. 2
Shows Seen: I'm here, your not. Go figure? I don't understand obviously.
I also like soft beds and hard liquor. I'm not a hippie.
I think Jeff Mangum is a rare breed of songwriter that is sorely missed by people
who enjoy honest depth to thier music and not an attempt to be tragic.
Best Records of Last Three Years: I See a Darkness, Bonnie Prince Billy.
Jeff Mangum, Live at Jittery Joes. Hum,Elekra 2000. Belle & Sebastian, If
Your Feeling Sinister. My Bloody Valentine, Mineral. End Serenadind, Nick Drake.
Nirvana Unplugged. Johnny Cash. Fugazi all albums. Nick Cave, No more Shall
We Part. The Cure, Disentigration. Macha, See it Another Way. Jeff Buckley,Grace.

Other Comments: I'm currently overseas and unable to purchase or explore
new music channels other than the internet. I cannot get MP3s or share files
due to my location.I have read about other similar bands and trying to get music
from John Vaderslice "Death of an American Fourtracker". I am always
willing to try new music and exchange opinions. Please refer me to anything
that has moved you in a similar fashion as Jeff Mangum has. I like Dreamers
and depression but not whinning

Best Records of Last Three Years: It was only three years ago that
i started buying "secular" records (christian upbringing, just got

But my favorite albums that i have bought so far are: Kid A by Radiohead; Diary
by Sunny Day Real Estate; In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by NMH; Elliot Smith's
self titled; Automatic for the People and Murmur by REM...
Site Suggestions: It would be interesting if you had a section where
fans could ponder about the meanings of NMH's songs... Or discuss the songs
in general. [I wouldn't want to split that sort of stuff

Other Comments: i saw the apples in stereo about a month ago and after
they were done i felt the need to stick around and talk to rob the lead singer,
who was possibly the nicest man i've ever met. i mostly wanted to talk to him
because he produced what is probably my favorite album of all time, in the aeroplane
over the sea by neutral milk hotel, and thank him for it, and compliment him
on the amazing production that this masterpiece of an album has. he and his
wife (who drums for apples) also played in the band itself for a while. he was
so happy to hear about it, and told me about what jeff mangum has been up to
cause i was really dying to know; currently living in brooklyn, moving to canada,
starting a "secret band" with rob himself. he said "it's really
wierd hearing him play such sentimental beautiful music cause he's a really
a shy, innocent guy who i've been best friends with since high school."
they guy could not stop smiling. neither could i. when i told him i was in a
traditional ska/reggae band that had been playing upstairs in the venue earlier
that night he said he loved 60's jamaican music and that his 2 year old son
really enjoyed dancing to an old ska tune called "jonah the master."
i was psyched. before i left i felt compelled to ask him what the future of
nmh looked like and he said that even "though they haven't played in about
5 years, jeff is just taking some time off to do things for himself, but it
looks like they will be playing out again at one point or another." this
made my night. i know i cannot die a truly happy person unless this happens
and i'm there. i promised myself i would stop everything and take a bus or fly
to this show whenever/wherever it occurs.
