The drum sets across avery’s island and Aeroplane go HARD. That is all

I feel as though many people are quick to label any reference to a girl/woman in ITAOTS as Anne; however, I find it hard to believe. In fact, I would argue that Jeff is describing a partner from his past: someone who gave him physical pleasure (an immensely unfortunate character when you dive into the "father made fetuses" section), and I would even go so far as to say it is someone who loved him (not the other way around). While, yes, the third verse is obviously about Anne, I would say that all of these anecdotes tie into regrets involving jealously ("he's only my enemy, I'll crush him with everything I own"), love, lust, and longing. Beautiful piece of music.

Hi I’m writing about the history of the band for a school project and would really appreciate any knowledge on the formation of the band? Thank you!

He must know he’s successful because the cult status of aeroplane led to his mental problems, but what do you think his actual opinion of the legacy of NMH is

It's called "Strange Attractor at the End of the World," and it's based on my interpretation of "I Will Bury You in Time."

Most of this story is behind a paywall, but if you message me directly, I'll give you a free pass so you can read it (and some other stuff, if you like).

There’s a lot of good sounding live recordings out there but I’d love to have a few official live albums on Spotify. He should release more than one. I’m sure they have plenty of DAT recordings.

I took weed for the first time and for a while didn't really feel anything. I tried listening to some music like Radiohead and Queens of the stone age but I wasn't feeling anything. I decided to just go to sleep and try again another time but I couldn't sleep. I know weed is supposed to help you sleep but it didn't work for me. I got super sweaty and hot, and I could barely think straight. I usually listen to ITAOTS every night to sleep, so I decided to do the same tonight. I was drifting in and out of a horrible, sweaty sleep, but ITAOTS just felt so conforting. I felt scared, but also relaxed at the same time. Mangum's voice felt like a friend as I saw weird shapes in my vision. It was a really good experience, and ITAOTS now holds a very special place in my heart. It felt great. If I ever do weed again, I have this album to thank for making me feel safe about it.

When i first heard the ITAOTS song, i tried so long to find it by searching any Irish band i could find (stupid, yes, but i had only heard a small amount of the song). Somehow, even as a Brit, i was convinced his wailing voice and accent had a semblance of Irish.

Obviously Jeff isnt Irish, but that interview with Peter Curran, 1998, he sounded weirdly Irish in some parts. My question to any etymology nerds or people with any knowledge of this is, does the Southern American accent resemble Irish in any way or is it just me?

hey guys

i saw Jeff on 2/4/12 at first Ave in Minneapolis at the state theatre when I was like 15. I really enjoyed his opener and it’s occurring to me 12 years later to try to find them. Anybody know how I can find this info? I’ve done some searching and I figured I’d just throw the net out to see if anyone else remembers or has a ticket or anything from that tour/day.

Was anyone else there? Anybody got their old ticket from 2012 that can maybe tell me who the opener was in the Midwest or Minneapolis specifically? Thanks friends :)

Is it artificial of real on amazon? My birth is coming soon so i wanna buy a box set as my Bday gift. And I heard records quality is bad, is it actually bad?Im a little worry. and btw i dont have vinyl displayer so I buy it just for love.

It’s insane how every song has an incredible breathtaking melody

I understand Jeff’s vocals on that song can be quite awkward for a first time listener, but damn, only 2 songs and he gave up. I guess Neutral Milk Hotel ain’t for everyone.

I envy other bands fans they have so many information about the band but NMH doesnt have a lot
