That Neutral Milk Hotel comparison keeps getting used, and is pretty inaccurate

If you need a character reference, I'm willing to lie for you. :D ;)

Is there reason to believe you won't be in America?

Originally posted by jadetree:That Neutral Milk Hotel comparison keeps getting used, and is pretty inaccurate [/QB] Agreed,the day they write something as spectacular as In the Aeroplane over the Sea,please let me know.IMHO that is.Jeff Mangum was a great songwriter,tis a shame he's no longer putting any material out.

Seriously, I'll give you about three more months before you start gushing about Neutral Milk Hotel.

I wouldn't call Neutral Milk Hotel obscure. I'm quite certain they could pack the Black Cat and get a decent crowd over at the 930 if Mangum decided to get things going again.

Myself, I'm very neutral about Neutral Milk Hotel.
I dunno, I saw NMH open for Superchunk at the Cat in 1998?, and the place wasn't packed. Have they grown that much in popularity since breaking up.
I didn't care for them very much, but thought they were better than Superchunk, who blew.

How does NMH compare to APPLES IN STEREO?

They share members, I believe. What Apples albums do you know?
FYI: AIS was originally called "The Apples" but they wanted to avoid legal hassellhoffs from apple recordes, so they changed it.

Originally posted by †‡€ Ã?ømþæÿ Ér§:Actually, Rob Schnieder and Jeff Mangum moved from GA. to Denver together where Robert started AIS,Jeff did not play with them to my knowledge.NMH was Jeff's solo effort.He did incorporate a few musicians when playing live,don't think Rob was involved though.I think it was a few mewmbers from Olivia Tremor Control that joined him.It's been awhile since I was into the whole Elephant 6 thing so my memory could be a little fuzzy,but that's it in a nutshell as far as I can remember.As for comparing the 2,it's like comparing apples to oranges ;)
