Music news Newly unearthed video: Neutral Milk Hotel live in 1998
Posted by Gabe Vodicka @gabevodicka on Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 2:45 PM
The folks over at Merge Records have released some great recordings over the years, almost none of which* have sold as many copies as the locally-brewed, universally-lauded Neutral Milk Hotel classic In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. To put a yummy little cherry on top of their recent 180-gram vinyl reissues of both of that band's albums (!), they recently posted two live videos of an exuberant Jeff Mangum tearing through two great NMH jams - Aeroplane's "Two-Headed Boy" and "April 8th" from the underrated On Avery Island. The video was apparently shot way back in 1998 during a show at NYC's famed Knitting Factory.
Alls I gotta say is what basically everyone has to say, which is where you at, Mangum?
*That shitty Arcade Fire album that everyone loved for a hot minute and then forgot about (thanks a lot for inundating a new generation of taste-challenged hipsters, Spike Jonze) has probably sold bajillions. And yes, it came out on Merge.
