"In The Aeroplane Over The Sea" is one of my top 10 albums, no doubt about it. I don't know why, but it consistently has the ability to make me happy, no matter how sour my mood is.

I fucking love Jeff Mangum, so my question is where the hell is he? I know he had a "mental breakdown" after the Aeroplane tour concluded, but it's been a good 7 years since then. Where is the man who has put a smile on my face many times, the man who hoped to make music with healing power and suceeded admirably? I feel like he needs a hug.

Can't find any recent news on him, except for the fact that he was spotted at a Marbles gig in Brooklyn this past March.

Someone hook up an address, phone number, something.

Although, from this article, it seems that he just wishes to be left alone. I wish he'd just put out something: a record, a website, a sign of life.

ohhhh comely

I love the lyrics to that song. I'm sure my brother hates it, since I play it for hours at a time.

holand 1945 is pretty good

The whole album is amazing. I'm currently digging Two Headed Boy Pt. 2.. so somber, yet so good.

I went to their website a while ago, and from what I can remember it said he was writing a book of short stories. And he was working with a circus or something

Damn it Jeff, fuck the elephants, make another album!

Yeah, that page hasn't been updated since the 90's or something. I'm surprised they've kept it up this long.

I think he's got serious emotional issues, and I tend to believe he really hated becoming a "celebrity."

Dude, his name is Jeff Mangum. I don't remember him starring in any shows with Tom Selleck, for chrissakes.

Well, that explains why my google searches yielded very little. Yay for pseudo-dyslexia. Magnum is a much cooler name, though.

my friend emailed him in the 90s about the Anne Franke references.....Jeff replied! it was something like "hmmm interesting find...- your pal Jeff"

Picked up tickets to see him in Asheville on Feb 2.
Squeeeeee

going with my buddy who saw neutral milk in athens when he was in college there. He turned me onto them when we met in the early 2000's so really looking forward to this.

my love for 'in the aeroplane over the sea' knows no bounds

I should check it out?

hell yes

It's certainly better than that hip hop rubbish you so frequently try to push on me, Al.

Jeff Mangum live was kind of a religious experience, for me.

A genuine Alex post? huh.

Two consecutive posts, no less.

He didn't pick up on your joke, however.

the world just screams and falls apart
