Third listen and this feels like an old friend. I'm still not up on song titles so I'll go through it properly later.

Only one person may play the saw, and that is Joss with Joan of Arse that one time when they supported A Silver Mt Zion.
Neutral Milk Hotel
In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
(Merge)
Rating: 8.7
As good indie pop acts grow fewer and further between, the
driving force of the underground is growing decidedly noisy and abstract. But while fab acts like Gastr Del Sol, Flying Saucer Attack and Tortoise continue to pulverize traditional song structure, there's one psych- rock band making music that's just as catchy as it is frightening.
From the opening "King of Carrot Flowers," In The Aeroplane Over The Sea shifts from acoustic folkiness to loud, fast punk rock with little or no warning. It features a noisy horn section and a dreamy singin' saw, all rolled into a package that does a credible job of blending Sgt. Pepper with early '90s lo-fi.
Neutral Milk Hotel frontman Jeff Magnum writes songs that read like bad dreams. He inherits a world of cannibalism, elastic sexuality and freaks of nature. We can only assume he
likes it there.

I had no idea where that was going to go when I started it.Holy Shit Scutter, that's how its done!

This bullying campaign is cos I cancelled on Thumped Christmas pints, isn’t it?It was an ironic dislike. Me and Bernie are best m8s.
anyway, you're a divil for revenge dislikes at the best of times yourself.
Same here; that was a great gig. Sorry now I didn't think to recommend Van Occupanther as an Album Club choice!and I was at that Midlake gig cos I was TOTALLY obsessed with Van Occupanther too!
