Just a reminder that the 33 1/3 book by Kim Cooper on this album is 100% worth reading. Usually when I write with a typewriter it's so Dada, you can't look at it. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts Thanks for mentioning it!Never tried a 33 1/3 book before (I know, I know...) but this has inspired me. They gave me a room to live in, and he's got all his books on Eastern religion and philosophy to look at, so it's a pretty cool experience.It's hard to say. Have you read any other 33 1/3 books that you'd recommend?Haven't heard of this series before and it looks so perfectly up my alley. The other songs we did after he got back from Chicago, we worked on them right before we went to make the record and then we worked on some of the stuff in the studio.Start with the drums. I fucking hate this album.
Whatever. Thanks in advance.
Cuz we got the band together up in New York City after ...Avery Island [NMH's first full length] came out, and then we toured for a while. For sure my favourite clickhole article.What a beautiful face / I have found in this place / That is circling all 'round the sun / And when we meet on a cloud / I'll be laughing out loud / I'll be laughing with everyone I see / Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at allI think it's one of Stephen Colbert's favourite lines as well.
Looks like it's going to be rice and beans for life.I recently picked up the 33 1/3 book about the band and Aeroplane specifically. I'm so amazed he can engulf himself in the record as we're making it, from basically two in the afternoon until three in the morning. And while I know people who have had In the Aeroplane Over the Sea impact their lives, I don’t know many who have listened to it consistently since the day it came out.
It's truly inspirational and gives a lot of context on how these songs came about and also Athens' thriving DIY scene in the 90s. Now when I listen to albums from 2008 I think “no fucking way is this 10 years old, that wasn’t that long ago!”.I agree to an extent, the focus on Anne Frank for a number of songs is the only aspect of the album that kind of rubs me the wrong way.I told my girlfriend the album recently turned 20, she was astonished. Shortly before recording On Avery Island, Jeff Mangum read The Diary of Anne Frank for the first time and it affected him so deeply that he was inspired to write the band's followup album, In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, about her. Preferably seeking it in 24 bit, don't know if it exists. It’s the kind of record you put away for a while but, if you’re lucky, it’s still there when you need it.Completely agree with this sentiment. I agree to an extent, the focus on Anne Frank for a number of songs is the only aspect of the album that kind of rubs me the wrong way.What strikes me most about this album is its timelessness. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcutsCookies help us deliver our Services. In The Aeroplane Over The Sea was released in 1998 and though the album received mixed reception upon its release, it has since become a cult classic and indie music … My friend, who listened to it for the first time with me, didn't realize it was from the 90s for like 3 years!The ambiguity and lack of specificity makes it easier and more universal to connect with IMO. He's talked about it a few times. "Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all" is such a powerful line.One of my favourite songs. He'd say, "I love you, I love you, I love you," kiss me on the head, go "wake up, coffee is downstairs, see you in the studio in two hours." (even tho it was #4 on their best albums of the 90's list)Yes it is and I greatly disagree with the premise of this article and thought for it to only be #4 on the best albums of 1998 list laughable but to each their ownThey originally gave it a pretty "ok" review in 1998. What's your unpopular opinion(s) in music? is this article a subtle apology for putting it at #4 on their best albums of 1998 list? Different pieces will cram into each other. Sometimes I'll play him songs I'm not so sure about. So it's just really great.
It's an amazing record, but not one I find myself revisiting often. I'll post a snippet of it here. Sort of like their Discovery review.In November 1998, at the end of the Neutral Milk tour, Jeff did an interview with Tape Op magazine in Portland.
It only later upgraded to a 10.0 years later. Mangum's voice and the arrangements just connect to personal pain.Most people I know who've listened to it like the record, although I have found a few who are turned off by the Jesus Christ song.I love this album so much, but Gardenhead is my favorite NMH song.I also love this album for turning me on to the Music Tapes.I first heard this album back in 2003 when I was a teen, and thinking at the time “man, I can’t believe this came out in 1998...that was so long ago!”.
