Who's seen one of the new Neutral Milk Hotel shows? How was it? Also, was the first show that got announced in terms of the reunion the Mountain Oasis show? I think that's right but I can't remember.

IIRC, the Mountain Oasis show was one show in the first group of shows announced, along with a couple of dates in Athens leading up to MOEMS and a few afterwards.
All reports of the reunion shows have been glowing. (See: .)
Saw NMH last night and they did NOT disappoint! Jeff kept the chatter to a minimum, but it seemed like a short set. They played for exactly one hour before coming back for an encore. Not sure what they ended with as I left early (yeah, I know, revoke my hipster card!) to get home for the last inning of the Sox game. Even though the crowd was full of YOUNG hipsters (WTF? the venue required all under 18 to be escorted by a parent; how many of these kids had even been born when On Avery Island came out?), nearly everyone sang along, at times nearly drowning out Jeff's vocals. Scott's horns sounded fantastic; can't say I enjoyed the opener (Elf Power) as much since most of their songs sounded painfully similar and lacked any discernible dynamics.
While I was never a *huge* diehard NMH fan (always appreciated Jeff's songwriting but didn't play their albums religiously as w/other bands), what struck me most during the show is how influential NMH has been on so many other groups, esp. The Decemberists. I would have a total nerdgasm if Mangum & Meloy ever teamed up for a project!
There was no tour-specific merch, so the 2 posters (cool designs; $25/ea; they look like they're possibly done by Status Serigraph but I can't tell as they're not numbered) have no tour dates. As expected, TONS of vinyl for sale as well as several shirts. Everyone who's been lucky enough to get tickets for this tour (including MOEMS & the 3-night run in Athens + 2 nights in ATL) is in for a treat.

Screamo? Are you listening to the right band? They are a beautiful combination of Folk Rock and Lo-fi. Their album In the Aeroplane Over the Sea has the most impassioned lyrics I've ever heard, you should really give them a listen

I still have never listened to them so let me be more specific the name doe snot do it for me and I refuse to listen to them on my own so until I am hanging out with a friend and they say let's bump some NMH or they pop up at a festie I will continue to ignore them I still to this day know people who have not seen Star Wars or Forrest Gump with logic like this. I just decided to apply the principal to them. I hate Milk I never drink it is the basis for me in this decision. I also hate Eggs to I mean really hate them. I have been known to walk outside in the dead of winter because eggs were being cooked in a house I was in. The smell makes me gag.

I actually just started listening to them. The only song I had heard before hearing people discuss them here was 'In The Aeroplane Over The Sea' and I liked it enough.
Now that I'm binge listening on Spotify I can say that I would make time in my 'Roo schedule to see them should the opportunity arise. Would they be an afternoon tent? Maybe an evening Which? I dunno. Educate me.

I pray they get a late night, they're much too big for an afternoon tent though, maybe evening which

Really enjoyed the show at Mountain Oasis. Didn't know too mnuch about them prior to going to the festival so I listened a bit but didn't really get hooked until the live show. Thought it was pretty great and wouldn't mind having them at Roo as well.

I'm a little confused where this new found hope of them playing came from but I'll gladly accept it. Couldn't travel to any of their shows on this tour due to school and I graduate in May, making Roo possibly my only chance to catch them. Can only imagine what this show would be like on the farm.

I listened to them last night and they had the audacity to write a song about carrots? Sacrilige Tool has done written and closed the book on the subject I hope you all enjoy them because that is why Bonnaroo has many stages I will ignore every other song they ever put out part of the reason I am ecclectic and crazy (not eccentric that would imply a surplus of material wealth I do not have the resources to fight off a commitment for insanity with Psychiatry but I did memorize the answers for most standardized tests and know on Rorschach to never say your pictures come from the white are instead of the ink blot)here is a real song about carrots the hidden track 69 from Tool's Undertow album. Hipsters prepare for your doom. link
