My friend introduced me to Neutral Milk Hotel during the car ride down to Manchester. I didn't get to hear the whole album but I did like what I heard of it. I forget whch it was but my friend mentioned something about Anne Frank...?
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**

hxcxor is right, here are the quoted details from pitchforks update.
However, according to Robert Schneider, Apples in Stereo frontman and Mangum's close friend, Mangum confirmed via email that he did NOT author the post.
Schneider posted the following on E6 Townhall today:
"dear friends--
"i had not commented on this thread because i wanted to hear back from jeff mangum directly about it-- i sent jeff an email quoting the initial post on this thread yesterday, and he just replied:
'hello robert-i am sorry to inform you that this is not my post. could you please inform the good people on the e6 list that this is not my writing? thank you robert. much love-j'
"this came directly to my email from jeff's email account-- the post attributed to him is 100% FALSE, sorry to bear the disappointing news-- it was a very beautifully written fake post!
"you are all beautiful and brilliant kids, it would do the whole world a great deal of good if you took all this great energy and excitementyou have been passing around here, rolled it up with your anger and disappointment into a big wonderful pissed-off ball, and recorded a bunch of kickass songs!!! please go right now and make something special, do something great, retaliate against the mediocrity that engulfs us!!
"don't just do it for me, or jeff, or elephant 6 (although it would please us all immensely) do it because the world needs it!!
love, robert schneider"
Pitchfork spoke to Schneider on the phone just a few minutes ago, and he confirmed that his post’s contents were all true. "It didn’t sound like his writing style because, for instance, it closed with the words 'thanks for listening,’ which is a phrase that I’ve always used on Elephant 6 literature, not Jeff. It was kind of my little catchphrase,” Schneider said.
He added, "I wish it were true!"
So do we, Robert. So do we.
While we had him on the horn, we asked Schneider about the new Apples in Stereo album. He said that he'd been working on the record for the past 10 months, and that he’s headed to Brooklyn soon to mix it.
Schneider had mentioned earlier that the infamous email exchange with Mangum had also included a discussion about "Apples stuff," so we asked if Mangum had any involvement in the creation of the new album. But all that Schneider would say is "I don't want to comment on the making of the record until it’s done."
