Will someone with some inside knowledge explain to me what happened to Jeff Mangum? He put out two brilliant Neutral Milk Hotel albums and then pretty much disappeared. Last I heard, he was a DJ at some college station in New York.
I just listened to On Avery Island on the way to work and, once again, was blown away. Such poetic, interesting music. Me likey.
Hey he moved to Nova Scotia with his girlfriend to live on a farm last I heard and still has writer’s block which is why there is no follow-up to the record.
Cool, thanks for the info. Let’s hope he loses that writer’s block soon.
