There was once a discussion over at Blogspedition about people coming to Neutral Milk Hotel’s album In The Aeroplane Over The Sea in different ways and different times. Something personal that strikes me about it is that when Gretchen and I broke up for that one half-year or so, we both listened to it quite a bit, albeit separately. She probably knew it was about Anne Frank, I did not.
Anyway, just saw a post on Stereogum about the whole thing that was well written and interesting. Apparently this year marks the album’s 10 year anniversary, and they posted a bunch of videos of the songs being performed.
I can’t recommend this album enough. If you have a record player, buy it on vinyl so you can hug it like a care bear, I think it’s around 12 bucks for a new copy.

If there was a line to be used to encourage the purchase of vinyl “buy it on vinyl so you can hug it like a care bear” is it.
Well done.
