OT: Are you the King of Carrot Flowers?
So I've been going through every kind of music that I have enjoyed over the course of the last 20 years. Neutral Milk Hotel's In The Aeroplane Over The Sea album is probably the greatest thing ever recorded. I first heard ITAOTS about 15 years ago, and I HATED it. Wrong place wrong time. I came back to the album in probably 2008 or so, it just happened to be on some big bundle of music that I downloaded.
It probably sat on my PC for a couple of months and then one day while listening to music on shuffle the album came on. It made sweet sweet love to my ears. Since that day I've been hooked.
What and or whom is your Neutral Milk Hotel? I'm seriously curious. What is the most beautiful thing you have witnessed?
you're welcome
I saw Manic Street Preachers playing The Holy Bible in its entirety yesterday at the Metro in Chicago. Great fucking gig. Great fucking album.
ETA here is the video for "Faster". So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything,
I bet you built a tower that tumbled through the trees.

I feel like this post would have been more productive if I had included a little more discussion about whatever was staining the mountain tops.

on Lonesome Crowded West and Turn on the Bright Lights. I'd add Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Black Star to that list as well.

And Muswell Hillbillies and Arthur.
I would actually say that Neutral Milk Hotel is my Neutral Milk Hotel. I first heard ITAOTS as a freshman in college, and it just struck me. Since then, I've lsitened to it hundreds of times, and have actually met multiple friends by bonding over it.
I saw them live a year ago, and it was an awesome experience, but a bit different than I expected. Definitely a fun time, but they play upbeat mostly which changes the feeling of the songs.
Was just about to edit my post to include The Pod. I remember listening to it for the first time many years ago and wondering, "what the fuck did I just listen to" and the rest is history.
buffet, outlaws when i was young. but i don't find time to listen to these things nowadays.
so OP, what're you drinking?
There was a year I lived in East Quad where ITAOTS was played essentially on loop down in the Halfass. I swear, I could walk in and out of there all day and hear the whole album before I was done. Great record, but that year and my devotion to the crack-infused curly fries they served down in that basement just killed it for me.
Old stuff: Neil Young live at Massey Hall is downright moving. Pick your Zeppelin album. Also, Bowie's hunky dory gets me every time.
New stuff: Portugal. The man in the mountain in the clouds, Alt-J's first album, and Lucius. Love them all
Mine would be Dredg. When I first heard them I thought it was terrible. Gave them a second chance for El Cielo and it went quite well. Went back and listened to the older stuff and thought the band was amazing
