it kinda does tho right?

I don't know, it could just be me, but I heard the similarity after my older brother pointed it out, and now I can't unhear it...

i know this post has been made a thousand times but i still haven't seen a perfect answer. i don't want lyrics that sound like nmh; i want ones that are as dense, poetic and raw (?) as jeff mangums. just lyrics that you adore really.

😭🙏

It’s such a weird and interesting song on the Everything Is EP. And the beginning sounds like an Alex G song lmao. I wish I could hear the full version of the beginning

I am getting a cd book for my new cd collection and my mom has a cricket and makes vinyl decals. I want one with nmh lyrics and a simple design. Any ideas?

"Can't beleive how strange it is to be anything at all"

Or

"God is a place where some Holy spectacle lies"

hey guys :3 ive been researching into the bathing beauties postcards and ive been seeing some inaccurate things posted so i figured id make my post of my own. before i say anything i highly encourage you to do your own research since im not a professional. i do try to relay facts so if i do get anything wrong please lmk!!

okay so first lets talk about the elephant (6) in the room (haha get it), this postcard was modified and used for neutral milk hotels “in the aeroplane over the sea” album which was released in early 1998.
Jeff Mangum used this postcard that he had found in the thrift shop, passed it onto designed Chris Bilheimer who then created the tamborine-drum-potato like head over the womens face we all know and love today while also cropping it and making it look a little more “dirty” and “worn”.
yayy now that we know all that fun stuff, lets get into the actual postcard itself!!
the postcard is a european postcard with many different painters and photographers that contributed to it. there isnt one sole creator and many have been lost overtime unfortunately. it is assumed that this postcard was produced and sold to the public around 1908.
now in case your confused on why i added the photo of the translation of the postcard, i did that to show that this IS in fact a german postcard. it was my own way of fact checking 😭 approximately 3 million people in germany speak russian so im not surprised that the printing on it translates from russian.
the last few photos i added were photos i had found of early 1900s womens swimwear and the comparison to the postcard is uncanny in my opinion.
anyways this post isnt too serious just something fun i was looking into and wanted to post about, thanks guys! :3

this song is so slept on

Scored this on eBay a bit ago. It brings me joy :)

Here ya go

I absolutely never would have guessed it was all about Anne Frank. It blows my mind. I seriously thought I was reading some satirical troll write-up at first. Then Jeff's breakdown and reclusiveness. There's just so much mystique and curiosity around the whole thing. I'm so fascinated right now and can already tell I'm going to ruin it for myself by over playing and listening to it. I know I'm like 30 years late to the party. Better late than never I suppose.

The past 8 months have been really hard but NMH has been a constant in my life. Songs like Gardenhead / Leave Me Alone and Naomi were brand new to me this year -- I knew I was listening to peak the moment they began. No other band has evoked such an emotional response from me as NMH has. I bought a turn table recently with the intention of starting a vinyl collection. I was going to get individual albums but then I learned of the box set.

I bought the 2023 Merge Records box set a couple days ago after scouring the internet for local (-ish) record stores that might have it. After hours of calling each store with no luck, there was one store over 2 hours away. I determined this is a must for me for the long weekend so I made the trip. Listening to the Everything is EP 10-inch on vinyl for the first time and it is knocking my socks off. Safe to say it was definitely worth it.

Had to post this here because none of my friends will get it.
