Clint just sent me this link to Jeff Mangum performing “Engine” and it is awesome even if the video is terrible.
Maybe there is hope yet for future works or live performances.
Hey, didn’t I dream this very thing recently?
It is becoming increasingly apparent that I miss my early to mid twenties.
Last night I dreamt that Jeff Mangum was playing a live show in these here current times. The only thing different was his hair. It was short.
I honestly had this dream and was so very sad when I woke up and realized it was not to be.
If I had planned this post more effectively, I would have located some photo I took circa 1998. Unfortunately, I did not do that. Nor do I remember whether I ever took photos of Neutral Milk Hotel back in the day. I bet I did…
I have a very fond memory of Clint and I walking around Athens, Georgia and unexpectedly seeing Mr. Mangum ride his bike down the sidewalk. I think we stared, which was probably very rude. This was maybe in 1999 or 2000?
