My Bloody Valentine are playing the Tokyo Rocks Festival which is on the 26th and 27th. What are the odds they'd hit Sasquatch first? This guy seems to know what he's talking about... And I think they are most certainly anti-perfect for Sasquatch, and won't be on the lineup. [/quote] Not sure how to take that...

I feel like I got the full NMH experience from that Mangum show at the Crystal. Spillane was there, which is ultimately more important than having Jeremy Barnes, and that dude from Elf Power was on hand to fill out the instrumentation when it became necessary. The reason Jeff Mangum disappeared for a decade was that he is the kind of person who actively resists the kind of attention that would have come with allowing NMH to continue growing in popularity. If he were to tour and bill himself as Neutral Milk Hotel, it would be fucking huge at this point. But it would fundamentally be the same show that we saw. The only reason Mangum has been touring at all is that he did a couple of (very small) performances on the East coast and witnessed first-hand just exactly how important those songs have become to people. It affects people deeply and individually, and that is the kind of thing the dude cares about and respects. So he did a couple more shows, and then he didn't want to exclude the people in this part of the country or that... I think it has already gotten much larger than he initially intended, and I am fairly certain that this next round of tour dates (scheduled in the armpits of states that he hasn't made it to so far) will be the last we see of him for a long time. I just fucking wish Spillane had sang one or two more Gerbils songs in the opening set. Truth. I can dream though... I was a sophomore in high school when I first heard that album. Almost started crying. and weirdly enough (or maybe not, I guess) it was Holland 1945 that did it. What a lovely, lovely man he is.

Seeing Jeff Mangum play at the Crystal this year was one of the highlights of my concertgoing experiences, no doubt. He was so powerful. But I REALLY want to see him play with Jeremy Barnes, Julian Koster, & Scott Spillane as NMH. That would be truly unreal. I saw the Elephant 6 Holiday Surprise Tour when it came to Backspace in 2011 and that was mind blowing. All of the Elephant 6 people are such incredible musicians and it would really be a treat to have any of them in any form at Sasquatch this year. also, WHO ELSE IS BUYING TICKETS THIS WEEKEND???

Microcastle is one of my favorite albums by a long shot and the jam at the end of Nothing Ever Happened was beyond words. My girlfriend who was indifferent to them at the time was freaking out after. Amazing show. Made better by our nameless, wonderful, Canadian friend we kept running into that weekend who would ask us every five minutes or so whether we wanted some vodka. I miss that dude. Also, made better by that perfect sunset lightning storm. My face melted so hard during the transition from Helicopter into He Would Have Laughed. YES OH YES THE PURPLE LIGHTNING SKY. I honestly couldn't have imagined a better setting for them. And is Davers a huge Archers of Loaf fan?

Prince. Too much of a diva for Sasquatch's budget? Sound off. So tell me, what's it like being a masochist?

Has anybody ever actually sat down and synced all four discs of Zaireeka? I have it but I've never found a group willing to do it. I have just the stereo mixdown but I've always wanted to do it for real.
