Jeff Mangum XFM Interview, part 1

[@CoqueSpoke]

All the people who say Neutral Milk Hotel is just Jeff Mangum and all the other members are expendable need to hear this interview. He is so humble, saying NMH's albums and music couldn't have happened without the other members and also robert schnieder. I really love Jeff Mangum for saying that.

[@smkxodnwbwkdns8369]

Any musician knows the truth, that band members aren’t “expendable” and are essential to what the music is

[@haydenserice7126]

hahahah sure…. he couldn’t have without them

[@emilygibbous]

Words cannot express how much I want that sweater.

[@aaronpescasio]

“haven’t slept for about 30 hours now” he’s just like me fr 😔

[@hankowen99]

Jeff slowly became Steve Brule as the interview progressed.

[@brentpalucki9613]

I read your comment, and immediately didn't want to believe you. But slowly came to accept that you are right.

[@rhymetymerecordsofficial2675]

[@jamesthewstevenson2482]

JUST BE HAPPY WITH YOUR VAGHEENNAAA

[@cometome255]

[@kweenkong2281]

That guy interviewing sounds like John Lennon

[@0SW13]

@xBillyTheKidx He sleeps in that sweater, bathes in that sweater, recorded In The Aeroplane Over The Sea in that sweater... I want that sweater.

[@AndyTabelz]

[@sea58]

semen stains the video URL

[@maneatfoot8693]

hehehehehehe

[@Reionder]

OH MY GOD LOL

[@hfl_]

LMFAO

[@dontwren]

okay, maybe i'm crazy, but ive never heard jeff's speaking voice so well, and its almost startling. both him and the interviewer have beautiful speaking voices, really creamy and soft. and im listening to jeff say "yeah" with a purr and talking with a rhythm once he gets off on a tangent, with similar breaks in his voice in a sort of a pleasant pattern. maybe i just never listened to someone talk so closely, i suppose thats just what makes him a genius.

[@mrBiobronch]

the line "semen stains the mountain tops" from the NMH song "communist daughter" is also repeated twice in the song. that´s the joke and frankly it´s hillarious.

[@hop6269]

Frankly?

[@the_original_Bilb_Ono]

y'know, the snow ball, balls with the snow man in the ball you shake, you sit uh you shake and the snow goes...on... the... snowman... in the globe

[@father042]

I always thought his name was Magnum

[@Bigsquatch_ky]

Dat sweater.

[@DeathOrGlory83]

Same here only I read the comment before the video got to that part, and yea he totally did turn into Steve Brule at the end hahahahah.

[@mattaurand9203]

May 1998. The exact date isn't known.

[@oxygenlung]

'i like awkward interview pauses' -me

[@FoldedTapestry]

i am high as hell and this comment killed me, well played sir.

[@willzamzmaddog8614]

hey guys, um, Jeff looks like Anne Frank. Which looks like his wife. hashtagilluminaticonfirmed

[@Reionder]

People claim that Astra Taylor looks like Anne Frank but I think Julian Koster looks so much more like Anne than Astra, but it might just be me

[@IonsAgo]

You can assume it's 98' or 99' they mentioned In The Aeroplane Over the Sea as being new.

[@badskroy71]

Damn, I didn't know this was from the 90s. I thought this was like 2008 lol.

[@daRkxRelik]

Jeff

[@BlakeBlackstone]

[@popthepoop1]

@dnon75 Im guessing May 1998 Put into google: "Aquarium Drunkard » Jeff Mangum :: XFM Radio Session - May 1998"

[@The_Natural_Man]

@Hubahubatime Did you not hear him say he'd been awake for over 30 hours?

[@LucidDream]

Him and the lead singer of The Whigs looked so much alike...

[@lizbajjalieh9841]

[@hannahrl]

not a crazy misperception. jeff magnum was in The Dead Boys in the 70s. Which band I actually like better than NMH, I think.

[@dirtbagdistro]

Hannah Reich-Levbarg that's Jeff MAGNUM not MANGUM I thought the same for a while though

[@DunoHARM]

A hair dresser and a two year old boy.

[@Flea817]

This comment should be the Top Comment.

[@samcastevens8044]

I hate to break it to you, eight years later, but your comment is the bottom comment.

[@StoneAgeAbortion]

The fact that the featured video for this interview is Hipster Olympics is disconcerting to say the least.

[@bloodsuckern]

rec????? Cool story
