are the unreleased/unfamiliar things here "new" songs or archival? wondered if the guy actually still writes music. he's not playing anything except old stuff at these shows, right?

Wow, what the hell did I just watch?
But I'm gonna run off and put a SUNN 0))) sticker on my amp right now.
For the record, I like both NMH albums and nothing else of Elephant 6. Or the Fiery Furnaces.

Interesting to see Mr. Mangum is still playing live tracks, disappointed that they're all old stuff.

my gf listens to 'aeroplane' at least once a week but wasn't too excited by the idea of seeing dude solo. we'd both go see the full band though.

Not much of a "tour." Too bad no Cali dates...

It's sort of blowing my mind that they're bothering to call this a tour, and that the headlines are going with it.

are these tickets going to be really expensive?
― rock 'em sock 'em (Treeship), Tuesday, 30 April 2013 03:36 (eleven years ago) link
probably not if you buy them at face value. i think my mangum solos were 30 bucks apiece or so

pretty stoked for this, was listening to the new a hawk and a hacksaw last week and thinking how unlikely it was i'd get to see that band lineup again, when barnes moved out of town that's when it started to be apparent that this 'break after a year of touring' might turn into something more. nmh plus elf power, 1998 all over again, gonna be fun to see mangum pop up to sing in 'the arrow flies close' again.

If there's one thing I've learned from the oughts, it's that breaking up / losing your mind / retiring forever at some point is the best thing one can do for one's career.

I saw the last ever NMH gig. There were maybe 50 people there. I imagine more people will want to see them this time round.

Was that the Camden Underground show? Where they improvised that song in tribute to the sun at the end? One of the best shows I've ever seen.
― media conglomerates are pedaling the same product (stevie), Tuesday, 30 April 2013 10:15 (eleven years ago) link
That was indeed the Underworld. Brilliant gig. I'd loved In the Aeroplane so much I was convinced everyone else in the world must feel the same, so I was genuinely shocked at how sparsely attended it was. I don't remember the improv, just being bowled over by the whole thing - so ramshackle yet hurtling forward without doubt.
― If you tolerate Bis, then Kenickie will be next (ithappens), Tuesday, 30 April 2013 11:06 (eleven years ago) link
The ramshackle thing was key - I remember the drummer would tumble into these epic drum rolls, and not be able to roll back into the songs, so he'd just stop playing, listen along for a couple of bars and then jump back in. And they were just so joyous, laughing, drunk, a wonderful mess. I couldn't get the Melody Maker to cover them back in the day, but The Times let me mention them in my roundup of the year, and I wrote something about how they played like a Salvation Army Band after their first taste of the demon booze.
― media conglomerates are pedaling the same product (stevie), Tuesday, 30 April 2013 11:23 (eleven years ago) link
The Maker rejected them because an office wag said they sounded like "the panpipe band off the Fast Show".

Got Mark B to write about them for me a couple of years ago. I always wanted to get Simon Schama to do something on them - did you know he's a fan?
― If you tolerate Bis, then Kenickie will be next (ithappens), Tuesday, 30 April 2013 11:28 (eleven years ago) link
Ha! Simon Schama?? Well, the album is steeped in history, I guess...

ITAOTS was very ~important~ to me but at the ATP JM curated I was pretty cynical about seeing him play for a variety of reasons, and then when he actually played I was a blubbering hysterical wreck from the first note till the last. Dunno how he did it it was just a bloke with a guitar playing some songs I don't have particularly intense feelings for any more ffs.
