The revered, ex-reclusive Neutral Milk Hotel front man surprised Occupy Wall Street protesters in NYC last night by showing up with an acoustic guitar and playing an 8-song set heavy on In the Aeroplane Over the Sea songs. Full set:

1 “Themselves” (Minutemen cover)
2 “Holland, 1945″
3 “Ghost”
4 “Song Against Sex”
5 “Two-Headed Boy Part 2″
6 “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea”

8 “Oh Comely”

I love Spotify more than I love myself but I still can appreciate these:

Personally, I’m going to buy the $6,000 set that includes a surf board.

And then we have a Neutral Milk Hotel boxed set:

Or maybe you’re going to get this one instead?

Jeff Mangum Played at Columbus Elephant 6 Show

Reports from our message board about last night’s Wexner Center show:

So I stood about a foot away from Jeff Mangum’s right elbow as he played Engine to end the E6 Holiday Surprise tour with Julian Koster on singing saw. Anybody who knows anything about Jeff Mangum knows what a momentous occasion this was. Truly, ridiculously, unbelievably unreal. The show itself was what one would expect from the most positive traveling commune on the planet- loud and quiet, disasterously beautiful music.
