There is No New Neutral Milk Hotel News

BUT...this summer you will be grabbing the reissue of On Avery Island that features bonus tracks, won't you? Fire Records in the U.K. announced (a while back) that they'll "be re-issuing the classic Neutral Milk Hotel record On Avery Island at the band's request. They're planning a whole new package including some live bonus tracks. More to follow…" Nothing has followed, except a release date: August 10. That's not so far away.

In the meantime, if you need a fix and you haven't seen every NMH bootlegged video on the planet already, just go to you YouTube and type in the band's name. Here's a sample. You can see Jeff Mangum singing, Julian Koster pacing around him, John D'Azzo nearby, and Scott Spillane trumpeting.

Oh, and no, the band is not getting back together anytime soon, I just felt that I needed to re-inject their presence in this blog.
