Major Organ and the Adding Machine Trailer

[xXElcoXx]

I am a lobster, wtf is this?

[registrado54]

i may not know what's happening, but i like it

[babypiano666]

so lulzy.

[bfe456]

I can't believe Jeff mangum's first appearance in a decade was him in a lobster suit

[joesmomisdead]

Hipsters. That is all.

[JudahOwen]

Folk is first and foremost rooted in the volk. Thats not an appeal to popularisism, its an appeal to relevance. This is neither popular or relevant. Damn you for scuppering my expectations. PS. Well done for scuppering my expectations :-)

[Rhapsodyss]

Pre-ordered this off of Orange Twin's website and got it today. So very awesome. Alot of neat bonus stuff, too. P.S. The lobster is Jeff, according to the credits.

[ChrisChanFan2k9]

This is going to the the next Pink Floyd The Wall (movie) when it is finally released.

[Lazy0Waffle]

What the fuck did I just watch?

[BrunoTP]

what is this shit? what did you guys smoked?

[Pewpewharhar]

wat

[pdsmenthol121]

does anyone know the song that starts around 1:30 or so?

[mrpillis]

this is the most astonishing trailer i have ever seen. Thank you Jeffrey.

[xobk]

i don't know if there are enough drugs in the world.

[chm1220]

at 0:40, is that Julian Koster?

[FijneWIET]

I love it

[Dohbator]

I'd say so

[VanHalen010]

And the man at 0:35 I think is Julian Koster.

[VanHalen010]

How does one obtain this movie?

[flipwits2]

I have an album of Major Organ and the Adding Machine, but I had no idea that it was for some kind of movie. Weird.

[JustAnotherRainDog]

it looks so much like jeff mangum at the beginning...

[nopurpleshelves]

He plays the lobster.

[adv1k]

jeff does?

awesome!

i wanna see this

[horsedoctorman]

pitchfork said this looks bad but it looks a hell of a lot better than 500 days of summer

[djey308]

@horsedoctorman pitchfork knows nothing. anyway, rumors are november '09.

[KEVINTheMADCAP]

when is this coming out? i NEED this!

[welwise]

hurray

[theLonelyArtistClub]

This reminds me of Christmas on Mars in a sence.

[kappelga]

i love elephant 6 music with all my heart, but what the hell is this shit? it just comes off as pretentious.

[Callistheneitus]

Learn to music.

[ChoppinBroccoli22]

when is this supposed to come out? or maybe it already did...

i read on some website from last december it's supposed to come out this year.

[FsharpAsharpInfinity]

I'm so jealous of everyone who went to the E6 shows. Elephant Six doesn't recognize California :(

[eyeball226]

Well, there's not a hope in hell of them coming to the UK, at least you're in with a chance. I feel your pain though.

[soranemo]

I saw this film last night, and it was amazing!!

[Necrotide]

Interesting fact: Jeff Mangum plays the lobster in the movie.

Did anyone else who went to the show think that song during the credits was amazing?

[moonyx3]

I went to the Pontiac show, last night, and they showed this before starting the first set. It was fucking amazing! If they're stopping by anywhere near you, I TOTALLY suggest going the extra mile to go and see them. The entire night was fantastic, and I even got to have an (albeit short) conversation with Jeff Magnum! It was glorious.

[udenjan]

I went to the show, too. I never saw that place that packed before. It was a neat show.

[moonyx3]

yeah, it was fantastic. I'm uploading a bunch of videos, soon.

[FsharpAsharpInfinity]

I don't know if I could even handle talking to Jeff Mangum

[moonyx3]

yeah, it was completely surreal. I mostly just stood there, while my friend Brian managed to say some intelligent/not-so-creepy things. it was still fantastic.

[shorto3223]

I'll get around to posting a video, but at the pittsburgh show last night Jeff Mangum and Julain got rowdy and literally destroyed the stage. Then Mangum and Julian waded out into the audience, and with Julain on the singing saw, JEFF PLAYED "ENGINE"!!! Go to the show if it comes anywhere near your state!

[astronominee]

The tour is actually coming to a town near where I live and I can't go because I'm going to be in another state at the time! If Jeff Mangum makes an appearance I will never forgive myself.

[rarn21]

I cant wait for the premiere. Elephant 6 Holiday Surprise Tour ftw!!

[Thundercankles]

what tour? please fill me in!

[firetruckgreen]

Elephant 6 is doing a huge collective tour but they're only hitting like 7 or 8 states.

As for a Jeff Magnum appearance.... i doubt it, but wouldn't be surprised.

[mamawobo]

CRAAAAAAAAAAAY ZEE

[306163855]

im itching soooooo bad to see this !

its just a visual representation of eveything they have sung about

my god, its so amazing

[unfunkit]

oh jeff...

[sixsixone1234]

They're definetely hinting that it's Jeff.

That guy even held that note like insane ol' Jeff used to :/

[RASiler]

When you think it is jeff singing, it is.

[antsinmyorangejuice]

wrooong its the guy from of montreal here

[weareallanemic]

I BADLY want to see this sporadic mishmash of a movieeeeeee!

[FerdiMania]

Jeff Mangum is said to play a man in a Crab-costume. That would be the first appearence within a decade!

[applezzebra]

the woman baking things with records and polaroids is madam truffle. to understand, you have to listen to the song.

[ithinkx]

some of you guys are too square. go back to your plot-driven hollywood garbage.

[dbrett480]

The guy in the lobster suit is Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel.

[listentobrandnew]

that is speculation, not fact

[DPotcorn]

I just wasted 3 minutes and 39 seconds of my life watching that...whatever it was.

[SLDPotato]

Wasted? More like blessed!!!

[leftoverhard]

Nice, like Hansel and Gretel, I like.

[thevulgars]

If I die and never see this, I won't be disappointed in the least. Seriously, what the hell? I'm all for being creative and original, but this crosses the line by several miles.

[ElConsign]

Awesome, yet insane in the membrane.

[t3mpusfugit]

I'm confused.

[eeelectricboogaloo]

i am totally confused, but intrigued.

[tehresignation]

I love Neutral Milk Hotel/of Montreal as much as the next guy, but seriously, this is absurd.

[Tribune12345]

@tehresignation Do you even have any idea what you're talking about?

The music in this video was recorded before either of those two bands were formed.

[MTVrocks]

@Tribune12345 Don't criticize others when you don't know what you're talking about. Major Organ started in 1997. NMH has been around since 1991. And if you didn't know that you should be able to tell that the songs recorded for Major Organ are way better in quality than say "On Avery Island" or the "Everything Is" EP. Oh and Of Montreal started in 96. A year before Major Organ.

[Tribune12345]

@MTVrocks Sorry friend! I made that comment about a year ago when I had little knowledge on the chronological happenings of the Elephant 6 and an excess of zeal when it came to defending Mangum and crew.

I've updated my knowledge base since then. =]

[gibbonsandtheslut]

@tehresignation nah man, the album is so badass!!!!!!!!!!

[postmarkmycompass]

this will make my year!

[heartoftheworld]

hmm hope it's got more story than is apparent here. currently reminds me a little too much of something like the magical mystery tour beatles movie...which is pretty painful to sit through.

[naturelover11]

what the hell

[myleftventricle]

excellent!!!

[generalmuse]

Awesome! Thanks for posting this! I <3 Jeff

[ihateamericararr]

jeff mangum looks so happy in his lobster outfit!!

[theboyleastlikelyto]

how the heck do people recognize jeff? is a pitchfork myth?? i need answers ahhhhh!!!!!!!!

[lusanders]

@theboyleastlikelyto he's the lobster

[FijneWIET]

@lusanders Beautiful Beatles-reference :)

[tyler3t]

@theboyleastlikelyto you can tell it's jeff at like 10 seconds. maybe not his voice but obviously he had something to do with it. If you listen to "Invent Yourself A Shortcake" you'll hear Jeff use that vocal effect a bunch.

[theboyleastlikelyto]

@tyler3t i never doubted that jeff had a part in the music. i have the album and his voice is recognizable in a few of the songs. my question was regarding the pitchfork article that claimed that jeff was in the lobster suit in the trailer even though to me you can't tell who it is at all
