  • What a terrible song and a terrible album. Not to mention, that hideous picture.

  • @wetlettuce92 you so silly. go die

  • @wetlettuce92 To each there own. But shut the fuck up and dont listen.

  • shame theres so many /mu/ elitist losers trolling on NMH, this is one of my favorites, the instrumental towards the end is pretty beautiful

  • Am I the only commenter that actually likes this song?

  • all these comments are weird >.>

  • Comment removed

  • Cant help but air drum to this song. Gotta be my favorite NMH song

  • @redsoxfan1324 did you see the live one on here? Really awesome! it's under a guy named "Defgav"

  • This is that all time filthiest dubstep I've ever heard.

    Jesus.

    I feel like I've been violated by a thousand prison-fulls of men.

  • @WhyCantIRememberthis I'm going to give you a lobotomy with a rusty screwdriver

  • i came to this band because of the needledrop, and here i am, looking through all these dumb arguments in the comments, and i wonder, what is it all for? i honestly dont like the band at all... it just sounds like simple folky rock-ish music. and not good like arcade fire or anything. not even slightly catchy... so who gives a fuck who likes it or not? theyre not big so its not even a big deal. if you like them just listen to them. if you dont, dont. i know im not going to any longer.

  • @frenchythenazi nice trolling. Arcade fire? lolol

  • @StillLifeWithMangoes not trolling, what the fuck? haha, someone cant have an opinion these days without being a "troll". and yes arcade fire, they actually make GOOD music. this sounds like some bland gayass shit i'd hear on the radio in the 90's like blink 182. trash.

  • @frenchythenazi yep it is from the 90s, whats bad about that, plenty of great albums are. And come on, how can you compare folk rock to the pop punk that blink 182 put out. I'm pretty sure arcade fire were inspired by albums such as this.

  • @frenchythenazi it`s all about the lyrics. and if we are going to talk about the arcade fire, let us not forget that win butler is a big fan of this album (he called it one of the main reasons he signed with merge).

  • You know who you are, no video comment will ever change that.

  • RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE hipster RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE urban outfitters RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE they took our jobs RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE the narwhal bacons at midnight RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE

    I am only here because April Ludgate likes this band.

  • @caffreye Yeah me too!! April:)

  • @caffreye I like how you ridicule modern hipster stereotypes and then at the end reveal your own affection for a generic indie/hipster celebrity. Is your piety that much different?

  • dubsteplolwut

  • @zCliffordz

    >hipster as fuck

    @MFRMPt

    >hipster as fuck

    MonsieurRondu

    >tl;dr, hipster nonsense rambling

  • @sonicfreak19 Don't bring MFRMPt into this he's a legend for putting up those Pumpkins tracks you dickhead!

  • Look in the description.

    "me gusta".

    That is all.

  • Why do people accuse eachother of being hipsters? If you're chirping someone for being hip then that usually means you just don't have any style or sense of music... Just thought i'd throw that out there.

  • Why should we care about being called a hipster in the first place? Should we really let some dumbfucks try to harass us just for solely our music taste? All I really give a fuck about is if I like the music I listen to, not the stereotypes that come with it.

  • It is said that if a brave soul can go to a NMH video and venture courageously through the impenetrable, hellish howls of hipster accusations, wade through the dense sea of all caps and swear words that compose of youtube fights over what genre this is or who listens to this, and finally avoid being sucked into correcting all the idiotic comments and insults left behind by anonymous foes, only then may they be able to lean reeeaaallllyyy close and maybe kindof sorta hear the song playing.

  • Cue ->

    Fucking hipsters  saw that coming asshole

  • @IElrekkaI no, but i'm gonna make it dubstep B|

  • is this dubstep

  • @IElrekkaI yes. This is dubstep.

  • @SkaterRebellion XDDDDD

  • its too bad jeff magnum is now batshit crazy

  • The progression of this song is so exciting. I get chills every time.

  • why does it even matter. "hipster." here for the music

  • Comment removed

  • hipsters call people hipsters

  • Hipsters are like pornography. I know it when I see it. 

  • hipster...mmm..interesting. wasn't that a term used in the 1950's? why, yes. It was.

  • Is it just me or are hipsters extremely mainstream?

  • What is worse: posting a dumb comment on Youtube or responding to a dumb comment on Youtube?

  • i am a hipster and i too like this music

  • and why do they even care? *ejaculates all over every troll below this*

    

  • Beautiful fuzz-rock. I love when people attack this band btw...it shows who is a fucking idiot.

  • @aridchimp

    What do you mean, this band is overrated hipster garbage

    -Cooltop

  • that motherfucker can sure play a woodsaw

  • deeeeee dede dee dee dee deeeeeeee dede dee dee dee deeeeeeee dede dee dee deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • YES! Heaven knows i'm miserable now is the featured video and not some Hip-Hop song.

  • This is the worst comment section in all of Youtube.

  • everyone. please. stfu.

  • The fucks a Hipster?

  • Labels, labels, labels, just fucking listen to the music.

  • Why does there need to be a label with everything anymore. I dont know what a hipster is and i don't care. Lets just enjoy the music.

  • hipsters 68 and non hipsters 101

  • how did i know that as soon as i clicked on this video there would be a shit ton of hate against hipsters? hmph.

    fuck, people, why can't we just live in peace? social cliques don't even damn matter. the negative attitude is only making things worse. just be happy with yourself, that's all that matters. let people be themselves. if you don't like it, then just be sure not to be like them. that's IT. simple as that.

  • If you throw hipster on me I'll kill you. And if you don't understand Neutral Milk hotel you're a sad spirit

  • this is some good shit...

  • If you love Neutral Milk Hotel, you'll LOVE Caliver!! Guaranteed!!

    Check us out at calivermusic.bandcamp.com!!!!!

  • My friend told me about this band and I really like them. Why does there have to be a problem coming from that?

  • why is jeff bridges advertising "the sea of memories?"

  • Why does this song sound so much like sons and daughters by the Decemberists? the fact that its in the suggestions isn't very helpful either.

    Also, like many other videos, why would any of you who bash this song or band go onto the video just to bash them? Like you're going to convince anyone who is here because they like it. Just stay in your room kiddo

  • @asumbudee23 No no you have it wrong. Sons and Daughters by the Decemberists sounds like THIS. Not the other way around.

  • @asumbudee23

    Well, I can hear some definite similarities, I don't think it was intentional. Regardless, they're both great songs, so double the fun for you and I, eh?

  • I enjoy listening to...yes i listen to Lady Gaga and Tool and MIka and Stevie Nicks and LMAFO....... I am nothing but myself

  • i dunno wtf i am and who cares anyways just listen to good music n NOT FUCKING LADY GAGA because hehe u guessed it ITS NOT GOOD MUSIC

  • @Jazztastic2112 Just because you like Indie rock, there's no need to bring down artist like Lady Gaga. Nobody's forcing you to listen to her. How would you like it if someone came up to you and was all like, "At least I don't listen to FUCKING NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL. That's just NOT GOOD MUSIC."

  • theremin!

  • costanza.jpg

  • im not a hipster and i like this music

  • @NJFAN07 That's what a hipster would say

  • @branfransisco9 a hipster doesn't listen to metallica, 50 cent, linkin park, green day, saliva, slipknot, pink floyd, guns n roses, motley crue, kanye west etc. Yea hipster my ass

  • @NJFAN07 Hipsters love kanye west, It's clear you're only stupid and not a hipster

  • @NJFAN07 One time, I met this guy who took one look at me and said, I bet you're so hipster it hurts. You listen to Neutral Milk Hotel don't you. I just said, yeah, yeah I do. And he said "cool" and then we were friends.

  • @lovefromeponine did i say being a hipster was a bad thing?

  • @NJFAN07 I don't know, did you? Is there supposed to be a punch line?

  • @lovefromeponine lol your acting like im bad or something but i never said anything bad

  • Classic. No one said you have to like it.

  • Just not my cup of tea.

  • my god this is good, been listening to album all day on youtube now I have to buy it.

  • @Uzzie101 Yeah, right? I missed this one, now listening over and over. This whole album is a gem.

  • was totally ready for Untitled, but got silence instead...

  • I've never hear of these guys before, but I really like this song.

  • Of course... I listen to a song named "Ghost" and I get suggested videos saying "ZOMG GHOSTES IS REALZ!!!" -_-'

  • Youtube's comments on NMH videos piss me off every single time.

    - HIPSTERS!!!!!!!!!1

    - LOL this is stephen colbert's favorite band!

    - This actually exists? Parks & Recreation brought me here! lolololol~

    so i'm just better off not looking at the comments.

  • @fourteenstorieshigh I hate the hipsters comments, its like jock humor, those people are incapable of understanding that some people like music they don't get or dont like

  • Class song!!!

    

  • Hipsters? I just..came here for the song. These guys are amazing.

  • 90% of Youtube Neutral Milk Hotel Comments: hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster hipster

    Jesus, people, just get over it. Jeff didn't write his music to be obscure, he wrote it from the heart. He's a good composer and artist, so why all the debate about it being hipster when you could instead just take it or leave it.

  • Hypnotic.

    

  • I like ANY song with a good and prominent bassline. Apart from that, this is still the best song on the album.

  • Yow.  First encountered this tune at a non profit recycled building parts joint in a decaying Great Lakes city playing n some internet pay stream site.

  • Is that a lady, on a boat, with an onion for a head..perhaps a potato, waving? or saluting that onion loving Hitler?

  • @em09j That's a snare drum on her head, it's a metaphor for physical abuse...

  • @simonsinferno I heard the metaphor was a metaphor for metaphors

  • @simonsinferno

    actually, its a tambourine

  • @em09j I thought it was a coconut head ._.

  • its a potato

  • @TheAmazingPandaprod That's why we love it <3

  • @TheAmazingPandaprod One armed, one horned, flying purple people eater.

  • I miss them so fucking much. God Dammit.

  • I like how all the comments aren't pertaining to the song or the band, it's all arguments over hipster bullshit.

    Seriously guys. Shut up and enjoy this amazing song. Forget all the social stigma attached to it.

  • @BadgerOfDoom Yea! Agreed!

  • you guys need to calm the fuck down about hipsters, and just enjoy the music

  • I wish I did take drugs to enjoy them more.

  • all heil jeff mangum.

  • Personally, I found this from my friend Dan, who claims he isn't hipster, but we joke around with him anyway. We even have hipster-offs where we make jokes about the hipster culture. For example:

    "Heaven is so mainstream, I'm going to Moksha."

    "I liked myself before I had friends."

    "My jeans are so tight, you could use them to choke a bitch."

  • @BarfFromSpaceballs Good for you, bro.

    We sometimes makes jokes about you:

    "BarfFromSpaceballs is so gay, he sucked my cock"

  • @Clerks0 LOL, I made hipster-dude angry.

  • @BarfFromSpaceballs No, not really.

    U mad tho?

  • @Clerks0 Nah, me neither.

  • All my friends call me a hipster, I really wouldn't consider myself a hipster.

    What I mean is, when I picture a hipster I think of somebody like Darwin Deez or somebody from Fleet Foxes.

    However, I suppose I'm a hipster because I listen to a lot of underground Lo-Fi and a lot of dance-punk.

    I think the whole Hipster generation is a joke though. To live your life ironically just seems like a real big waste of time and I'd rather just live my life enjoying music then care about hipsters

  • @Dankscarver lol. fleet foxes soo obscure XD

    dont worry. i have a friend who's a mega-hipster and we make fun her all the time XD

  • this is aight. everyone stop bitching. I barely found out about them because I watching a clip from Stephen Colbert from like, last year and he mentioned them so I decided to check them out. and what a surprise. hipsters vs antihipsters. but no one is actually hearing the songs. it's just in the background while they read the comments and bitch. and think of something or someway to bitch. shut the fuck up man. watch?v=auiXrUa4_XM

  • @4NrAGS

    I'd like to know which episode of the Colbert Report that was.

  • @HSHVulcan na it wasn't an episode it was a press interview he did after he hosted the grammys . . I think. I don't know I don't watch really TV especially watered down ass shit like the grammys. but he was holding one in his hand and he's in front of the background and shit and I do kinda remember that he and Stewart hosted that or oscars or someshit like that. he barely mentions it when they ask him what music he likes tho.

  • I would rather hang out with a hipster than a person who feels the need to go on youtube and diss them.

  • @mmm222r how about i diss you?

  • @jayZ006 I don't know what that accomplishes.

  • @mmm222r Truer words have never been said by a youtube user.

  • @mmm222r I would rather hang out with someone who can think for themselves thank you.

  • @mmm222r i don't get people who diss hipsters.. is a hipster inherently a smarth mouthed,know-it-all douchebag? i'm asking 'cause i want to understand.. i love "hipster" like music.. i recently got into the indie/folk scenario with The Kills, Mumford And Sons, Animal Collective Beirut and i don't dress with old drags =p

  • @lambovsatan225 . The hipsters are the counterculture hypocrites who hate everything with a mainstream tag on it, and listen to music simply because of how many other people embrace it. It is a social group worth of being laughed at. They do, embrace, and live with the purpose of being "underground" or "indie" rather than just being themselves. Hipsters stop listening to some of their favorite groups as soon as the band reaches semi-fame, because that's too mainstream for them. Google this shit.

  • @iceseekers Ohhhh i see.. well that's a retarded way of lookin' at music..

    I guess you can easily separate a hipster from a band a hipster listens to, because a conossieur and a close-minded, pseudo-intellectual gas are two different things.

    And nooo. You just told me all I wanted to know. =p

    Thanks, though.

  • @lambovsatan225 yeah, you got it.

  • @mmm222r

    that feel when you're a hipster

  • @mmm222r You probably don't know what a hipster is, then. The hipsters are the counterculture hypocrites who "diss" everything with a mainstream tag on it, and listen to music simply because of how many other people embrace it. It is a social group worth of being "dissed" on, dawg.

  • Man, the only people more annoying than hipsters are people who need to go on youtube to diss them.

  • Didn't care for the other song I heard by them, but this one is pretty nice. Rousing.

    As for all the talk about hipsters... I don't think it's what you wear or what you listen to... it's an attitude and misplaced priorities. Nothing more. Anyone can like something hipsters like, for the quality of the thing, or because of personal sentimentality, while a real hipster would like that thing because it's a non-mainstream trend that lets them feel exclusive. They then abandon it once popularized.

  • If you like it, listen to it, if you don't then don't. Whats the point with all the fighting?

  • Holy shit. If I cup my ears -- you know, kind of bend them foreward -- a few feet away from the speakers, all this beautiful noise becomes far more pronounced. Strange.

  • OMG THIS IS LIKE THA BEST SHIT EVARRRR

  • is that a cucumber or a potato?

  • @mike94pietrobon i think a potato, but for some reason i always think its a coconut.

  • @procrastinats

    I always thought it was a drum, like the ones they used in the civil war.

  • @procrastinats It's a tambourine 

  • @DeviDecay really?

  • @DeviDecay actually it is a drum, i just looked it up.

  • @procrastinats OH! Thanks for telling me! I always thought it was a tambourine

  • Every time I hear of an unpopular, underrated, good band and album...I tell as many people as I can about it. You guys can all blame me. ;)

  • @Mannex17 What about the beautiful Singing Saw solo? not to mention the wonderful lyrical content.

  • @Mannex17 if you can't feel what this music makes me feel then there's no way to explain it.

    I find it kind of amazing that music this good can come from "mindless chord progressions"

  • Can we shut the fuck up about what's considered "hipster" and what isn't, and listen to the fucking music!?!

    Geezus.

  • @GabbyAlicex Nope.

  • What is all these hipster talk??? it seems to me this is all a bunch of Grunge fans and metal heads who disregard any music that doesn't sound like metallica, niirvana or that Nickelback shit. And now you have the perfect excuse by blaming it all on hipsters, and this hipster talk is just a way for you to eclipse this great music.

    Hipsters or not, Who the fuck cares???

    it's good music PERIOD!

  • im confused, your listening to such an amazing song, yet all you care about is that a "hipster" is enjoying the song to, Pipe the hell down, and enjoy the song?.

  • wat the fuck is with all this hipster talk?

  • Hipster or whatever, everyone has a right to listen to jeff. However if you want to lessen the frequency of hipster posts, DON'T CLICK ON aeroplane songs and look at the comments =) Go over to some beauty tracks, b sides songs, even avery songs don't have that many hipster posts---oops that was supposed to be secret =) jk just enjoy the music.

  • Ahh I'm getting too old for this. Saw Jeff back in 1997 or 1998 at a show in baltimore. I was only 20 years old, lived most of my 20s with a bunch of bootlegs from hotel shows in my glove box or in a rubbermaid box full of sleeves in the passenger seat. 2 depressions that spanned 5 1/2 years and 3 mental breakdowns later....I only have Jeff to thank for brining me back.

  • neutral milk hotel is too good for hipsters.

  • 111 likes im gonna like too but it will destroy the awesome number lol

  • Comment removed

  • I'm here because of Will Grayson Will Grayson too. When I first heard the title of the band, I thought it was an element of fiction like the rest of the book. But then I looked this up, and no band has blown my mind in the same way Neutral Milk Hotel has.

  • THis soundss kkinda like the KILLERS LOL

  • @MarcoEsquand0las

    Obvious troll is obvious

  • LOOK AT THESE FUCKING HIPSTERS!

  • @emay75wildcats That word.. I do not think it means what you think it means.

  • @emay75wildcats if it was hipster it would sound like shit, also it wold be rap.

  • just knocks me sideways....every single time.....

  • believe it or not Neutral milk in its time was considered "trash band" now its indie folk, funny how that works out isn't it?

  • This is my favorite song on the album, it's chilling the way the bass guitar explodes behind the whole song.

  • Anne Frank was born the same year as my mom. with great fortune my grandparents took the boat to the US. Anne Frank, many hearts are with you and your family. Shana Tova.

  • Fucking hipsters. Go where your neon short shorts and bandannas somewhere else!

  • @bleedingelite I don't think ANYBODY that has EVER listened to Neutral Milk Hotel has EVER worn neon short shorts and bandannas...just saying.

  • I just have to say, this song kept me believing in the magic of spirituality, My experience with love has stemmed from this song.

  • I love breakdowns

    I love hardcore metal

    But i love NMH just as much.

    bring back good slow music like that.

  • This is definitely pop, but pop isn't always bad. The Beatles was pop (mostly), and they're obviously incredible. NMH is just pure genius. I was born in '90, and I love a lot of music to come out of that decade is great, in my opinion, but few are worth listening to repetitively. NMH is one of them. It's just gorgeous music, really.

  • @martyrdomcausespanic

    please don't bring the beatles into this, they are nothing compared to NMH.

  • @kolaoncoke That's your opinion. I listen to NMH more than I listen to The Beatles, but in my opinion, they're both legends. I only brought The Beatles into this because people were arguing on whether or not this was pop, and I was trying to say that pop isn't always bad, thereby giving an example. Sooo I think if you're allowed to thing NMH is better than The Beatles, I'm allowed to use them as an example of pop...

  • @kolaoncoke That's a ridiculous statement. NMH have 2 albums, only one of which is on any level near The Beatles, The Beatles ruled the world. Both amazing bands however, don't get me wrong.
