Neutral Milk Hotel - Oh Sister

[AnnieAnn93]

This song transports me to another planet.

[HawthornxxVideos]

"All those dirty dainty emotions just go  away...fade out on their own" So sad/beautiful/nostalgic?

[SquarePupilIndustr]

@HawthornxxVideos this is memorable.

[skoelzer]

the wikipedia article on jeff magnum was just updated:

"On October 4, 2011, Jeff Mangum made an appearance at Zuccotti Park in New York City and played several songs to the protesters participating in Occupy Wall Street." yay!!

[XxmisskittytxX]

@skoelzer I couldn't find it :(

[jmcgrail821]

Could somebody explain this? Is this like half Oh Comely, sped up, and half original?

[RAULMANRIQUEZ5]

son muy buenos wn.. 

[The84camerondurkin]

How could this not find room on the album? How is that possible?

[fheisk]

@The84camerondurkin i know especially considering the album isnt THAT long

[Uzzie101]

Hear the EP version?

:D >mfw it's better than Oh Comely

[bighouseboy7]

yes! NMH is releasing this song and another song called farris wheel on fire for free they sound amazing like a mixture of in the aeroplane over the sea and on avery island both tracks are amazing

[AllFolk3dUp]

How can you dislike this? I could masturbate to this -_-

[The84camerondurkin]

@AllFolk3dUp Already did.

[jacobthelioneater]

@The84camerondurkin IT HAS ROOM IN AN ALBUM NOW!!!!!!!

[kingcanti]

how can i find all of the neutral milk hotel content that isn't on their ep or either of their lps?

[genetrujillo]

@kingcanti google "thecollective sashwap"

[genetrujillo]

@kingcanti You also used to be able to get some stuff like "Jittery Joe's" at the Elephant 6 website.

[Cobertuskb]

Jeff Mangum is fucking golden.

[touchandgod]

God this is beautiful.

[timwasbornaunicorn]

I need this mp3.

[Hubris73]

I am really hoping he plays this at the show in Boston - its one of my favorites. I'm so happy Jeff is doing shows again!

[Allthingswhiteandgoo]

I MISS YOU JEFF>.

[love4all4ever]

its sad that their best, actually their only bearable, song got cut.... this song makes me so mellow :D this songs makes me so tired

[mussman717word]

@love4all4ever

Are you joking? ITAOTS is a fucking masterpiece, as is, and it would've thrown off the album's flow, as much as I love this song.

[GnomesAmok]

@love4all4ever

Hey buddy. Fuck you.

[FreaxEntertainment]

@love4all4ever

Bearable? They're only bearable song... you're an idiot. This is what true music is. GOOD music, that isn't just stupid rap or pop or something. And sure, it's rarer to find. But it's because it's rare to find someone who doesn't just follow whatever is thrown at them, and actually knows what the meaning of music is.

So, bearable? More like godly. Screw you.

[musicalpony]

@FreaxEntertainment Lol someone has a different opinion than me, I think I'll yell at them!

[superjumpman92]

i was so disgusted at the top comments that i'm like, "fuck this" and closed this tab, then the music cut out and i'm like, "fuck everything".

[ubercomrade]

MP3!!!

[MissManicEyes]

This song has been in my head all fcking day.

[MrHippobippo]

@iamaphoneyVEVO and i should say--this audio is from that performance.

[MrHippobippo]

@iamaphoneyVEVO ...the version i have is called "live @ aquarius records" (i think in SF) and i believe it is from 7/4/96. eight songs, it's a monster.

[shhmellshlikeasshhhh]

Jeff is better than sex. 

[olivegirl1989]

@shhmellshlikeasshhhh jeff AND sex= heaven? lol

[mussman717word]

@olivegirl1989

Jeff and an eighth... that's heaven.

[olivegirl1989]

@mussman717word haha that works too but i'd still prefer sex with jeff like a million times more =)!

[errkuh1]

such a powerful song.

[irascib1e]

I can hear Communist Daughter and Oh Comely. It makes me wonder greatly the significance of those lines and how the lyrics of the songs all tie together...

[Mynamesbob8]

It's like Oh Comely meets In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.

Awesome.

[mussman717word]

I love this guy! Already got tickets for the ATP Mangum headline show. Brililant man, a true inspiration to me, to all of us who have the luxury of hearing his voice in song.

[XxgameacexX]

Guys Jeff is Scheduled to play at ATP This year! Plus the article also stated.

"Mangum’s spokesman Ben Goldberg has told Pitchfork that additional shows are planned for the U.S. and Europe. So we’re just getting started."

Would post the link, but you know how youtube is. Found it on COS

[EmoSucks34]

And I thought I heard them all. The studio albums and bootlegs are enough beauty for an entire lifetime. I still pray Jeff comes back, hopefully at a time when a lot of people need hope.

[cheesyDELISH48]

There is pieces of Oh Comely in here...

[meanderband]

I like the other version of this song better. But its always amazing to hear jeff sing it.

[whatabeautifulscene]

The best part of the song: 0:01 - 4:32

[alexlg18]

Amazing :'(

[Utentagen]

I always tear up at 1:55.

[IxTASTExBETTER]

I want to drink Jeff Mangum's brain so badly.

[TreyMMA]

@IxTASTExBETTER Please don't kill Jeff.... if you could get his creativity buy drinking his brain I'd like to eat Manny Pacquiaos arms : D

[joshuaWEC]

Why the hell as this never released!

[jbravin64]

@joshuaWEC It is on the unreleased "Accordion Peas"

[jbravin64]

there are only two words that can truly describe Jeff Mangum .... Pure Genius

[ganstamannirvana93]

If this bitch broke Jeff's heart Im'ma break her.

[kratosaurion666666]

@ganstamannirvana93 Burn the blasphemer!

[alexgillespie1]

@ganstamannirvana93 nazis beat you to it :P

[ganstamannirvana93]

@alexgillespie1 Touche.

[KingOfThorn1]

I hear some similarities to Communist Daughter too :)

[SKA804]

This band will always be in my top 5, for the rest of my life.

[XdontUworryX]

Where do I get this song?!

This is masterful

[YellowJullyfish]

this song is so beautiful

[jbravin64]

i can totally hear the comparison to "oh comely"

[rhinocore]

one of only two songs i can find where jeff says a naughty word.

[toymachinethunder]

@rhinocore is the other one naomi?

[YellowJullyfish]

@rhinocore in a bunch or bootlegs and live recordings he swears. i think in the beginning of a song called piggy he even says "smoke marijuana"

[allielof]

Jeff is just amazing, he can't help it. Such beautiful lyrics :)

[3213528]

This is a fucking fantastic song

[Blackwaterdesigns]

"Rose Wallace Goldaline just moves her mouth over anything "

Why is this so beautiful? It's so goddamn beautiful.

[xXElMananaXx]

This is the first song I ever heard by them. It opened up a world of beauty unknown to me. I'll never get tired of it.

[MrJivePirate]

drunk calls from germany

[zathorg]

i really wish this could have been included on the cd...it would have made it better than it already was, which is reallllly damn good

[PureDeceit]

@zathorg The "first song" mentioned in the intro is Oh Comely.

[r00tabeggas]

I just found out about neutral milk hotel and I love the music.

[steve0619]

Are this one and the new years eve the only recordings?

[cookies2992]

this song is awesome and i want to shake hands with whoever made this art.

[adelechecade]

Jeeeeeeeeeeeff :(

[womble67uk]

Their best song and they never realeased it. And only two versions exist. And they are fairly hard to find. Sigh. It is beautifullll.

[Underwearhead]

@womble67uk where can i find the two versions? do you know?

[bookid54]

@womble67uk I don't know about best song, I do so enjoy Three Peaches. (: This one is good though... They all are.

[twoheadedgirl]

@womble67uk What is the other version besides live at Aquarius Records?

[ChristianPLM]

@womble67uk fairly hard to find? everything on the internet must be fairly hard to find for you if you think this is hard to find. youtube is the 3rd most popular website on the internet. simply typing in "oh sister" in the search box will give you this video as the second result, and it is first when you include the band's name. a top result on about the most popular website on the internet.... yeah, that is fairly hard to find.

[mussman717word]

@ChristianPLM

Haha, yeah, instead of calling a track "hard-to-find," people will have to start putting "previously rare" on their video descriptions, lol..

[ChrisnSnoop]

@womble67uk

What is the other version?

[GuBB3rGuN]

@ChrisnSnoop Aquarious Records



[GuBB3rGuN]

@GuBB3rGuN I mean 40 watt club.

[no3rdw]

@womble67uk It's your lucky day - a studio version will be on the new boxset announced today.

[bobanddavid90]

This is stunning.
