jesus, christ i have been looking for a sweater like that for like 5 goddamned years.

[64ah]

@wearefinallysuper check out Goodwill or thrift stores and stuff. If you haven't already. Which you probbaly have if you have been looking for 5 years.

[nikkisixxual]

ITAOTS is a shit album and all you hipster fucks know it's true!

[tman2tuff]

@nikkisixxual

That is your opinion and you are entitled to it.

On a personal level you should go fuck a rake

[s1ayd]

I want this sweater.

[ainsliemorgan]

actual goosebumps.

[sergangus]

Did you know the lead singer of Chamber Dungeon, GO actually learned how to play the guitar from slash....?

[sergangus]

CDG is the shiot.

[sergangus]

This my favorite Chamber Dungeon, GO song, and album for that matter.

[sergangus]

I love Chamber Dungeon, GO!



[miceforshoes]

I bet his grandma knitted that sweater for him.

[theredbird123]

I wonder how many artists today would voluntarily play an old, obscure, song live just because a fan asked them to. Wish I'd been there.

[thechronokills]

was this played at a christmas party?

[3296856]

yesterday i was just singing "you are a mother, you are a mother, you are a mud"

[Zargon314]

wow, i've been listening to the audio of this since high school, had no idea there was a video!

[aukemanj]

I am SO happy that this exists.  1:52 almost made my heart explode.

[sbutros]

3 people are liars.

[leilanisparkle]

sometimes i love neutral milk hotel so much it hurts my soul

[SKA804]

Damn......

[WeirdFro]

3 people need to fall down wells.

[MrIknowmonkeys]

@WeirdFro They are jealous and want that sweet sweater. 

[NarrowMinded00]

[EuclidianProposition]

Everything about this performance is awesome, even the Cosby Sweater. 

[torroxceles]

I'm pretty sure Saling Through is about a bad relationship, rather than drugs.

[kolaoncoke]

i wonder why i got a thumbs down LOL. obviously someone is a shallow poser. why even watch this video if you're gonna give someone a thumbs down for a thanking the poster? lol faggot.

[kolaoncoke]

This song brings me to my knees...to finally see the video of the song that has changed my scope on life for the last 3 years is ground shaking. thank you. thank you so much.

[NmHman127Nugget]

lol thumbs down u didn't deserve that someone has a bad sense of humor

this song is about neutral milk hotel

its about energy and hating fucked up social norms. It's about doing nothing. I'm so happy with the thought that they don't do drugs

[CharlieBrownZero]

you think any artist in the last 200 years didn't do drugs or drink them selves senseless? i imagine you're from a completely different world

[mattttttttttttdR]

ha, they do. or at least smoke.

and this song isn't about that at all

[billken1333]

sailing through isnt about drugs, its about sex.

[quizlixx]

@billken1333 no it isn't, he said it wasn't about sex himself

[bklyndrek]

@quizlixx i most definately agree with you quizlixx, he does say specifcially that this song is not about sex

[leifrksn1]

@bklyndrek It's not. Listen to the Beauty cassette. He clearly specifies it's not about sex.

[Theseventhknight]

@leifrksn1 Really? Him saying that is what made me believe it WAS about the sex. He said it so defensively.

[bookoflists]

@Theseventhknight

I understood him to mean that the lyric "I really want to be in your body, to be inside you" was not referring to a desire for sex (obviously too literal); whereas I think the song IS about relationships, love, and sexuality.

[Theseventhknight]

@bookoflists well I think we disagree then--you think it's "obviously too literal", whereas I think it's perfectly acceptably literal.

Or maybe it's a synecdoche. It's literal while still representing the entire relationship.

[bookoflists]

@Theseventhknight You'll have to be more specific. I don't understand what you are disagreeing with.

MY point is that (imo) the phrase "I really want to be in your body" etc. does not refer to a desire to be physically having sex with them; I think it is that aspect of the relationship which IS the sickness: that it's crude and lustful but not loving.

Rather, the phrase refers to a strange sort of self-loathing (empathetic) de-toxification of both. Sorry for the wordiness.

[64ah]

@quizlixx Maybe to jeff mangum the song about sex...maybe it is about drugs..its how different people interprete the song and thats why its art...

[quizlixx]

@64ah Never though about it from that perspective, thank you for that.

[64ah]

@quizlixx Thats just my opinion on the matter. Its just what makes sense to me is when i say that. Hopefully didnt sound like i was bashing what you said. That wasn't the point at all.

[quizlixx]

@64ah not at all, i actually hadn't thought about the song that way before. =D

[64ah]

@quizlixx Okay well then all is well haha. :)

[angelzyt43]

hels yeah i love him his new cover song just came out a weeek ago, type in sign the dotted lign jeff mangum he sounds old. (you might cry)

[ouch11]

he doesnt sound old in a bad way!

his voice just sounds more mature.

[iknowme]

are there no other videos from this show?

[VivaLaJamii]

theres something almost eery when you watch him play live. i like it.

[dudesons441]

Thank you so much sir.

[WheresPoochie]

Effortless

[sergangus]

@WheresPoochie Everything by Chamber Dungeon, GO is effortless. CDG all the way.
