According to various sources on Twitter, elusive Neutral Milk Hotel frontman Jeff Mangum performed a very rare set at a loft in Bushwick, Brooklyn tonight [Dec. 4]. (UPDATE: It was the Schoolhouse.) He played ten Neutral Milk Hotel songs for an audience of approximately 75 people.

Ben Goldberg of Ba Da Bing Records, who helped set up the show, says, "I really can't say what this means in terms of future performances. This was a last minute show, done intentionally without buildup to let it be as simple and easy going as possible. It seems to have gone exactly like that. What I honestly feel like I saw tonight wasn't The Greatest Musician In The World Performing The Most Amazing Songs Ever, but rather a fantastic musician performing his wonderful songs. God, I have to say that is so much more gratifying than trying to look at it as a life altering event. I bet others who were there would agree with me."

Setlist below:

01 Oh Comely
02 In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
03 Gardenhead
04 Engine
05 Ghost
06 King of Carrot Flowers Pt. 1
07 Song Against Sex
08 Naomi
09 Two Headed Boy
10 Two Headed Boy Pt. 2

In The Aeroplane is one of those albums which I can honestly say helped shape me into the person I am, spiritually. Nothing short of amazing.

Also, it was the very first LP I bought when I decided to start collecting vinyl. I do love Avery almost as much, but I still prefer Aeroplane by a little bit.

I like the album a lot more now, but On Avery Island is still better.

I didn't first either - but over time the rough around the edges vocals and repetetive guitar patterns containing 'oh' so much emotion will have a place in my heart forever.
