Jeff Mangum & Co.- “The Fool” & “Engine”

I haven’t been so overjoyed by a piece of music news in a very long time:

Jeff Mangum, the fragile, brilliant musician who created In the Aeroplane Over the Sea and On Avery Island, has not performed the material publicly since 2001… until now. The notoriously reclusive Mangum finally broke several years of radio silence this month to revisit some Neutral Milk Hotel songs with his old friends from theElephant 6 crew on several stops of their Holiday Surprise Tour.

this makes me very happy.
