the last one, in our NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL based quest to cover all of IN THE AEROPLANE OVER THE SEA in one go, song to song. This is Untitled into two headed boy part two. Again.. not suppose to be done for quality :) just recorded for memories of the day but we thought we’d share as theyre listenable
PART 5: The finale. Untitled is a great thing to play, I’m on Melodica and electric guitar at the same time, which meant tapping chords and playing that awesome tune. Then Two Headed Boy Part 2 is a really magical way to finish the album. The video is pointing at the ceiling for some reason. ELLIOTT.
Part 4: this is what everyone is no doubt the most interested to hear.. Oh Comely! And Ghost. Oh comely was incredibly cathartic to play, it just poured out and ghost - well. Lets just say playing ghost has left me with a pretty raw tendon in my strumming arm - but we got through it!
PART 4: Was awesome, it was great to hear Elliott do Oh Comely, and when we all smiled and sang the chanty bit, oh man. Ghost went far better than I expected, cause it is a crazy song strumming and timing wise, at least the way they do it. You need the vocals to carry it but we had no vocal mic so just try so roll with it.
the 3rd part of mangum day. I play two headed boy, then patrick knocks out some beats as we rip into the fool (which sam worked out beautifully on the guitar). Then into Holland 1945, which you cant hear the vocal for really.. but you can still sort of work out where we are before Communist daughter and some mean kazoo’ing. Thats the first half of IN THE AEROPLANE OVER THE SEA DONE.
Possibly my favourite series of songs, I’m on electric guitar and kazoo and some vocals for this. Also any droney noise. Look out for the bit where I get near the camera.
part two of mangum day. This is a cover of just IN THE AEROPLANE OVER THE SEA. Again the quality isnt supposed to be great, we had one mic.. But still, NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL!
2! I’m on bass here after melodica and guitar of the first part.
The first part of our IN THE AEROPLANE OVER THE SEA album cover from Mangum day. Its pretty dire quality in terms of the recording. The Actual full version of the song starts 1.40 in, and goes from KING OF CARROT FLOWERS PART 1, into 2 and 3. More to come :)
Part 1!
Yesterday a couple of my friends and I - Elliott and Patrick - covered the entirety of In The Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk hotel after half a days practice. It’s a lot sketchy, and the recordings aren’t perfect quality, but it was an intensely fun thing to do. I implore you all to watch the following videos I will reblog.
I’ve been helping to produce this awesome track by a great band called Termite. Check them out
