Jefferson Mangum - The WFMU Archive Vol 1-3

Jeff Mangum\'s (lead singer/songwriter of Neutral Milk Hotel) stint as a DJ in 2002. Wild stuff. Like really wild. See the link below for a complete as possible track list. The first track on the first show is a Jeff Mangum original (and first new material since In The Aeroplane. sorta):

\" ├?┬¼ \"To Animate The Body With The Cocoon of the Her Unconscious Christ The Mother Removes Her Death Body of 1910 Only To Be Reborn In The Same Spirit as a School of Blow Fish Believing in the Coming of the Milk Christ\" - The Long Warm Wall of Alfred Snouts {This lengthy titled track is an original Jeff Mangum sound collage, described in Jeff\'s interview with Pitchfork from February 2002: a long string of vivid sounds... A cathedral bell, a man coughing, an accordion playing, hooves clomping, children cheering, a snippet of a woman telling a dream in a lilting English accent: \"...and he brought me and my sister up the tower, and he showed me my parents, who he turned into pieces of fish...\"} \"

Add in lots of odd jazz, well known jazz, music concrete, nature recordings by Douglas Quinn, hungarian folk, calypso, classical, american primitive, folk, psych and Stephen Hawking lectures.

NOTE: this came as mp3s on a CD-R from:

\"streaming RealAudio was captured to wav,
divided into segments (usually where Jeff comes in), and encoded to
160kbps MP3s using EAC (LAME 3.93). I would have encoded higher, but
160k worked best resulting in three shows fitting snuggly on a disc, for
a total of 3 discs for the 9 shows (27+ hours of music).\"
