• "We would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for." I think this would be their most famous song. I found it from a random recommendation. Honestly, I found it to be Radiohead-esque. It's not a bad thing, but I've always wanted to get into Radiohead but not know where to start. Same thing with Neutral Milk Hotel; I dig the sound, but where to begin? It's tough when you find a band that's been around for years. You become a newbie, and a lot of fans would just criticize you for hearing them from a mainstream source (ie. Radiohead's "15 Step" was featured in Twilight, though I can safely say I have heard Radiohead way before that film). Fans are cool, guides are appreciated. This line reminded me of the book, "School's Out", by Christophe Dufossé. It's hard to say if the book should be recommended, because I'm stuck between the idea that it was so meaningful that it lost me at the end or the author threw in such a personal experience that only those around him could understand, not necessarily reaching to the reader. Anyways, there were parts when the narrator would sometimes think about the childhood times he spent with his sister when he would explore parts of their body on their parents' bed. For some reason, it doesn't come to me as sexual. It was curiosity for a strange thing. I don't think this song's about incest specifically. I don't know, NMH seems like a band with stories to tell, and I'm ready to listen. Which story to start first, I've no freakin' idea. Oh, and plus, I regained hope in Chelmsford after I met TWO Amanda Palmer fans. It was amazing. They told me that they met her in person after seeing her play in Lexington High School. This is one of the many reasons why I would support Masshole artists.
