Jeff Magnum Return

<< < (4/4)

The Eyeball Kid:
Has anyone read the new 33 1/2 book on 'In the Aeroplane...'? There's a great fantasy from a fan about Jeff living in the woods and making beautiful music for himself and when he's finnally released there will be an explosion of light and everybody will know he's returned"
Its a bit more elaborate then that

Jeff will return when he's ready, I hope. You could argue that guys like The Arcade Fire are running with the In the Aeroplane thing (though NOT the Fiery Furnaces- matt specifically said he never listened to NMH...) but it ain't the same

Whatever he does it should be different. And brilliant. And just... wonderful.

Hard to talk about him without getting choked up, i think

I've been meaning to read that for a long time, sounds delightful

The Eyeball Kid:
It is... its all about him and his group of friends forming bands and being different bands and making music and just being beautiful.
Its really great.
Another great thing i read about them was a salon.com review of a Decemberists album that talked about NMH alot.
Someday i want to make a documetnary about them

Spartan Pho3nix:
What exactly is Jeff's magic?

He plays simple guitar chords with very simple percussion tracks in very simple arrangement/strum patterns and sings.

I guess it's the voice and the lyrics, but it's amazing.
