See! The "click" is not some fabled witchcraft. 😉

I think they're pretty dang average.

Nothing too overly wrong with them, but I can never seem to love them either.

Avery Island: I think I've listened to it, but never got really interested in it for some reason.
Aeroplane: Quite a good album, though overrated.

I never had much hope for NMH as I've never really got into folk.

I'm also way more familiar with the songs than I'd realised, although it makes sense given how many times I've tried to get into this. I can't say for sure that this isn't a one time thing, and that when I listen to it tomorrow the feeling of utter indifference won't return, but I think I'm finally coming around to ITAOTS. I hope so. Either way, for this brief moment in time, this album is awesome.

It is strange, from the people who I know who enjoy this album (or worship it), it either seems to be an immediate reaction, or a very slow burning appreciation. I was in the former camp, it was love at first listen, but I've heard much to the contrary. Perhaps it may be something that you have to listen to in just the right frame of mind.

I wouldn't consider myself a fanatic as some people are, but I do love In The Aeroplane Over The Sea and like On Avery Island quite a bit too.

I've been meaning to re-listen to Aeroplane recently. It's something I never particularly liked, but I never particularly disliked it either. I've always thought it was extremely overrated, but it's been a while since I've put it on. About to give it a spin. Maybe this time something will "click", or whatever. Probably not though.

I've tried listening to Neutral Milk Hotel many times, but I couldn't get into anything besides the tracks Holland, 1945 and Everything Is. Maybe I'll pick up a copy of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea and give it another try.

This is a b-side from Holland, 1945. Pretty cool for fans of Aeroplane that haven't heard this one.

Yeah that's a great one, Jeff closed the show with it when I saw him

Here's another great unappreciated one

Also I love how we've turned this into a NMH appreciation thread.

I don't think joj should have been banned. Unless he got multiple warnings or something and didn't listen. Sometimes I think people get banned a bit unfairly. I at least think it should only be a temporary thing and he should be allowed another chance down the road.

Either way though, NMH is the cat's pajamas and if you think otherwise you deserve a crowbar to your pinkie toe.

It can't be joj. He's IP banned or something lol. He can't do anything on this site, in fact he can't even see the overall chart. Whenever he try to click something, a message with something like "you're banned fåkken douche" pops up. I know, cause he PM-ed me on another side. In fact he told me what is presented later in this post. I said I didn't want to be the missing link between him and BEA. But shit, now I'm drunk (played synthesizer for some freestyle metal vocals lol) and stuff, so I feel like might as well posting it. If I've ever earned any respect around here, I might lose it now. But anyways, what I and joj talked about:

thejoj96 wrote:

Hey Borve,
If you get this message, could you try asking the following questions on BEA?

1. Why was I banned?
2. Is it a permanent ban?
3. Is there any way for me to regain access to BEA, such as viewing the overall chart, viewing album pages, and looking through forum threads? Because right now there is literally nothing I can do on BEA. If I click anything, it will just tell me that I am banned.

Thanks,
thejoj96

My response:

I said something about a use of a certain racial slur. I don't want to exactly post my original response, because it makes me feel bad and certain BEA-users could get offended

What joj responded:

thejoj96 wrote:

Okay. There are three threads where I have used it, and none of them were meant to be offensive in their context.

1. In the "make up punk bands" thread, I was just making up some band names with that slur. I wasn't trying to imply that those were my beliefs, and they do not represent my beliefs.

2. In the "post your entertaining youtube videos" thread, I was being sarcastic in my reply for a video: "Jesus Christ Is My Nigga". I wasn't using the slur in an insulting manner if you look at the context.

3. In the "song quote suggestions" thread, I was listing legitimate quotes from songs. The quotes do not represent my beliefs.

I apologize for those whom I offended, as I did not intend to be insulting or demeaning in any way. The context is which the slur was used was not meant to be offensive, bigoted, or racist. I oppose racism.

Context matters.

Make sure to share this message on BEA. I also want to know the answers for my second and third questions in my original PM.

Thanks,
thejoj96

My response:

Borve Baunehoj wrote:

I'll look at it. I can't answer the two latter questions

joj's response:

thejoj96 wrote:

I meant for you to ask the two latter questions on BEA and then PM me with the answers that mods/albummaster gave you.

I never asked a mod or anything
He later asked me for an update, and this was my reply:

Borve Baunehoj wrote:

I'm a bit confused. I don't know exactly who you want me to ask and where to do so. Also I'm not sure about how I feel like being some kind of missing link between you and BEA

He has never replied since. I don't know. Life is hard. This post was dumb. Whatever
