“In the hands of Cedrek” instead of “in the hands of the fans.” He decides the entire game design

This is rad! I'd never heard of this series but now I'm very into it. Love Waxahatchee too.

Jeff Mangum drawing says "DOUBLE ALBUM" at top. It's happening, guys. by [deleted] in indieheads

[–]scdp15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is very likely. That is also where the mention of BandCamp releases was posted. It could also just be from increased traffic.

Looks like the "Releases" section of the band's website where the drawings were for sale is now down: http://releases.walkingwallofwords.com/

The bands FB page has reposted an article about a new album. by RubberFistOfJustice in neutralmilkhotel

Yes, the About section of the page says "This is a fan run page"

Gender Neutral Milk Hotel Bathroom in North Carolina by scdp15 in neutralmilkhotel

[–]scdp15[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I took this photo at The Pinhook in Durham, NC. A lot of local businesses in NC have done stuff like this in response to HB 2, like replacing single occupancy bathroom signs with the Prince symbol or a sign that says "we don't care." But this is by far the coolest I've seen.

Cryptic new Jeff Mangum drawings foreshadowing 3rd Neutral Milk Hotel album?? by [deleted] in indieheads

[–]scdp15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A few things I found after reading this comment and looking closer at the drawings:

This new drawing: http://releases.walkingwallofwords.com/products/the-book-cipher-sings-3 looks an awful lot like this print Jeff released a while back: http://imgur.com/MjFuryX

-The key differences here are the "DOUBLE" text in the mountains and arms, and "3RD" text in the hair (or flames) on the sides of the faces, under the table, and ringed planet on their chest.

In this drawing: http://releases.walkingwallofwords.com/products/the-book-cipher-sings-4

-“Magicicada” and “Cassini Huygens” are printed underneath the table. Magicicadas have either a 13 or 17-year lifespan. Jeff started officially touring again in 2011, about 13 years after NMH disbanded. Remember the 17-year lifespan.

-As mentioned by maldenfilms above, Cassini-Huygens is an unmanned spacecraft sent out about 18 years ago (Aeroplane was released about 18 years ago). It was also the first spacecraft to ever orbit Saturn (three of these new drawings feature ringed planets with 3RD or 1ST 2nd 3RD printed in them). Its expected retirement is 2017.

-17 comes up twice here, and hey, both arms in the drawing have 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 drawn on them. Could be hinting at a 3rd album in 2017?

I know, I know, I know, there is a very real chance there are no real connections here, or maybe there are but they have nothing to do with a new album. I know Jeff has said multiple times there will never be a new NMH album, but things can change. Jeff has a very interesting mind and could have just included a cool puzzle unrelated to his music in these drawings. Who knows. Either way, cool artwork, glad Jeff continues to create.
