At Charlie’s party this weekend, we were all speculating about the upcoming ‘Surprise Guest’ at PopFest. Charlie thinks it might be Neutral Milk Hotel. I think that would be amazing, but highly unlikely. So we debated that for a while and I guess it fucked with me, because last night I had the most vivid and realistic dream. I was walking around the video game aisle at Best Buy. I walked outside to the parking lot, and it was full of people. There was a stage, and a huge screen. Playing on the screen was a black and white crazy commercial for the upcoming NMH reunion featuring a really huge black and white negative picture of the band. (Scott Spillane’s beard was fucking huge and black) Anyway they were talking to the crowd encouraging them to buy shit from BB and making sure the crowd was aware that they would be performing 10 times that day. Fucked up.
OK having said that, I don’t think it’ll be NMH. I hope they play again one day though. I have lots of emotion and memory tied up with that band and it’d be nice to see them play again.
