Jeff Mangum resurfaces!

While we await Kim's tome on In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, it's worth noting that Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeff Mangum appeared live on stage last night for the first time in almost a decade. According to billboard.com, he sang two songs with the reunited Olivia Tremor Control at NYC's Bowery Ballroom. Details here:

Hard to say whether this is setting the stage for new Mangum music - but if Jandek could be coaxed out of solitude, perhaps there's hope for Jeff as well.
