[QUOTE="juden41"]

Uh... What? care to explain?

[QUOTE="Reed_Bowie"]It's not really religious. He just has one song where he says "I love you, Jesus Christ" cfstar

That is true, but he regularly uses Metaphors in order to refer to religion. "Two headed boy" for example.

I really don't find that album very happy. It's actually pretty depressing, and Jeff Mangum's solemn expressions and rather cold approach live makes it seem sad too.Saturos3091

At times, yes, but most of the lyrics entail a story that ultimately shows signs of happiness and hope, even if the way he shows are ultimately sad. "Oh Comely" for example.

I think that a "Two Headed Boy" is a metaphor for a record. The two heads symbolize the "a" and "b" sides. There are also several lines that would support my theory, such as: "Now it's blacker than black", "I am listening to hear where you are", "With the needle that sings in your heart", "And they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine". There are a few others references to music and record players. if you read the lyrics

Seriously now, Neutral Milk Hotel.

It's folk, and rather religious, but it's a very happy, and occasionally quite touching, music experience.

"In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" wouldn't be called one of the greatest albums ever if it wasn't.

It honestly depends on the city. I, for one, like clean air, travelling by car, an abundance of space, a calm and quiet atmosphere, and no abundance of people in a small area, so I kind of like the suburbs. I might consider living in a city like Los Angeles or San Diego, but I would never want to live in a place like New York City.

With Tupac, there's definitely a "Kurt Cobain Effect", meaning that people exaggerate how great an artist's music is, because the artist is dead.

I think he's a good rapper, but nowhere near the best of all time.
