It’s maybe a
little early yet for year’s end retrospectives, but who cares:
we’ve got 157 songs, 10.5 hours, 1.12 GB of “some of the best and most notable music from 2010... covering indie, pop, rock, punk, folk, rap, R&B, soul, dance, country, modern classical, ambient and electronic music, and in many cases, hard-to-classify genre hybrids.” —Curated by FluxBlog’s own Matthew Perpetua.

Neutral Milk Hotel demos, videos, and bootlegs. Brainchild of enigmatic, now-reclusive singer/songwriter
Jeff Mangum (not Magnum!), the "fuzz-folk" project known as Neutral Milk Hotel began and ended in the 90s and only released
two LPs, but is still held as a touchstone by many
indie rock critics.
More
live recordings can be found at the site for
Elephant 6, the collective which included NMH and
other bands like Beulah, Circulatory System, Elf Power, and Apples in Stereo.
The complete discography and more MP3s. Some
lyrics. (
