The Return of Jeff Mangum


My week has been pretty amazing, and it keeps getting better. Today I happen to have watched a cover of Neutral Milk Hotel's "Two Headed Boy" by local band turned prepubescent superstars, Surfer Blood and thought, what is Jeff Mangum up to this days. Turns out today was my lucky day! For only a few hours ago was news posted on Strangeglue that Jeff Mangum would be releasing one track. Sadly (but not sad) it's a cover he's putting out for a friends, (Chris Knox, of the Tall Dwarfs), charity album Stroke: Songs for Chris Knox. It's a cover of the Tall Dwarfs song called, "Sign The Dotted Line." Just hearing Mangum's voice again is just comforting to the soul. If you wish to purchase the album to support the cause head over to Merge Records website for a digital copy. If you want the physical you are going to have to wait till February!
