  • Someone posted this possible Neutral Milk Hotel / Jeff Mangum demo leak of Milk - Beauty (1990) on /mu/ claiming they found the recording on an iPod that someone left behind in their apartment. It is supposedly a pre-Neutral Milk Hotel demo recorded by Jeff Mangum in 1990.
    This demo is definitely known to exist and was encoded to MP3 at one point by someone on the Elephant 6 message boards, but it's never been shared online until now.
    It sounds legit to me, I figured I'd put it up here so other people could listen and share what they think.

    want to believe so badly that it's real. Could definitely be Jeff, and the recording quality is quite similar to that of the other unreleased demos. I know reddit's been picking it apart but i'm not thoroughly convinced it's a fake yet. Guess we will never know...

    I can confirm that this is not real. I spoke recently to the guy who owns this tape. He said that the recordings on his tape are quite different and do not sound similar. Its certainly cool audio but it isn't what we want it to be.

      @@noelwhite6650 that’s a shame, maybe it was a cool personal thing between the two guys or some special thing they wanted to keep for friends. Im satisfied with the output of content Jeff has released, but will always be down to listen to anything new.

    "You Bled Quite A Bit":
    You bled quite a bit
    holding out your hands right there
    And our skin melts away
    As the boats fill with holes again
    Surprise filled her face
    As her spoon hops into my floor
    Just outside L.A.
    As the shelves knock down again
    And you bled quite a bit
    Holding out your hands right there
    And her skin melts away
    As the boats fill with holes again....

      There is no concrete evidence that this isn't him, which it seems a lot like is the case, and his name ISNT Jefferson, that's the fake name he would go on radio shows and work on projects with for a while. His name is most certainly Jeffrey. Not Magnum though, that's a joke.
