Out of Town / Video The Neutral Milk Hotel High School Musical

Posted by on Tue, May 12, 2009 at 9:49 AM

So perhaps you've heard (there was a bit about it on NPR over the weekend, and it's been elsewhere as well) about the new high school musical based on Neutral Milk Hotel's masterpiece In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, called "With the Needle that Sings in Her Heart," and co-directed by Dresden Doll Amanda Palmer at her old high school? It is apparently a fantastic imagining of Anne Frank's last days, full of hallucinatory circus reveries and, you know, Neutral Milk Hotel songs. And if you have some time to kill this morning, you can watch the whole thing below. (Sight unseen, I already suspect this is the coolest thing ever connected to the Dresden Dolls.)

I gave up after four minutes of watching people filing into the theater. Which still might have been the coolest thing I'd associate with the Dresden Dolls.

Get ready for 22 MINUTES OF NOTHING before it actually starts.

Eric, perhaps it better to see the sight before saying that it is good. I made it to the 50 minute mark, and I still don't know how I held on that long.

I didn't say it was good; I said that it was probably the coolest thing ever connected to Dresden Dolls. I'll stand by that.
