Notes for this episode:  

\\n

Moondance is also a brilliant Van Morrison album, but we didn\'t mention it because it\'s a very different thing than Astral Weeks.  

\\n

For the record, we didn\'t party to GNR every night in college, just Thursday through Saturday!   

\\n

RIP Marvelous Marvin Hagler, a true champion.   

\\n

Neutral Milk Hotel are part of the Elephant 6 musical collective, which also includes the Apples in Stereo, Circulatory System, Elf Power, Of Montreal, and Olivia Tremor Control, among others. So, although NMH are very singluar, if you do like them you might want to try out some of these other bands as well.
