Live Review: Neutral Milk Hotel at 40 Watt Club, Thursday, Oct. 24
The 40 Watt was packed to the gills Thursday for the conclusion of Neutral Milk Hotel's three-night stand. As it was more or less a locals-only show (slash a people-who-used-to-be-locals-only show), there was a distinct vibe of cameraderie (and, er, draaank) in the air; the band, especially the newly Teen Wolf-ed Jeff Mangum, seemed to respond in kind. Also, it was real sweaty up in there.
The band's set, which began in solo-Mangum fashion with "Oh Comely" and concluded an hour or so later with the similarly stripped-down "Two Headed Boy Pt. 2" (setlist here) was fast and loose in between; in fact, it got damn near rowdy at points. During uptempo songs like "Holland, 1945" and "Ghost," Mangum led a spontaneous pogo-dance charge onstage until the whole thing began to feel, well, sorta like a house show.

Beyond 'Monster Mash': Athenians' Favorite Halloween Tunes
We know "Monster Mash." And sure, it's wonderful and all. But the fact is there's a wealth of great Halloween-y tunes out there beyond the ubiquitous holiday hit. With this in mind, we contacted a bunch of local music-minded folks to inquire about their favorite spooky seasonal jams.
Read, watch and listen after the jump.

Live Review: Neutral Milk Hotel at 40 Watt Club, Wednesday, Oct. 23
We really need another photo of these guys.
Let's get this out of the way: Jeff Mangum is not some kind of reclusive, enigmatic indie guru sitting cross-legged on a mountaintop, waiting for you to climb up and shout his lyrics at him. He's just a guy who wrote some really honest, poetic songs about love in the face of impending death, then recorded them with a bunch of his friends.

Flagpole's Guide to the Mountain Oasis Electronic Music Summit
Nine Inch Nails
The inaugural Mountain Oasis Electronic Music Summit happens this weekend (Oct. 25–27) in Asheville, NC. Like Moogfest, the organizers' former event (which is continuing separately), Mountain Oasis will cull together some of the most interesting minds in electronic music today. (See photos from last year's Moogfest here.)
There's a little bit here for everyone—from electro-bros who crave the drop (Bassnectar and Panty Raid) to indie rockers (Cut Copy and Animal Collective) to elitist bass heads (Actress and Raime). The programmers at Mountain Oasis are so demanding that pretty much everything is worth seeing, but here's who we'll be sure to catch, schedule conflicts be damned. And of course, Flagpole will be in the trenches bringing you all the dirty throughout the weekend.
Our picks after the jump.
