Chi ama, non dorme
Questa è la storia del musicista Johannes Elias Alder, che all'età di ventidue anni si tolse la vita, avendo deciso di non piú dormire. Si era innamorato perdutamente, e perciò infelicemente, della cugina Elsbeth, e si era rifiutato da allora di riposare anche solo un istante finché non avesse risolto il mistero del suo amore impossibile. Fino al giorno della sua morte atroce mantenne la ferma convinzione che il tempo dedicato al sonno era sprecato e perciò colpevole, e che avrebbe dovuto scontarlo in Purgatorio, perché il sonno è come la morte e comunque non è vera vita. Non a caso il vecchio proverbio paragonava il sonno e la morte a due fratelli. Come potrebbe un uomo affermare onestamente di amare la propria donna per la vita intera, se si limita ad amarla di giorno, (…)

The Elephant 6 Lost Release: E6-013 - The Clay Bears
Tumblr media
Below the cut for more info!
Okay, well it was never released, only catalogued!
“The Clay Bears” was, per the Elephant 6 Instagram, an experimental noise band from Ruston, Louisiana featuring a rotating lineup of Elephant 6 musicians. They were “known for their unpredictable performances and room-clearing live shows.”
One of the more well known quotes about the band came from the Elephant 6 website, which used to read “Clay Bears - One of the big mysteries of the E6. Apparently a super-group of some sort from the Ruston-era. The band had a revolving door line-up which at some points included such people as Scott Spillane, Jeff Mangum & Will Westbrook. They are thanked in the liner notes of Neutral Milk Hotel's album On Avery Island.”
And they are thanked on the On Avery Island linear notes! Taken from my personal copy:
Tumblr media
That quote is no longer on the website, but it is archived on NMH fansite neutralmilkhotel.org. That website also contains this snippet of information: "In a BBC interview in August 1998, Jeff mentioned the Clay Bears had a double album which was poised to be released. This never transpired, however. Ross Beach, a member of the band for a while, told me the following: 'As far as I know, the Clay Bears never had any official releases, though there were probably some 4-track cassette one-offs floating around Ruston in the early 90's. That was also a Jeff solo project, only noisier and more chaotic. The live version that I was in was purely an experimental noise improv band.'"
So based off this, we can assume that The Clay Bears was a project possibly spearheaded by Jeff Mangum and there may be demo tapes floating around the Elephant 6 sphere. The double LP Jeff mentioned is catalogued (but not listed in the database) as E6-013 on Discogs.
There is supposedly a clip of a Clay Bears concert on YouTube, but the video's since been privated. A Reddit post on r/Elephant6 asked about this clip (but got no replies). This redditor also did some digging, supposedly uncovering news from the 2006 Elephant 6 website about a DVD release with a Clay Bears snippet. Whether or not the supposed clip would be the one from the YouTube video is not known. The redditor further opines that the DVD was never released. Another redditor on a different post asked Jeff (because this was back when NMH were on their reunion tour) if Clay Bears would ever see the light of day, saying "it’s up to the people to decipher." The post itself speculates that the Clay Bears would appear on the Elephant 6 documentary. Admittedly, I haven't seen the doc, but I would assume it didn't end up appearing because there's seldom any discussion about the band or any resurfaced clip.
In another Reddit post, a user shows the University of Georgia media archive, which featured several Neutral Milk Hotel stuff in the Robert Schneider Collection of Elephant 6 Recording Co. Records. There is a Wayback link, but it's broken and while I can see the first recording is NMH instrumentals, I don't know what the second recording is. Apparently, the Clay Bears is somewhere in the archives, but the University of Georgia seems to have removed the collection and the Wayback Machine only archived the two aforementioned files. Although according to a commenter in the Reddit post, most of the links (including the Clay Bears) didn't work and would require going out to Georgia to listen to the physical tapes.
So that's about where the whole Clay Bears mystery stands. It's interesting how there's been multiple possible Clay Bears leaks, yet none of them seemed to survive. The Clay Bears is still listed as an Elephant 6 band under "The Collective + Extended Family" section of the website and there was an (aforementioned) Instagram post by the official Elephant 6 account last year.
Last thing, the image up at the top was posted by the Elephant 6 Instagram, but I don't really know what it is. They don't explain it and reverse image searching turns up nothing. It could be one of Jeff's demo tapes, but that's pure speculation on my part. I might try to contact them in the future for clarity, but I'm lazy and shy so I dunno.
Anyway, here's a few posters also posted by the Elephant 6 Instagram:

Review of “Black Foliage: Animation Music Volume 1” by Olivia Tremor Control in Missoula Independent, 29 April 2004
transcript:
Olivia Tremor Control Black Foliage/Animation Music Cloud Recordings
Take careful note, fans of Neutral Milk Hotel, Apples (in Stereo), and Jeff Mangum: Black Foliage is an indispensable document in the history of the Elephant 6 collective, the mysterious musical cabbal formed in Louisiana and now scattered between Denver, Athens (Georgia) and somewhere in Kentucky. It's a re-issue (with bonus disc) of a highly influential record, first released in 1996 and out of print since 1999. It sold about 40,000 copies the first time around, but, as with the Velvet Underground, sometimes you get the feeling that everyone who bought it started up a band in the vein of these erratic, eccentric, and eclectic musical scavengers. Sadly, there’s never going to be another Neutral Milk Hotel CD. But, for diehard fans, Black Foliage is far more than a surrogate for Jeff Mangum’s crackpot folk vision. It’s as ambitious, as improbably cohesive, and as dreamily satisfying as In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, and furthermore it's haunted by many of the same ghosts. The eerie wail of a singing saw on track 13, “I Have Been Floated?,” that could only be—and it is—Neutral Milk Hotel's Julian Koster. Mangum himself contributes melodica, vocals and sound effects from his extensive library of found sonics. Apples (in Stereo)'s Robert Schneider sings here and plays guitar there. Feels like old times. (Andy Smetanka)

We need a Scream video game im the style of DBD/F13/TCM/etc, mixed with Among Us.
I want a game full of characters from the movies (including especially my useless faves). You have them run around like chickens trying to survive Ghostface, all while players have to work together to figure who Ghostface is.
Ghostface players can be solo (a la Scream 3), an Iconic Duo, or a team of 3-4. And any character can be a killer! Maybe you can pick different motives? Each characters will have 2-3 preset motives you can choose from, including the canon motive for canon GFs.
I want them to be voiced by the actual actors. And I want them to have special voice lines with each other; at least characters who have some form of relationship, for sure.

Come for the movie; stay for the music
I got a text from a neighbor Wednesday saying she was watching a show loaded with Lord Huron music.
It was the 2015 Robert Redford/Nick Nolte movie "A Walk in the Woods" - an adaptation of travel writer Bill Bryson's popular book about his attempt to hike the Appalachian Trail. It's now showing on Netflix.
To be honest, the movie itself is mediocre. The New York Times critic called it "A Scenic Trek Spoiled." I would call it a fine soundtrack squandered.
LH songs in the movie include "The Birds are Singing at Night." "She Lit a Fire," "The Ghost on the Shore," "Brother (Last Ride)" and "Ends of the Earth."
It's on Netflix until Aug. 19.

Do you know what I want to see?
Teenage Sam Carpenter. We've heard a little from Amber, but that was about it. And we know she knows Kirby because of Scream 6, so I want to see people's interpretations about that time in her life from what we've heard and gathered. Maybe knowing Jill and the friend group. Maybe knowing Vince and actually telling him because he's Stu's nephew.
Also, I really wanna see more of Sam's addiction and the aftermath. Because in Scream 6, she's nearly 10 years sober. It's probably ten years, maybe 9-8. And it's never touched on the fact she's a currently sober ex drug addict who probably checked herself into Rehab or went too far and got admitted. Tara never said anything. Danny never said anything when she smoked. Assuming he knew because he knew a lot like everyone did but the public were strangers, he's not. It's never touched upon. And how hard it must've been to keep her sobriety when Scream 5 and 6 happened and she blamed herself. And how it affected her life. Especially when she got sent to the hospital for Scream 5 and 6. They can't give her anything actually strong, or she has bigger chances of a relapse.
