Ever notice that Jeff Mangum’s sister looks strangely like Anne Frank? That’s because she is Anne Frank. Jeff clearly traveled back in time to save her, since, as we all know, his opus In The Aeroplane Over The Sea as Neutral Milk Hotel was based on her life and writings that he so admired.

Ever notice that Jeff Mangum’s sister looks strangely like Anne Frank? That’s because she is Anne Frank. Jeff clearly traveled back in time to save her, since, as we all know, his opus In The Aeroplane Over The Sea as Neutral Milk Hotel was based on her life and writings that he so admired. 

Check out Jeff’s sister Coraline side-by-side with Anne Frank:

But wait, it gets better. Anne was given the fake identity of “Coraline Mangum,” changed again to Astra Taylor as she matured, eventually marrying Jeff. Astra is a well-regarded documentarian who states that she did not attend school until after age 13 owing to the beliefs of her progressive bohemian parents. Actually, she was simply brought forward through time by Jeff Mangum around that age. 

And undoubtedly, the resemblance is uncanny: 

So yeah. That’s all for now until my next post, when I single-handedly prove that Julian Koster founded the United States of America.

The late Bill Doss sang lead and wrote a few of the great songs on this one, inc. “Wings Away.” RIP (Taken with Instagram at Amoeba Music)

Take care floating up there, Mr. Doss….

Lest we forget this otherwordly collaboration between The Apples in stereo and the Powerpuff Girls.

I used to think the first song of The Apples that I heard was “Energy” as it was included I believe as a sample song with Windows XP machines. (Or was it another Windows system? I think Vista had something by The Posies…) But, now that I see this and think about it, this was definitely the first Apples song I ever heard, way back before I had any idea who they were or what Elephant 6 was. Before “In The Aeroplane Over The Sea” was even released!
