iPhone-Wielding Hipsters Ruining It For Other iPhone-Wielding Hipsters

Neutral Milk Hotel recluse Jeff Mangum will be making a rare appearance at a benefit show here in town this May, and it’s already causing controversy!

Since the show will certainly sell out quickly no matter what, we’ll be honest and say that while there is no artist we’d rather see perform than Mangum (in the world), the fact that every single person there will be holding up a Flip Cam or iPhone to record it, ruining the moment and breaking our hearts, means we will be skipping the show and waiting for the YouTube footage to be uploaded that night. (And no, the irony of that isn’t lost on us.)

This is the best excuse I’ve heard to avoid making a charitable contribution yet. Also, probably true.
