Elephant 6 members living together in late 90′:

from ‘Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea’ by Kim Cooper, 2005

transcript:

The Elephant 6 collective settled themselves into a series of communal Athens houses. Jeff’s base was 156 Grady Avenue, an old wood-frame house on a lovely street lined with big trees. Officially, the house was split into two apartments—an old law on the Athens books forbids more than two unrelated people from sharing a dwelling—but the residents only engaged the padlocks closing off the two halves when the Fire Marshall visited. One room was covered in aluminum foil (that’s one of the walls, picked out with stars, on the back of On Avery Island).

Jeff shared the Grady Avenue house with Julian Koster, Robbie Cucchiaro, Laura Carter and Bryan Poole. As might be expected, it was a very loud place to live. Bryan lived between Jeff and Julian’s rooms. “I had Jeff pacing the room with his acoustic guitar, belting out at the top of his lungs, working through the songs. It was a really intense thing. And then I’ve got Julian on the other side, who’s bouncing a kick-ball for percussion, stomping his foot, and recording the same song fifty times! Every day! After I moved out, Will Hart moved in for like two weeks and he couldn’t take it.”
