Mangum's absence has only made "Aeroplane" that much more untouchable. The night I received "Her Majesty," I ventured back into Manhattan from Brooklyn, where I live. I took the long way back to the subway as I listened to it, detouring down St. Mark's Place. There, sitting at an outdoor cafe, was Neutral Milk Hotel's Julian Koster, smiling broadly and enjoying the late summer evening. I quickly pushed the headphones off my ears, stunned by the surreality of the moment and, again, with guilt. Of all the issues to be raised by pop music, guilt should not be one of them.
