Hooray! I would assume that quite a few people like NMH here. It's just old so they might not listen to it as much as they used to.
Pavement is not at all similar to NMH. They were your standard 90s indie band. I think this is fairly representative of their work: .
I see that you are from Scotland. Hooray for Mogwai, Belle and Sebastian, Arab Strap, and Idlewild!
I only discovered them a couple of years ago but they're definitely one of my favourite bands ever. In the Aeroplane Over The Sea to me is the most perfect album ever recorded. I can't think of anything else in my collection that I've listened to or thought about as much. If only Jeff Mangum would make more music. It kills me to to think I'll probably never be able to see them live.
Belle & Sebastian rock my socks off too.
If you're a Neutral Milk Hotel fan, also try Olivia Tremor Control, Apples in Stereo, and Of Montreal. They are part of a group of bands with common band members called the Elephant 6 Collective.
Pavement is great too, but very "mainstream" in the indie world.
Cool, thanks for the tips. I do have a bunch of Of Montreal songs somewhere but I never really gave them a proper listen. I'll check out the others you mentioned though.
In other news, today I have been listening to lots of Regina Spektor and Peaches, which is a bit of an unusual mix...
