Oberst is one of those songwriters who is very place/time specific for me. I both swoon and cringe at some of his songs the same way that I would reading my old journals or posts. Way more cringing than swooning. Glad he's still performing, I guess. I wondered to myself what he was doing just a few days ago, weirdly enough.

The only Bright Eyes song I ever want to listen to anymore is Light Pollution.

I tried to get into Bright Eyes with their two 2005 albums (something about vaguely irritating singer-songwriter types putting out multiple albums that year), but the only songs I ever really liked were "At the Bottom of Everything" (though I always fast-forwarded through that long, silly spoken word part at the beginning) and "Arc of Time." It was tough getting past the singing.

I could never get past the way he looked. They cloned him well for emo spiderman.

Having listened to a few songs, yeah.

I like Conor in supergroups (Monsters of Folk and this new thing) but a little goes a long way.

If The Brakeman Turns My Way is an great song with brilliant lyrics and a catchy AF melody. I adore it still.

[Strat]

no thanks

Strat, I adore you, but that's weird.

Strat, I adore you, but that's weird.

Look, i already didnt like Bright Eyes circa 2001 or whenever was a music darling. Never hit the sweet spot for me. The Emo spiderman just makes me feel better about it all.
