I'll check it out for sure.

Allow me to elaborate. He obviously makes music to sell records because it is his job, his source of income. What I was going for is there is no fluff or meaningless catchy song he writes to become popular. He doesn't sellout to make his money, not that everyone else does, but he stays true to his belief in music.

You can call me young and naive and I'm ok with that but I believe in my reality.

Love Bright Eyes.
I thought Conor's self titled was better than Cassadaga though

You are completely right. It's so cool to hate Cassadaga but it really was **** compared to the rest of his material.

We really should have bet on how poorly Outer South would be rated by Pitchfork guys.

Anyway I think it's a great album - it's not as good as self-titled but Roosevelt Room is the best song he's written in forever.

:laughing: Artists should just name their albums based on the ratings.
"Pitchfork gave this a 8.3."

Can't say I was too hot about it the first time I listened to it, but I'm sure it'll grow on me like all his material does.

Bright eyes is weeaaak sauuucccccee

I really can't get into Outer South. It just sorta bored me. I'll be weird and say I adore Cassadaga, and dislike his solo work.

I like "Cassadaga" too, don't feel bad... I haven't even given "Outer South" a chance because of the things being said about it.

I had one of the most amazing experiences of my life listening to Bright Eyes.

I got really...chemically altered....and listened to Coat Check Dream Song. I was laying on my bed just going with it, and it took me on a journey I swear. :cool:

Anyway. A lot of their stuff is pretty good. I think the first song I liked by them was Landlocked Blues. Ahh college.

Conor Oberst is like my music hero
