^_^ Then I'll most definitely look into it more.

Oh god is anyone else as excited as i am about monsters of folk?

It does look rad but I'm not big on M. Ward...still their Bob Dylan cover was rad.

It combines my 3 favorite artists in one band. It's awesome.

Covers i have one of Conor's Bob Dylan covers in my journal for download. he's covered about 3 - 4 songs from Bob Dylan. i only have the one he did with ryan adams though.

i am very excited for monsters of folk. bright eyes is easily one of my favorite bands. great great music. at first, i had to let it grow on me (started listening to it at age twelve), but after so many listens, the music never gets old. the mystic valley band is also great.

bright eyes reccomendations:
lime tree
you will
a song to pass the time
clairaudients
no one would riot for less
coat check dream song
ship in a bottle
old soul song
we are nowhere and it's now

conor oberst and mvb reccomendations:
cape canaveral
nyc- gone gone
milk thistle
souled out!!!
to all the lights in the windows
white shoes
nikorette
snake hill
big bad nothing

Bright eyes songs you should never recommend to new listeners:
Coat Check Dream Song - it doesn't represent bright eyes on a whole, it mostly represents itself
Lime Tree - I hear even current fans complaining about how annoying this song is because it builds and builds with no dramatic change like they were expecting.

any song that begins a bright eyes album - because there's always a long usually annoying intro:

A Spindle, a Darkness, a Fever, and a Necklace
The Big Picture
At the Bottom of Everything
Time Code
Clairaudients (Kill or Be Killed)
Mirrors & Fevers

That doesn't mean you should write off the entire song, At The Bottom Of Everything is one of the best songs off I'm Wide Awake in my opinion.. if you can't sit through his little minute long monologue then that's too bad.

i can, but what i'm sying is that a lot of people don't like listening to long intos. maybe getting it from Motion Sicknees would work, i don't think there's an intro on it for that.

I never said anything about new listeners. Those are just my favorites. And the intros dont make the song bad, even if there is a new listener. My first bright eyes song was At the Bottom of Everything. I liked it just fine
