anybody like bright eyes

BigBossBassist · 10-22-2005, 09:54 PM

i just wanna know because i really like them and like nobody talks about them or anything

rbv · 10-22-2005, 10:11 PM

Not really. I like the odd song but as a whole it's a meh. Listen to sufjan stevens or something.

Oh yeah and some people here hate him with a passion.

You should probably consult Zmev on the subject at hand.

I think he's ok, not up the whole hype that he has. He has a few songs I like, specifically "Bowl Of Oranges."

It must be annoying having a cult-like following of teenage girls.

I despise him.

***Zappa*** · 10-22-2005, 11:14 PM

I've only ever heard him on Austin City limits. And couldn't enjoy it even a tiny bit.

RollerQueen · 10-22-2005, 11:22 PM

sr800bkAGAIN! · 10-22-2005, 11:26 PM

That performance was absolutely horrible, and that's coming from a fan.

Conor Oberst rises above so many other musicians as an amazingly original and prolific songwriter. Heaps of critics call him "whiny" and whatnot, but the guy clearly has an uncommonly strong tie to his music and a natural talent rarely seen. And while many of his early songs are pretty pathetic, remember that they were for the most part recorded before he even hit nineteen—and even then the music is honest as hell.
