With two successful solo albums under his belt, as well as the forthcoming Monsters of Folk collaboration with Jim James and M. Ward, it seemed inevitable that Conor Oberst would outgrow the Bright Eyes moniker he used during his 7-album climb to...

From Zeropaid.comAs we all know, most record labels these days are working overtime to keep their music off of P2P and file-sharing networks. Saddle Creek, on the other hand, is one of the few who has decided to instead embrace the technology. The Omaha-based label is offering up free tracks as part of a Saddle Creek Sampler 2007 that highlights some of last years biggest hits. "The idea is to ...

So I was reading an entry on wikipedia (that ever-reliable source) about M. Ward and came across this snippet of gossip which caused me to splurge my coffee at the computer screen (metaphorically) in shock..."According to the Omaha City Weekly: ...Also with recording plans for the winter is Conor Oberst. Beginning in the new year, Oberst is slated to begin recording two new albums — one a solo .

Hey all, I just I'd share with you my thoughts on who I think took the cake for album of the year in 2007. Although there were a lot of releases this year by almost all of my favorite artists I think there was one that totally blew any of them out of the water and caught me off guard as well. Cassadaga by Bright Eyes is probably not just the best record I've heard this year but now holds a plac...

I know, I turned into one of those people that starts an account somewhere and then never goes back to it. I'm sorry. I just didn't give myself enough time to get used to the site. I'll try better this time because I really like the idea of this site. Anyway, Sunday I drove two hours and sat in DC traffic for half an hour to go see Bright Eyes! I wouldn't have missed it for the world. It was am...

Two weeks from Monday, thousands of people will pack into the Radio City Music hall to hear Conor Oberst and Bright Eyes. The Felice Brothers will be opening up for him.I've been an Oberst fan for a couple of years. I'm surprised that I'm just now getting around to seeing him live. Hopefully he'll be pulling out all the stops since he's playing at such a high-end venue.This post is my pre-gam...

Now, I've never presented myself as a bellwether of all things cool. In fact, I consider myself hopelessly uncool. Not that that's a bad thing, most of the time.Well, I've been reading through the end-of-year best of 2007 lists, and Bright Eyes' Cassadega and Ryan Adams' Easy Tiger are showing up prominently. I find myself perplexed. Neither artist has ever appealed to me, but I don't want to b...

Drink less. MOG more. Waste less time. Seize more days, do more things. Take time to think. Stop rushing forward, admire the view. Spend less money. Do more work.As even the most resilient of New Year Resolutions have long been consigned to the dustbin of good intentions, another set of transient promises flit across your mind. The odd moment of lucidity. The day you think you have it figured o...

What better way to sign off for the holiday season than with a double bill of Christmas covers? Well, I can't think of any right now, so this will have to do... First off, we have Bright Eyes taking on God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, followed by (if you kindly scroll down to comments) Arcade Fire's Jingle Bell rock. And why not throw in a cute indie elf for good measure? Merry Christmas Moggers!

Live music is better.....bumper stickers should be issued. Bright Eyes seems to be as polarizing as a presidential election. His fans are devoted, his detracters are scornful. I am a fan in that anyone who can come up with "I'm Wide Awake Its Morning" is an artist to watch. Granted "Morning" is an artistic trap....there's no where to go from there...as an artist one backs away slowly & caut...
