hmm, I can sing and write lyrics about as well as Conor Oberst

[recursivelyenumerable]

I also kinda look like him and used to have pretty eyes or whatever, but now I'm too old.  Missed my market window?

[Greatness Gone]

Fucking disgusting. Oberst is a dark spot on homo history.

[recursivelyenumerable]

Actual music is pretty good though.  But then I'm pretty talented musically, so parity there too.

edit: well, some of it is anyway

[TakingBackSunday]

His new album is really cool.  I'm probably in the minority though.  Very Dylan-y, and I like that.

I also think he is an awesome writer, but whatever

[Bloodwake]

I'm a pretty big Bright Eyes fan.

[Mr. Gundam]

Same here. My brother in law played an acoustic cover of "First Day of My Life" in our wedding ceremony.

My wife and I danced our "first dance" to First Day of My Life at our wedding.

We were introduced at the reception to Stars' Elevator Love Letter and also did a group singalong to Neko Case's Thrice All American. That was an awesome night.

I only listen to two albums of his: Fevers & Mirrors and I'm Wide Awake. The latter because it's a great album full of good pop songs and the former for the contrast: the songs are angsty and reek of self pity, lyrics full of stupid imagery, etc. I do like Arienette, a lot. May be my favorite song of his. Just listening to the gap in those two albums shows that he's evolved somewhat. I haven't listened to anything more recent than Wide Awake, maybe I should do so.

[TakingBackSunday]

You don't like Lifted?

I encourage you to listen to his new self-titled album, it's great.

[Darunia]

Because of this thread I'll give Lifted another listen, but it didn't quite grab me the first few times.

I encourage you to listen to his new self-titled album, it's great.

okay

[TakingBackSunday]

Just know it's not stinging with a lot of political commentary and some of his more famous themes that he used in the past.  It's more upbeat and folksy.

Our first dance was to "Sea of Love" covered by Cat Power, and we were introduced at the reception with the first 30 seconds of "O Fortuna" composed by Carmina Burana

Yeah, I just got married in May
