Conor Oberst has a sexy exciting new album
 

And he's imaginitively titled it Conor Oberst. I know he gets a lot of hatred directed towards him for various reasons, but this new album of his sounds entirely different to his work with Bright Eyes, and he's actually learned how to sing lately!

www.conoroberst.com/album is streaming tracks.

"Souled Out!!" and "Danny Callahan" both sound like a vocally enhanced Pavement. It's going to be interesting to hear the rest of the album- I've heard 'Cape Canaveral' live and as far as I remember it's pretty sweet too. 'NYC-Gone, Gone' is wonderful..

Anyway folks, give those tracks a listen and offer your opinions. Don't come in here and start kicking off saying how much you hate Conor please, I know he's a hot potato but there's no need for it.

I was thinking about seeing him Sept 22. $30. I'm still undecided as I have another show the next night. The plus about Conner is that he is within walking distance. I wouldn't mind seeing him live, I guess.

I am definitely getting tickets to see him, August 28th. I think he is past his years of shambolic drunken and coked-up gigs, after all that 'spiritual cleansing' that he went through in recent years, I think he's just a smoker now.

This new band has a really warm and friendly feel to them, I'm listening to a bootleg from one of their warm-up shows before the world tour begins and they're tight as if they've been playing for years.

I would have loved to see his drunken days, were it not for his audience. But the time for that is past, and it's good to him cleaning up.

I'll listen to the new CD a bit later.

Bright Eyes live last year was an amazing, very tight show. Finale was all three bands of the night together, with Janet Weiss on drums. I would love to see him live again.. this stuff great.

thats not possible.

okay that sounds a lot like pavement

Pfft Bright Eyes.

More like, Shite Guys

hah.

Bright Eyes is definitely in the top 10 worst bands I've heard in my life.

I have a hard time asscociating an adjective like ''sexy'' with anything to do with Tired Eyes.

It's released August 4th if you're interested

and also

THIS IS NOT BRIGHT EYES, Mike Mogis has nothing to do with it.

HA! :D

Pfft.

Lame..

Unlame.

mmmmmm, hot potato with tuna salad.mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

snore

lifted was the last good one mr emo dylan was involved with.

liked his show

You're all jealous, that's what you are.

meh

Everyone in Casa de Himself is dancing to this album right now

Danny, this board is too indie for such a musician.

I'd sleep with him.

I know, but I feel better when nobody agrees with me.

I agree with you. Sorry.

This man is attractive but his music is terrible.

this is seriously the stupidest thing i've ever seen:

The song is absolutely ridiculously shitty but the part where he smashes the guitar and the dude smashes his trumpet in time with it is spinal tap worthy, like a parody of "political folk rock" or something. So bad.

hey is this the correct thread where we discuss our poop?

why, yes!

I used to listen to Bright Eyes a lot and I always liked that song but you're right, watching that wimp smash a guitar is hilarious.

I seriously think Bright Eyes is a joke band. I'm glad he's killing it finally.

Prettttyyyy fuckin bad. No need for Bright Eyes in this world. Everything he's ever tried to do I've heard done better on "Nebraska".

It's one of those bands I can't avoid in my social life(one girl I know is a major major major fan). Makes me want to throw rocks at every emo haircutted guy with a guitar.

Yeah shitty mcshit shit. He appealed to me when I was 12 though, I dunno what I heard back then.

@freelife57199 and how when he's angry, he actually sounds really pissed off, and when he's sad, his voice is even more trembly, and when he's happy, his voice is soft. and how his lyrics are so clever and real.. <333
