Conor Oberst, Bright Eyes, Mystic Valley Band etc.

I'm also listening to One Jug of Wine, Two Vessels right now... the not-bright eyes songs are really good.

Wooah, wooaah, are you saying the Bright Eyes songs on that one aren't good! :o Happy Accident is excellent, no arguing mister! ;) I'm a huge fan of Rollerskating though, and all the other Neva Dinova songs on there too, but Spring Cleaning was written by Conor... both versions are excellent, but I think the Conor version might be just a tad better 'cause of the piano.

Yay, sounds great! I can't wait to get mine! :D Guess it might take a while longer for it to get to Sweden though...

Sara, have you seen any setlists from the past couple of nights? I figured you would be attending a couple of them. So far not one person has posted anything about the new shows and it's killing me. I can't wait to find out what they are gonna be playing live for the new tour. I saw in one interview where he said that they were gonna be doing a lot of the older songs in the same style as the new record and they are gonna be touring with a lot of new equipment as well as two new huge keyboard rigs. Should be wonderful...

Me too! I wonder how much they'll change it around? I read this morning that Conor said they got 200 shows booked this year (http://www.heraldscotland.com/arts-ents/music-reviews/bright-eyes-oran-mor-glasgow-1.1084293), that sounds to me like you'd want to mix it up a little, at least after a 100 shows or so...  ;)

[SaraBananaBear]

Singularity is really f*ckin good yall.

Indeed, it took me a few listens, but now I really love it too :) Which song is your album favorite though, still  beginner's mind?

Yup, they were supposed to playn Poison Oak (the second time), but some lady shouted out for Something Vague until Conor eventually said that he'd be a human jukebox and play it again.  ???

Yeah, this album is growing on me a lot. I may try and attend this Nashville show now.

It is a really good album. I wasn't so sure my first listen but now that I have listened to it for a few days it has really grown on me. I honestly couldn't tell you a favorite song because each one has something in it I really like. I really hope he continues to make Bright Eyes songs. I know I had had a ball at their shows over the last 5 or 6 years. I'm so glad they are visiting the south on this tour...

Sounds great, it'd be nice to see some forum member reviews  :)

I have a hard time picking a favorite song too, it they're all so good and they just keep getting better the more I listen to them. If Conor does take a break from Bright Eyes, I wonder what he'll do instead? What did you think of his solo album and the MVB stuff? I loved all of it,  I even like the rap... ;)

Team Rigge - Fun Fun Destruction (feat Conor Oberst)

[e_wind]

I hope for a follow up Monsters of Folk album everyday. Thats what should happen next in Conor's future.

[hacksaw]

who the hell said naming a song haile selassie isnt okay? i dont understand this.

[e_wind]

That may be my favorite song on the album.

[touchingmept2]

So who's the guy speaking on the first track?
