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

Another MoF album would be lovely for sure, only problem would be for all four to have a clear schedule I suppose? ???

That may be my favorite song on the album.

It is very, very good. I keep trying to decide which one I like more, but I put one on and go, this one probably, when the next one comes, no this one, or this one... :D Right now it's probably Beginner's Mind and Haile Selassie though and Ladder Song and... ;)

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

Denny Brewer, singer and guitarist for the father/son band, Refried Ice Cream. :)

I've loved all of his side projects and stuff. I liked MOF much more than the mystic valley band. I like his self-titled album with MVB much more than outer south though. I used a netflix rental to get "Spend an evening with Saddle Creek" a documentary on the album labels roots. It is very interesting to see him when he was so young just getting started. I recommend it to any big fan. I figure the MOF will sit down next winter after a big year for MMJ with the release of the new album. That means the new MOF album will be in our hands in the fall of 12 or winter or 13. In my opinion anyway

just checking back in- for me, the album hasn't grabbed me yet... kind of unfortunate as I want to like it and have concert tickets - It's interesting, I respect it, but the songs aren't growing on me. I'll keep trying :-\

lol @ the shell games music video. conor trying to be the gay guy from the cure.

The official video for Shell Games:

Bright Eyes - Shell Games

I won't lie, I'm not an immediate fan of the video, but maybe it will grow on me. The album took a little while to sink in too.

Most Bright Eyes videos suck.

At first thought I was like, yeah that's true, but then I thought I really like the First Day of My Life video and that Easy/Lucky/Free one and Four Winds come to think of it and At the Bottom of Everything and even the one for Hot Knives. Only one that I don't like is Lover I Don't Have to Love and well, Bowl of Oranges is okay, it's just that the quality of the YouTube versions are kind of bad. I haven't made my mind up about Coyote Song just yet and I agree with you miss HS, not an immediate fan of the new video, but it might grow on me.
