A while back, a friend mentioned Bright Eyes to me. While I was crawling around AudioGalaxy I picked up a bunch of songs (well, pretty much everything out there, that’s pretty much how I like downloading songs… and unfortunately, buying albums, or more accurately, catalogues). A few weeks back, I did end up buying a mess of Saddle Creek albums, and while I’m still digesting, there’s definitely some good stuff. I’ve been listening to this one song for months and am still in love with it.
It’s sort of strange thinking that the singer/songewriter Conor Oberst is the same age as I am. In some ways it makes me think I should be doing more with my life, but in other ways, it just reminds me what I’ve invested my time in. It’s good to see people really doing something well though. Hmm, that ramble led nowhere. Anyway, it’s pretty cool in any case. He’s also in/been in: Commander Venus and Desaparecidos, both of which have some cool songs but whose albums I don’t have.
