bright eyes' fanbase reminds me of some high schooler's fanatical
obsession with _catcher in the rye_.
must like most people dont really 'get' that book, track 11 on the new
bright eyes cd would suggest the same about his music.
im all for calling it not so much an age thing, just a 'present
regardless of how serious that interview should or shouldnt be taken, its
annoying as hell.
that album is a serious step down for him.
ok...how many people are going to tell me i just dont get it?

when you say 'indie snob' are you referring to yourself?
who cares if some faceless internet persona thinks bright eyes sound like
counting crows and smog.

i too had to devote an entire semester to that one book and i am overjoyed
that i had such an opportunity. if all you can say is that ulysses is

someone like james joyce is pretty much above sophmoric adjectives like

i dont know who on this list is into radiohead or not, but i came across a
site that has a few, new live songs on it. go to this url, scroll down to
the bottom where it says 'Concert enregistr le 17 juin 2000 Frejus,' and
there you will see a live show with scattered new songs. now, theyre

yeah, bright eyes is opening. in boston, they're playing first of three
bands...which means a super short set. oh well. as for the cancelled tour,
saddle creek's site says nothing, so who knows how true that was.

well, since bright eyes has become an ON topic item, i can safely post
about them today. there is a dbl cd compilation that just came out with a
new bright eyes song on it. you all should get it. on top of bright eyes

robert- tired of people using gay as a derogatory term.
before 10 people jump down your throat and try to validate their usage of
that term with the "well, its just how people talk, you cant say its
wrong since people use words differently and calling people on it is
ineffectual" explanation,
off topic..anyways..that is

welli only said that because one of my very first posts to the list
was questioning some guy's use of said derogatory term. i called it
passively homophobic, actually. in any event, i was quickly flogged on

a mix from LP2 and how it feels i kinda liked it and alot bands are
thats a fair comparison. the first half is a little more uptempo, the last
a little more like how it feels. i like it a lot...obviously.
slowing down their music to an "emoish" sound now... which is crazy.

Bright Eyes is the most fantastic songwriter of this year.
if such a title could be given, id thrust it upon danny leo. wholeheartedly.
unfortunately, no one really cares. he'll go as unheard as his brothers.

while vactioning here in europe i made a separate email address from this

weeks. i have like 800 emails here. so im trying to go through them and

they have steadily gotten better - their first two albums are nothing
compared to their newest two. im probably in the minority on this one,

its effrim and thierry (and maybe sophie?) from godspeed.
the new camera obscura is really good, but i'd recommend seeing them live on
the tour they're currently doing before
heres a newsflash for ya, dude. i own the cd containing the lyrics i
ripped. thats right, its sitting right here, alphabetized in between the
new mercury program and maximillian colby. its okay if i dont like
lyrics, you know? just becuase i dont like the ones on that song and think
they are far
uh oh, i think i opened a rather large can of worms. anyone is free to
debate this with me off the list, because i doubt many care, but i contend
(along with a vocal minority) that emo is long dead and in the ground. i
dont really want to take the time to explain that comment right now, but

Yes, that is a great record. I got it back in December and played it two
weeks straight. It's different than Tristeza, though. Tristeza is a lot
more jangly and melodic. Southpacific uses drone guitar stuff with bits

i dont think it would be a palatka rip off seeing as how lots of bands
this did before them. but in any event, palatka rules. their early stuff
was way better than that last one sided lp thoughi didnt expect to
find too many palatka fans on this list. do yo ulike end of the century

there was an article about quasi and sleater-kinney in ELLE magazine
too. i think this is a good thing.
thats pretty crazy. if someone told me three years ago that sleater kinney

well, i heard the rumor that they may open for pearl jam somewhere else
too - so i think that we took that cryptic email correctly (your
disection of cowboy dan was kinda funny, though). on pearl jam, i cant
believe anyone thinks that their later stuff is even tolerable. no
code and yield are
the liners as a matter of fact.
