An industry insider told me Bright Eyes really likes Slint.


I'm lying, I'm sorry. I just wanted to mention Slint.

Um, do you know Alexander Payne as well?

yeah, he and tim kasher and all of the faint and i used to go cow tipping every friday.

WHOA

You've been cow tipping?

I'm totally jealous.

I agree that Bright Eyes is pretentious (and a fairly annoying human being), his fans even more so than him.

But i'm going to have to say Not Crap
I saw him on his Lifted tour, and I was actually impressed. He had around 15 people on stage with him (3 drummers!)- and it was beautiful.

Some of his songs are pretty awful, but I think he's written enough good ones to NOT be classified as CRAP

conor is a dick. i saw them in milw here, and said hey, your alright and hes all like im a rock star and im gonna screw a 13 y/old girl, and your gonna go home and watch the news, and im gonna be on the news. then he smacked me so hard, that my face flew off my body like a cartoon, then he tried to get with my wife, but she is 27 so hes all like you 15 years too old, and stuff. the i got up and ran away, with natalie in tow......


no seriously he is a dick. i tried to talk to him once, during that 10min that i thought i liked bright (brown) eye(s)...

gae crap

his music is the main reason i don't tell people i listen to "indie rock". he also rudely tried to get into my girlfriends panties once.

I read that he totally ruined one of his shows by showing up drunk, being really angry and sloppy, and ending the set really early. I think that's High Crap.

I know this girl. She's a crap-o-meter. Anything she likes is always crap and anything she dislikes is awesome. Bright eyes is her favorite band.

I think I used to date this girl. The only good bands she liked were Cheap Trick and The Cars. She didn't even like The Ramones! She did however like The Mr. T Experience and the Alan Parsons Project. Bright Eyes are her favorite band.

I haven't heard this yet, but I did read the lyrics, and the fact that he did it on the Tonight Show demonstrates some balls.
