Bright Eyes Six Pack

Stream a half dozen songs from the bright young singer/songwriter you're sick of reading about in every magazine. The Dylan comparisons are overreaching perhaps, but check out this piece from the Voice. The last sentence made me laugh.

I've had both downloaded for a month and a half now. They're good, I slightly prefer Digital Ash. I got legit copies today because I have a music store hookup. The artwork is sweet.

I couldn't read through the whole piece, because I'm sick of music critics overanalyzing oberst's lyrics. But i will say that that last line was pretty genius. so random...

I love the artwork on the new CDs, especially the ones inside Digital Ash. (You can get them at the shows as well.)

Well i've never been a big bright eyes fan, something about them just doesn't settle with me, but i'm suprised at how much responce they have received and may give these albums a try

I hate that Conor is more and more into the magazines I don't like that he is becoming some sex idol in vegas (Where i live)
I liked it when only people who just liked him for his music was his fans, but I do wish he has his fun
I will always admire him for what he has to say
i don't think you could ever not even if you tried, hate the person who is little ways changed you life<3

Yea well said, I totally agree. But then he's an exceptional poet/singer/performer and people are realising that. He's got so far completly on his own- hats off to him, there's been little money behind the label. Shows that it can be done really.
