This was a poor choice for the late night shows, they should have let boesel sing eagle on a pole or difference is time. This is probably my least favorite of conor's songs
@CHOCOBOizm not true. there were like five songs on outer south he didn't even write. and he has said in many interviews that in bright eyes he mostly just writes the words and the chord progressions and that mike mogis and nate walcott do a lot of the arrangements.
Conor Oberst is an absolute pro at what he does. He has been releasing virtually flawless records for most of his life, with pretty much no breaks. His music and lyrics are obviously well thought out and his albums have very little, if any, filler. Most artists/bands are luck if they release 1 or 2 great albums and their lifetime, and Conor has consistently released quality music since the beginning of his career. Very few artists have that kind of talent.
Bright Eyes is no more --- aside from maybe one more future release. Conor does want to go solo and do this own thing. This is his new sound -- a far cry from Cartoon Blues, although Cassadaga was a major stepping stone for him as a songwriter. I like his new sound. It's much more traditional but he has an all-star of singer/songwriters around him including Nik Freitas & Taylor Hollingsworth. The album is more popping but I believe Conor is changed, he isn't that young angry adolescent anymore!
mystica valley, bright eyes, its just a name to me, he still pouring out with amazing talented music. i saw him on the cassadaga tour and on a tv show. sounds soo good live.
well, if you follow his music since before fevers and mirrors. its not, his other music in bright eyes is more about him and girls and things happening with his life mostly. As his age progressed, so did his music. that is the reason for cassadaga and now a different band. If youre unclear as to why he named it completely different, "Mystic Valley Band", it is because Mogis is not playing with him. You know that red hairedc guy. yeah him. Still and always will be amazing like you said.
Yeah i know mike mogis is missing from this band, and i know he played multiple instruments and all that is what makes bright eyes, but it might just be me, but it doesnt sound to me like hes missing. and i think the lates mystic valley album far better than cassadaga, i love his albums but cassadaga just sounded to slow for me i guess.. thats true he doesnt really sing love songs about girls, he sings about more deeper things. i dont know if i added anything to this conversation but yeah!
Gotta love that Waddle he does

he went from coke sniffing, cigarette puffing indie gid, to a weed smokin hippie star,
if tat makes sense, and don mean it in a badway, everything he does is very influential
just listen to alot of the new kiddie bands out now, theyre all takin a big bite off conor oberst cake.
