@Onedaywecanflyaway No, he had a bunch of solo stuff before he was in Commander Venus. Check out "Heres to Special Treatment" and "Water". Those albums were both before this.
I knew him in college and we still pal around. Can't wait to see him during the book tour, we're supposed to do an acoustic set/book signing in the midwest, hopefully out east for a couple dates. Cassadaga my novel comes out in January of 2010. find me on my space if you're interested.
I'm just stating facts, that God is just a creation of man to explain things in history and nature. There's no proof of God, and there never will be. I wonder why.
this video is rated 4.5 stars? i cant believe anyone would even think for a second that this is a less than 5 star song. Im addicted to Conors music, i love hearing him when he was younger.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I just remembered why he's one of my favorite artists...How I could forget I don't know. It's tempting to dig out the black hoody and turn emo again though...
Just to clear up the confusion from before, the song playing is "My Other Car Is A Spaceship" by Commander Venus, Conor Oberst's first project as a kid (before Bright Eyes). Todd Fink and Matt Bowen of The Faint and Tim Kasher of Cursive were also in Commander Venus.
When I went to see Bright Eyes, it amazed me how young Conor's fans are. I'm 28 and I know Conor is like 27, if not 28 himself STILL it was shocking to see a ton of 14 and 15 year old kids at his show.
thats because there are some teenagers that feel very misplaced in their age group and are very unsatisfied with the music that is categorised with their generation
that's kind of what the guys who will never be as comfortable to be as sensitive as him say. plus. you don't see people swoowing to pics of you now do you?
You're comment made me smile, for that i thank you :)
Is it worse for a man to not be in touch with his feminine side or worse to not be in touch with his male side? I suppose my four thumbs down answers that query.
he truly intrigues me. I wonder things when I see his face. Not a lot of people can make people think just by being there, let alone make them wonder.
he gives me chills woww i just love conor oberst...and all his imperfections=] it's just something i can't put in words...but i'm sure some of you know what i mean.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
it says in description... its commander venus playing and singing. and if that is connor singing in the background then im sorry for being harsh about it but the main singer isnt connor, its an actual girl.
god this is incredible. ive never heard anything from commander venus, so thank you. how old were they when they recorded this song? his voice hasn't even changed yet ...
I love how everyone's opinions regarding Conor get marked as spam and you have to click "show" to see them. Hah, one girl was just saying her boyfriend was hot and her stuff got booted
What's funny is how much he's changed. during his teens, i swear, if you stuck him in with MCR, he'd fit in (with looks, not styles of music). good song, for a little kid. i need to find commander venus. [xxbella]
LOL Conor was an ugly little kid. But he is such a hottie now. Mmmm. And as for the song, I think he sounds much better now but the lyrics are really good, especially for an 11 year old!
Yes, Conor Oberst is a spitting image of Peter Petrelli!!! Yay I'm not crazy!! I think I prefer Conor Oberst singin after he went thru puberty. funny how it was all high and now he has a gravelly singin voice...
i also just found out that this version of the song was performed with the members of commander venus before the band had actually been grouped together (when he was around 15)
tres magnifique. ^.^ awesome. awesome. awesome. makes me feel like i can do anything even tho im 14. just awesome. hes awesome. bright eyes is also phenomenal. awesome.....aaarrgghhh im a pirate!
There is something so satisfying about watching picures of Conor dance across the screen. I love that you put "my other car" in the background, it makes him even cuter.
i need the tabs
preferably chords.
