Btw Trolley, I'm loving the Mew avatar. Mew are awesome. Dig it.

No. YOU are awesome. Are you seeing them later this month?



Also, I went to see Bright Eyes at somerset house last night, despite all this. And he did play a blinding set, thanks in no small part to The Faint who were an excellent backing band. When he wants to be good, he's awesome. But he's still a dick.

aye, twas a brilliant gig, both bright eyes and the faint. i really didn't expect as much, from either, going into it, but i'm always more than happy to have those sort of doubt disproved. he rocked man...

trolley:
Totally. My enjoyment was 10-fold just because i was so worried it would suck. In fact, the only crap thing was the morons next to me who
a)Almost started a fight that the whole crowd heard
b) Were chatting all the way through Hit the switch
c)Decided to call out to their mates half way across the venue during the hush of "first day of my live". REBEEEECKAAAAAH!.

If they weren't girls and I wasn't a wuss, i woulda blackeye'd them. Fo Sho'.

muffy:
Conor is a bit of a dick, and rumours are that most of the europe branch of his record label can no longer stand him...
but
he puts on an amazing show -  it's not like the early days when he'd get fucked on a bottle of merlot and then be unable to sing - everything seems to be held together a little more than before.

That said, he was a bit of a mess at the Somerset House gig, with his eyes and nose streaming and his finale of doubling over and vomitting on the stage - but then, that's not as bad as the people who applauded it.

And I'm going to do my bestest to ignore the comment about him resembling Pete Doherty, no matter how true it may be, as I'm still hoping that there's something more strategic in the way Conor's behaving around the press than we think.

ColdSteelRain:
Piont Number 1: Conor Oberst is a jerk and every body knows that.  He plays ok music; he is far from a genius though.  
Point Number 2:  Being drunk or stoned out of your mind is not an excuse for being a jerk.  If you can't handle drugs or alcohol you shouldn't be using them.
Point Number 3:  Although Live 8 wasn't perfect it was a whole lot better than doing nothing.  If you are going to be famous and not try to use your position to make a difference in the world you probably don't deserve the fame in the first place.
