Post by: imapiratearg on 17 Sep 2006, 21:14

so is Connor Oberst (spelling?), the guy that does Bright Eyes, is he some kind of indie god or something?  i will admit he is extremely talented and i am currently addicted to/learning his song "First Day of My Life".  but i've seen him mentioned frequently in the comics.

Shut up Gryff.

It was some picture from Blender or Spin or something where he was like, hopping on rocks or something? I don't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure I saw it here.

I'm formulating a theory that Conor Oberst is actually John Conor, incognito, and that he's going to defeat SkyNet using the tremulous power of indie music.  Of course, what this means is that instead of being ruled by robots, the planet will be ruled by indie kids, and consequently humanity will quickly die out just as surely as if the robots had stayed on top because everybody will shut themselves away in their room listening to their Cure and Smiths re-issues and never quite building up the courage to go and ask out that cute guy/girl they've had a crush on for the past three years, and thus the reproductive rate will go into free-fall.

WRONG

The penchant for stripey, long-sleeved shirts? The ridiculous haircuts? The brooding? OH GOD, THE BROODING

Case closed.

Has anyone else noticed how frighteningly misproportioned that guy looks in the rock-jumping picture? Why is his head that huge? This man, he is scary.

that second picture makes connor look like he's got trent reznor's neck. except in real life that'd be the weirdest combination ever and the world would probably explode.

i could crush connor oberst. maybe one day i will.

In the third picture, he appears to be wearing a knit sweater with a skull wearing either earmuffs or headphones.  I never thought I'd like something involving Conor Oberst, but there you go.

I can see where they come from, but it's pretty much blaspheming to compare him to Dylan.

Title: ummm....
Post by: Mogman on 19 Sep 2006, 08:17

Mah?
Dylan has more or less said he couldn't give a fuck about music and just did it because it sold and earnt him a bit of cash...

Indie musicians are more attention whores with very limited talents, not including songwriting...

*Cough* Did i say that out loud?

Title: ummm....
Post by: jcknbl on 19 Sep 2006, 11:45

And everyone knows that Bob Dylan is always completely sincere and serious in everything he says.
