Bright Eyes

I posted Connor Oberst performing When the President Talks to God on the Tonight Show before. I felt like it was timely to post it again and prove to my female friends I'm not jealous that he dated Jenny Lewis. Actually, I am. Just watch the video.

In other music news: Amanda Marcotte has a music blog. She has really great taste in music. Bookmark her site.

Update: Ryan Adams and Gillian Welch do a beautiful version of Neil Young's Helpless.

Bright Eyes On Pancake Mountain

Pancake Mountain is an incredibly low budget children's show that brings on indie rock bands. Bright Eyes performs the song True Blue.

The exchange at the end between Rufus the Puppet and Conor Oberst is hysterical.

Update: God this is an awful show. It's an emo symphony with two drummers. Sine.Qua.Non will probably chew me out for not liking it, but it's pretentious as hell.

Update: this is an actual Conor Oberst quote from an interview.

BLENDER: Do you own an iPod?

CONOR OBERST: I do. I just got a new one, because mine just made that frown face. I didn't know what to do.

I think I'm going to get sick.
