ugh...one of my friends insisted that I go to the bright eyes show earlier this year saying that 'seeing conor live would like totally make you a super fan'. I hate bright eyes even more now.
 
 Also, oberst selects really crappy opening acts. Coco Rosie was the most painful 'band' I've ever seen. ever. Their 'live show' was a screen showing donkeys having oral sex while two chicks screeched like cats being strangled and some dumbass in a headress beat boxed. I would rather have a colonoscopy than go through that evening again.

Saw Bright Eyes on their last trip to the 930 and was underwhelmed. I didn't hate the guy but I just didn't get it. But I did appreciate the underaged eye candy. Girls just didn't look like that when I was in high school.

 I'm tempted to quote a certain line from the film 'Dazed and Confused'...

I'd actually consider this, as long as it's priced right and there are no other shows I want to see that night.

I've seen him 3 times now, and the Digital tour was not his best. This time he'll be backed by a "traditional Bright Eyes lineup." Hopefully he'll play more stuff from Lifted and Fevers and Mirrors

Magic Numbers may be opening.
 
 Same day as Echo, so I'll probably skip this show. I hate Constitution Hall anyway. If he plays Electric Factory, I might make the trip up to Philly the next day.

You must lead a very one dimensional life. Go bowling or something that night.

I concur. Asinine Radiohead covers and underage 'tang aside, there has to be something better to do then see the three princes of MMMbop.

Say it ain't so! The Majic Numbers CD is something I'm looking forward to hearing.  Them on that bill is like Maximo Park on the Killers bill.  Don't think Conor's groupies will give them any due whats so ever.

Hanson did however record a song  Mattew Sweet wrote  for them...  Me thinks Hanson should tour with Saves the Day to prove they are indeed seperate bands..

speaking of Maximo Park, what's the deal? their music is really cool but at that show they were unbelievably boring! maybe it was because they were at merriweather.
