Lifted and Wide Awake are literally two great classics of our time

It’s just his voice! And it’s horrible when he talks rather than sings (the intro to Wide Awake, the “interview” at the end of Fevers and Mirrors [which I know isn’t really him but it sounds exactly like him]).

He’s one of those whose ambition I admire, whose skill I recognise, and whose influence I respect, but try as I might I simply cannot get into him. And I’ve tried so, so many times.

Four Winds though. Amazing.

An Attempt To Tip The Scales makes me chuckle - partly because my friends and I use to make fake radio recordings and also because Todd Fink’s impersonation is so eerily spot on! I always wondered how many takes it took them to nail it.

i like Nouns but not quite enough to bother listening to anything else they’ve done

Fevers and Mirrors is the best album ever I reckon

Think the trouble with bright eyes is he is at his best when he feelings/moods/sentiments that are kind of regrettable, but if that is how you feel he completely nails it, optimal wallowing music

Conor oberst played Manchester last week and had to have a half hour break as he was too pissed

Imagine Conor Oberst being drunk on stage in front of a sold-out audience

Did he have a guy there to wash his harmonica?
