2. excuse me, that is "inhales vigorously," as my 5 yr old grandson
Edited on Thu Jun-02-05 01:43 PM by librechik
(who is not allowed to use "bad" words) tells me!

haven't heard Bream, but Conor is an interesting talent. Yeah, he suckks, but sometimes that's a good thing.

3. Oberst must die.
Edited on Thu Jun-02-05 01:47 PM by asthmaticeog
That is all.

On edit: That is not all. Connor Oberst should die painfully and publicly. And everyone who bought any of his last few albums should be fucking confined for the crime of abetting the career of a "musician" who's actively making the world a shittier place. THAT is all.

19. I find that hilarious
I've bought the last four Bright Eyes albums and the Desaparecidos album as well. Your hatred for Conor and his fans oddly gives me a satisfaction in that.

36. I'm not entirely serious.
People can like what they like, whatev, it does me no harm or insult. Bright Eyes just rubs me SO the wrong way, I get all invective-y about it.

4. Uh oh
I think Bright Eyes is one of the most interesting new talents around.

So sue me. I'm old. I remember when music was really great.

5. Then you should vote for Iron and Wine.
(who I believe to be worse than Oberst, though asthmaticeog apparently disagrees)

7. He has a smooth and inviting style.
It invites me to eat ground glass. Think Bright Eyes with less jangle and more flasetto. Then imagine the singer having suffered a grievous head injury. Then imagine the songs being written by Diane Warren.

31. but
the Iron and Wine guy is a professor! That makes it all ok. Better iron and wine than decongestants and wine. ;)

Ah, I'm waiting for everyone to fall all over the new Sleater- Kinney album. Then I'll pounce.

33. Yes, but Tucker and Brownstein would eat Oberst and Bream alive.
On second thought, no. They'd kill them first.

8. not familiar with iron and wine
so unable to make a judgement there.

so, bright eyes: just another washed out sclempke band who sounds ten times more translucent every day.

11. meh
Edited on Thu Jun-02-05 02:17 PM by chickenscratching
i really can't say one way or the other, i only dabbled in them a few years ago.

and bright eyes? i haven't heard them really either, my judgement was completely biased (but amazingly accurate).
:P

on edit: i still don't know what sclempke means though

12. This is like a diarrhea taste test.
Dude, if you gave me only THESE two options, I'll check the box marked "suicide." They both suck so wildly, so vociferously, it's hard to distinguish which strain of suckiness is more virulient.

Suffice to say, Iron and Wine makes me wasnt to kill anyone and everything around me whenever I hear his mosquito-esque whipery beardo voice, whereas Conor Oberst whines like a little child, asking for his banky and gently inquiring whether his widdle mommy will sweep wiff him tonight....I can't believe chicks fall for that shit.

So, to sum up, if there is a choice ONLY between Iron and Wine or Bright Eyes, I'll swallow drano.

14. I don't think either of these guys do anything vigorously.
"Who sucks more passively" might be an apter question.

I haven't yet gotten close enough to either one to find out. I like Belle & Sebastian, but that's as fey as I want my music to get.

And graciously vote for the other guy whom I don't think I've ever even heard of.

30. Not the same.
She knows the names of musicians... so she's younger than I, in that sense... the more important one, I would say.

From the looks of this thread we're not missing out on anything. :)
