Jorge must have been happy that the new board made it more than a year without a Bright Eyes thread.

Bright Eyes is terrible, but it's less fun to poke fun at him now that it got out that he might be a rapist.

I don't know this story...

I found him pretty annoying, but he wrote quite a few killer songs. I haven't heard anything since cassadega, though

There's only been one album since then (People's Key), but it has some solid songs on it

I'm Wide Awake is the only album of his I really like from start to finish (barring the intro, which is insufferable). It's kind of frustrating, because I feel like it's the first and only time he put aside the histrionics and pretension and actually put together a damn fine singer-songwriter record in the tradition of all those guys he's constantly compared to, but Cassadaga was a disappointing follow-up and The People's Key was probably the worst album I listened to in 2011.

I only really ever listened to Lifted and Wide Awake, which were decent records but kind of tiring in a way.

But Saddle Creek opened up my new favorite live venue I've ever been in a while back, The Slowdown. I'm hoping to find a sitter so I can go see Califone there in a week and a half.

Bright Eyes and Saddle Creek introduced me to The Mynabirds and the importance of that can not be overstated.

Saddle Creek has always been cool in my books. There were no record stores where I grew up, so I typically ordered things direct from labels. Saddle Creek always sent me the album on CD for free every time I ordered it on vinyl.
