i like Arc of Time and Easy/lucky/free off of Digital Ash
I like most of the songs on Cassadaga. A couple slower ones at the end really it kill it. I don't like 'Lime Tree and No One Would Riot For Less' at all. If those were cut or replaced with a few tracks from the Four Winds EP, Cassadaga would be really really great.
lime tree is definitely one of the best on that album. really good live
i don't remember that one live. I'm not sure he played it. the music is nice, but i can't stand the way he sings. it sounds like he's trying too hard to sound sweet or something. 'Make A Plan to Love Me' suffers from that as well, but i still like it. I wouldn't mind hearing 'Lime Tree' a little bit stripped down with less production
i didn't hear it stripped down, it was actually with a 10 people symphony the first time and with a whole orchestra the second time
oh, i figured. I'm just sayin'..
haha, well its good with a symphony too

I have a free ticket offer for one of his shows, I have only heard a few by him and I can not say I liked them.... I may go just b.c Ben Kweller is opening.

so i hear he's retiring the bright eyes title. which saddens me, because that's where he does his best work. i guess the world needs more marginalized folk songs..

there will be one last bright eyes album out in the spring before he retires the name. this was in rolling stone or some other such thing, so i have no link or anything, but the quote was from the saddle creek president, i think he'd know for sure.

I'm having a hard time getting into this guy. OK music but his voice annoys me.

Yeah, my favorite work of his is definitely under the Bright Eyes name.

Bright Eyes has been dead for a while now... since "Lifted".

dead wrong about that one. Digital Ash is a great album.

Saw him tonight at the Orpheum Theatre here in Boston. Pretty good show but middle of the road if I was ranking my bright eyes/oberst experiences. The New York show a couple weeks ago was a lot better.

You'd pay hundreds of dollars to fly to the show but you will not pay $40 for a ticket? 
Makes a lot of sense.
