Live Review: Bright Eyes at Soma, September 21, 2011
A look through the eyes of a devoted (but not obsessed) fan // Follow Owl and Bear on Facebook and Twitter for contests, MP3s, and links that don't make it onto the blog.
Way back during the formative period of the Paper Crane Collective, I signed on to feature a monthly mix called Something for Later . The name of the mix came from a folder I use for tracks that didn't quite make it into the Dadada's monthly mix ( Blogophilia ) or something that was a little unusual deemed for a different kind of mix. Well, my hard drive is full of mp3s in folders marked Something For Later . Making a mix from these folders was an easy decision. This month's mix features tracks posted to our blogs and others [...]

Где-то в Америке есть город Омаха, в котором базируется Saddle Creek — один из лучших альт-кантри лейблов в истории, подаривший миру Bright Eyes, The Faint, Rilo Kiley и целую плеяду других громких имён. Жители Омахи лучше всех разбираются в происходящем — общаются с музыкантами и ходят на концерты приезжих фолк-поп знаменитостей. Ансамбль Blue Bird, практически ВИА «Синяя Птица», состоит из семерых молодых людей, объединяющих свои музыкальные вкусы, будь то фолк, соул или американа, в одно мощное и предельно мелодичное полотно. На первый взгляд — Blue Bird достойные продолжатели дела Дженни Льюис, The Mynabirds и She & Him, но если вслушаться чуть глубже, то за группой слышан намного больший потенциал. У них есть свой голос, свои мелодии и семь пар горящих глаз, намеренных [...]
The Mynabirds, one of my favorite bands in 2010, has come out with a new video for their song "LA Rain," which is from their debut album, "What We Lose In The Fire We Gain In The Flood" . The video was put together by Shervin Lainez and took shots from their recent tour with Bright Eyes. Filmed in black and white, the video's minimalist style and understated pulchritude is a perfect fit for the song. For those not familiar with The Mynabirds, Laura Burhenn (formerly with Georgie James), started writing a number of songs in 2009 [...]

My history with Bright Eyes begins when I was in my early teen years. Conor Oberst's poetic, emotional, sometimes self-indulgent artistic style was tailor-made for young sensitive types like myself, and was far more satisfying then some of the other acoustic "emo" out there (ahem, Dashboard Confessional). Also, as most of my music listening at the time was dedicated to singer/songwriters like Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson, Oberst's music was a pretty natural progression. Anyway, Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground was my jam, and an album I still [...]

By Jon Stone | @jwstone Bright Eyes , like a post-postmodern Mary Poppins, has promised to stay a little longer – but only until the wind changes: one last album, one final tour. And judging from the show Wednesday evening at Foellinger Auditorium on the University of Illinois campus, they intend to make a memorable exit – not unlike floating away on an umbrella. My engagement with Bright Eyes over the years has been one of passive admiring rather than full fledged fan-hood so the pangs of departing sorrow aren't [...]
by Jared Schorr Noise Narcs' first post was one year ago today. What's the traditional one year anniversary gift for a music blog? Paper, silver, a shutdown notice from the RIAA? I was hoping for the last, but instead we get two gifts: a Noise Narcs show and a new feature . Still firming up details on the show, but expect mid-March and some fantastic bands. And we probably have room for one more band, so if you know one, tell them to get in [...]
