The thing is, can I listen to them easily? WIthout buying/borrowing them? You say check them out, but only really convenient I can think of to do that is to go and buy them. I don't spend money on music, especially untried stuff.

I suppose I could use iTunes, but then I'd need to buy an MP3 player...and a computer on which to load iTunes (won't work on the comp at work). Either way, it's very expensive. Much too expensive to be worth it. I blow my fun money on other things.

You can get both of the songs I mentioned off Amazon's Free Music Downloads, as well as a few more by each artist. Ugly Casanova you'll have to do the old fashioned way, however.

Bright Eyes has grown on me a lot. They are pretty big here in Omaha, cause this is where they started. I wasn't a huge fan of the first song of there's I heard, but I know all the words to Take It Easy. Its a sort of anti-love song about a teenage boy being ditched by his friend after they had sex. I think it struck such a cord with me because something very similar happened to me when I was 15.

My favorite verse:
quote:
if you stay to long inside my memory.
i will trap you in a song tied to a melody.
and i'll keep you there so you can't bother me.

I'll have to listen to more of them. The new song of there's on the radio I like too, but not as well as Take it Easy. Its pretty much the opposite, being a love song.

quote:

And you said, "This is the first day of my life."
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you
Now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy

Now I know we have a "two line max" rule, but without saying "look at line 14-18" or something like that, how do I show the verse which I like? Take the last lines off either of the lyric quotes and they don't mean anything. Its like stopping mid sentence.

Sort of like:
quote:

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in conceived in Liberty, and

But I will edit the quotes down if I am asked to.

I prefer his digital stuff to his acoustic stuff, and feel awful about it. It goes against everything musical I believe in.
