I think he's a unique kind of genius. His writing is glorious.

I like the Bright Eyes work best, though admittedly I haven't listened to the recent solo work as much. Oberst has some incredible lyrics even if the melodies are less compelling.
And it's Conor Oberst.

Posted: 8/7/09 at 12:03pmI like his Bright Eyes stuff ("A Perfect Sonnet", "The First Day of My Life", etc) and some of his work with Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band.

Posted: 8/7/09 at 4:21pmI used to love him and his early Bright Eyes stuff but now he annoys me to no end. I can't stand him.
A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.
