Nah. I was like a conservative ferris bullet. Hung with everyone

Wow. A Bright Eyes fan on Voat! I learned how to play guitar with his songs. Great stuff. Fan since 2001. Thank you Napster!

I hated him in 2001, then I got turned on to Lifted

"on my way to work" was the first song I remember downloading. Very moody and thought provoking. These were the days before being spoiled for choice, so I started looking for his CDs.

"Lifted" was the next album I found cruising Barns N Noble. An unexpected surprise! I was hooked after that. It was an avalanche of fandom from there. I have no idea why I relied on music outlets when we had the internet to order from (2003). I eventually found the other albums in retail stores. All a collection of special moments that I will treasure.

The dual release of IWAIM and Digital Ash was pre-ordered directly from Saddle Creek because of an order form discovered in the "love nothing" single I found at the mall. They both arrived with a special thank you note. I preferred Digital Ash while the internet seemed to enjoy IWAIM more.

Anyway, I will never have that feeling again. The treasure hunt that my Amazon subscription made obsolete. Feels bad man.

Yeah,I have an obsessive love/hate relationship with him. Digital ash is such an underrated record

Can you expand on the reason for the "hate". No judgment from me. Simply curious.

Like some of his viewpoints. Same deal I have with Neil young

Ahhh, completely understandable. They both live in a hippie dream atop sugar mountain.

You going to the new emo festival?

I've disliked bright eyes for a good 15 years now...but this one wasn't so bad.

Didn't know about it. Always had a huge love/hate relationship with Conor
