I was always intrigued by his lyrics, but could not stand his whiney goatboy voice whatsoever... but on that record i heard some flourishes of musical greatness that made it easier to stomach the poor vocals. his voice is finally starting to come into it's own over the last 3 Bright Eyes records and this new Conor one. this show wasn't as amazing as a couple Bright Eyes shows i've seen, but Erik was right on the money, in that he's in a much happier and more at home place now on stage, which made for a very enjoyable and consistent show all the way through.

It's still hate, and that hate is still firm, but it's a mellow hate... borderline dislike.

I was really waiting for "Lover I Don't Have to Love"- youtube has it, and if he had done "Trees Get Wheeled Away", I would have peed. I really dig (and it's really indicative)that he chose "Kodachrome"- can you imagine the 16 year old Conor singing about the "nice, bright colors/gives us the greens of summers/makes you think all the world's a sunny day"?!
