I'm sad I missed this.

It's sooooooooooo weird hearing about Conor Oberst from people who aren't from Omaha. As much as I have really disliked him and he's emo past, I will say, some of this stuff is catchy, it's pretty good. He sounds a lot less like he's dying. But again, it's all we hear about around here. Hard to believe people like him nationally, haha.

He's one of those people whose music I really enjoy, but I wouldn't want to meet him.

Haha, I got ya. He grew up in a really nice neighboorhood around here, had well to do parents, had a good life, and his first stuff was like, really emo. I saw him at a show around 2001, and It was not enjoyable.

But again, he has proved me wrong with his latest project.
