for the love of conor @fortheloveofconor - Tumblr Blog

calling all my bright eyes friends! soooo I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I’d really like to get some people together to make a bright eyes zine! I’m looking for stories/art/anything involving your experiences with bright eyes/conor and with mental health. because I think this is a common intersection! could be a song that helped you, an important experience, your own story lining up with a particular album, etc. I hope this makes sense. tentatively titled ‘let that fever play’. please let me know if this is something you’d be interested in!!! I’ll set up an email for submissions ✨🐤💕 message me if you wanna be a part of it, or reblog or whatev

For real tho, If i were to start selling these pillows for around $10 would anyone actually be interested in buying them??? I really need feedback on this(Cassadaga isn’t a pillow but it’s just an idea of what I’ll be making) also I’ll do other things, it’s not just limited to Bright Eyes.

Bright Eyes’ first and only RIAA Gold Record award. Of course I think there should be several more of these awards for them, but the music consumption model has been upended as you all know. I always recommend investing in a turntable, personally, but do what works for you.

Looking at this makes me so happy that they’ve gotten the attention they have. Way back when we saw our friends’ bands shows with 30 or 40 people, we in the audience felt like we were in on an incredible secret. And I guess at the time we were. Of course it wasn’t just Bright Eyes then, but also Lullaby for the Working Class, The Faint, Cursive, and many more. It was so amazing, but there was only a tiny group that got to experience it. Thankfully it didn’t stay that way. It was too great to stay a secret, and I’m happy that you guys get to have the same feelings that we did, years and years ago watching our friends sing their hearts out in rented house basements and decrepit clubs. We knew what we were hearing transcended that moment, and ultimately it did.

I still can’t believe my aunt got Conor Oberst to take this picture for me since I couldn’t go to his Tiny Desk Concert at NPR yesterday… Thank you aunt Carol and thank you one of my favorite musicians of all time.
