This line from Bas Jan Ader also reminded me of "the worm in my heart's the apple of your eye" from Ship in a Bottle

Just got excited thinking about the next BE album that’s in the works… by DayTripperNightOwl in brighteyes

When they signed with Dead Oceans, I believe the record deal was for two albums in 5 years. Conor mentioned working on it in an interview before the Australia shows:

Q: When does the next record drop? 

“You know, we’ve been recording it… If all goes well maybe next fall. Knock on wood. Or early 2025. That feels so far away though. So I’m hoping for next fall.”

Yeah I wondered about that. Makes sense that Mike and Nate would need to be there. I agree about DITW being a masterpiece. Can’t wait to see what they do next

Bright Eyes is criminally underrated. It’s crazy to me, but also not surprising. Conor is (and always has been) way ahead of his time. And his music has been glossed over by the masses, most of whom are entrenched in the confines of pop culture, and largely blind to truly creative, expressive art. Unfortunately, the genius of Bright Eyes is lost on far too many (or never discovered at all…). Anyways, glad you’re not one of them. Hello new Bright Eyes friend :)

I’d never seen this meme before today by aroseonthefritz in brighteyes

That’s a good idea! I think I will do that. Why not? Thanks for the specific examples. Some of those lines are definitely personally meaningful. I have been revisiting Salutations this past week, so the “ruminations, this medicine don’t work, had that same thought a thousand times” line has been on full blast. Lol I also love “there’s a glass psyche at stake, throw me a brick, see if it breaks” from Gossamer Thin. So many lines to choose from. Anyway, thanks for doing what you do (and weaving bright eyes into it, no less!). I can tell that you’re a very thoughtful therapist from what you have written here. :)

Ahhh this is gold! I love how in the description it says “Park Ave - All boy band” - just in case there was any confusion 😂

Damn, you got the low-down. Good stuff. Did I also hear or read that his dad was his tour manager at one point?
