First Aid Kit - King of the World (Feat. Conor Oberst)
Presuming just about everyone reading this knows who Conor Oberst/Bright Eyes is/are,…..if you don’t know who First Aid Kit is. …. .. educate yourself. Haha
The second(or third?) track from the new album, The Lions Roar, out tomorrow(January 24th). Like the previously heard track, Emmylou, this song is most excellent.
Oh, and by the by, you can stream the whole shiny, new album over at NPR.

Bright Eyes - Blue Christmas
This is probably one of my favorite Christmas songs, and Conor does a pretty nice job putting the ‘blue’ into it.
( Is it just me, or does Conor sometimes look a little like the weird brother that had a crush on Vince Vaughn in Wedding Crashers?)

Craig Wedren - Are We (feat. Conor Oberst & Janet Weiss)
A song that is both mellow and anthem like at the same time by Craig Wedren of several different music projects(Shudder To Think, BABY), featuring special guests Conor Oberst and Janet Weiss(Sleater-Kinney).
Bright Eyes - Shell Games(Official Video)
The video isn’t much, in my opinion, but I do like the song Shell Games. I don’t know. It got more interesting about half way though, but sometimes I think bands just try to heard in videos.
Oh, and what self respecting owl would be hanging out during a bands jam session? Psh.
If you didn’t already know, the new Bright Eyes album, The Peoples Key, is out today.
(Oh, and for all you groupies, it’s Conor’s Birthday today ;) )
Bright Eyes - Singularity
This is one of two new Bright Eyes songs that will NOT be on the new album, which kinda sucks, because this is a damn good track.
It is however available over at Saddle Creek Records with the the other non album track which is called In The Real World.
