You might have already seen Conor Oberst (a.k.a. Bright Eyes) on Leno this week, but if not, clicky-clicky.

I'm lukewarm on Conner's music at this point. I think if he keeps doing it he could really grow into a pretty formidable artist. Although the instrumentation and rhythm could stand development, there's no denying the echos of Dylan and Guthrie and Ochs in some of these lines: "No they're lazy George, I say we don't. Just give 'em more liquor stores and dirty coke! That's what God reccomends." Acid sharp.

While I'm lukewarm, plenty of kids in my generation are hot for this 25-year-old from Oklahoma. This could be good.
