'Bowl of Oranges' - reminds me how much I hate Belle and Sebastian (and their fans). I think that song might be the reason I'll always prefer F&M and I'm Wide Awake... to Lifted.
Everything else is great.

The fake interview
on Fevers and Mirrors. I think it's utterly embarrassing....but I have a feeling others might disagree....
Also when I first heard the "big mistake" on False Advertising I cringed a little, but to be fair I hardly notice it now.
but the radio interview
is a pisstake! it's not even conor playing conor.
Well, yeah but
I still think it's awful...I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. :)
Have to sat I didn't realize it wasn't Conor though!
it's
someone from the faint, can't remember who though.
the opening of fevers and mirrors
irritates me much much more than the interview.
i skip it
but i like bowl of oranges, loads
I agree
I get the joke, the first couple of times it's ok, but having to hear it (or more likely skip it) each time is annoying.
I read that he had written some sleave notes explaining the imagery etc but decided it was too pretensious and scrapped them. More pretentios than a frabricated radio interview Coner? At least then you could have read them once and ignored them.
another example
of how the word 'pretentious' is massively overused.
Your right
and I spelt it wrong both times :(
It actually doesn't bother me that much, I just think it gets in the way a bit.
:(
I love Belle and Sebastian. Why do you hate me?
The opening to 'I'm Wide Awake'
can't remember the song, but the little monologue he does at the beginning is WACK.
Some Bright Eyes stuff I like
A lot of it I'm coming to realise is a load of piffle.

I think putting down an entire fanbase is a bit of a generalisation don't you?
No
look at them with their bloody flowery dresses, hair slides all standing around competing to see who's the biggest B&S fan
So liiiittle to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeearghhhhhhhh!
from saturday as usual, shame good song
who is it who does the radio interview?
I quite like it, it's quite funny. Sort of gets in the way a bit though between An Attempt To Tip The Scales and A Song To Pass The Time though.
well
according to this interview:
http://www.kittymagik.com/interviewsViewer.asp?artist=36
KM: I've always wanted to ask you: What is up with that weird radio interview thing near the end of Fevers and Mirrors?
CO: I guess I wanted to be funny and I wanted a break between the second-to-last song and the very last song because it's a way different mood.
KM: Is it a real interview?
CO: No! I wrote the script and then Todd Baechle [singer for The Faint] played me and our friend Matt did the radio voice.
i think conor may be one of the voices shouting abuse quite low in the mix.
I think he says
"saddle creek fucking records with their "ethereal" new wave groups and sad sad folk bulshit"
Glasto?
Probably
he was SO fucked up that night.
i was at the front just shaking my head
that was dreadful. i wish so hard that i saw 2 many djs :(:(
those
John Peel 'jokes' went down a storm that night. I think it's safe to say that wasn't the lads finest hour.
Somerset House
gig was so dull I left before the end
really
that gig had such a great atmosphere
I thought it was rubbish
myself but horses for courses and all that
i think thats the most disappointing gig i've ever been to
there was an atmosphere of disappointment that's for sure.
i enjoyed it
despite not really knowing much of Digital Ash. as the setlist was so heavy on it, i guess your enjoyment would be in relation to how much you like that album...
brights eyes are the worse band i have ever seen
& ive seen them twice. he's dreadful. doesn't care, played random b-sides & slagged off john peel while on the john peel stage.
Especially the end
where he was sick and the guy smashed up his trumpet. That was wicked.
true blue. all of it.
also,
'emily, sing something sweet for me' - painfully embarassingly painful.
His birth
lol
Damn you
I was going to post something like that. Or 'his entire career'.
I hate the beginning of @ the bottom of everything
All those stupid pauses, sounds like he's haveing an asthma attack.

Do you genuinely
think I think I was being funny?! You worry me.
no
i just find it all very tedious.
also: CHUMBLYWUMBLYETCLOLWHATEVER
And I find him tedious
Along with the five threads dedicated to him on the first page. I might start five Depeche Mode threads. Or something.
cool
then i can go into them and make boring, unimaginative comments about them. sweet!
As you do about everything else! Sweet!
i do?
interesting.
i was very aware of it not being funny and being very obvious.
hence the 'lol'.
Lover I Don't Have To Love
It's like all the reasons people don't like Bright Eyes compressed into one shit song.
