One of Drowned in Sound's favourite artists, Bright Eyes, is to release a live album this November.

The 15-track release, entitled Motion Sickness, features recordings from the band's I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning Tour (January-April 2005) and is released via Conor's own Team Love label in independent stores in the US.

Team Love released Tilly & The Wall in the States, which was later picked up in the UK by Trash Aesthetics. Motion Sickness, though, will see an official UK release (a limited run, it must be stressed) through Saddle Creek on November 14th.

The tracklisting is as follows:
At the Bottom of Everything
We Are Nowhere and It's Now
Old Soul Song
Make War (short version)
Make War (long version)
Scale
Landlocked Blues
Method Acting
Train Under Water
When the President Talks to God
Road to Joy
Mushaboom (Feist cover)
Southern State
True Blue
The Biggest Lie (Elliott Smith cover)

and what if people don't like one of DIS's favourite artists then?

Is he playing in an All Bar One in the picture?

pitchfork (probably taking the piss) said "continuing his quest to become this generation's Ian MacKaye" and people on punknews.org have gone mental

No, but really, it really does. Maybe it was. Damn, I wish I'd have known. I could have firebombed it on my way to the station.

The Tilly & the Wall album is absolutely amazing, as I'm sure this Live album will be too.

P.S. I'm 99% sure the picture is from the gig at The Boogaloo Bar towards the end of last year.

Yes I can see Roberts' FACE.

Also releasing a live record next month: Bonnie 'Prince' Billy.

IT IS GOOD.

It was the Boogaloo in Highgate, I believe.

I was online when tickets went on sale for that gig. Ignored it, went on about my business. A few months later I bought his new albums, and now I'm Wide Awake It's Morning is one of my favourite albums of the year. Gutted much?

People on Punknewz are going crazy? Well I suppose some people have more hours in a day to fill than others

Conner O'Burst would really is nothing special, just a man with a guitar - I find most singer songwriters self congratulatory and always stupidly very derivative and this man is number one with a bullet on that chart beating Willy Mason, but only just.

I hope I've annoyed who I think I'm going to annoy

If you don't like one of DiS' favourite artists, then you're fucking BANNED FROM THE SITE.

In all seriousness though, why the fuck do you even need to ask that question? Just ignore it if it doesn't bother you. Your reactionary rhetoric grows a tad tiresome after a while.

Actually, they aren't wrong. It's out on 14th November on Saddle Creek Europe. Should be able to pre-order it on the Saddle Creek Europe site in the next couple of days. Orders will ship on November 7th.

Good stuff, looks like it has a few tracks I haven't heard, and I missed the tour this year so I can listen to this and be ultra-jealous.

Is Scale the same as A Scale A Mirror and These Indifferent Clocks or is it a different song?

i might get this, seeing as i saw him on this tour. 'mushaboom' was a good cover.

Who's Roberts? (I am, but who else is?) And where are gig listings for the Boogaloo posted? I was under the impression that it was mainly impromptu stuff.

The Biggest Lie is an Elliott Smith cover. There was I hoping it was the Husker Du song. Now that would be interesting.

I just downloaded Conor Oberst's first ever tape recording, Water, made when he was 14. It's pretty spooky, but not all together shambolic.

Anyone else heard it?

I've seen the bits on the DVD.
Not too bad for a kid.

I want to hear 'tim and conors other band' from the dvd. Doomy songs about maidens and dragons are the future.

Much as I like Bright Eyes there needs to be another Desa's record as soon as possible.

I thought Desaparecidos had effectively called it shots after one album?

I agree with Panda...I love that record...I didn't enjoy Wide Awake or Digital Ash as much as Fevers or Lifted...

Wide Awake, Fevers, and Lifted made me realize Conor is too beautiful for this world.
