one of the things that used to set BE fans apart from other people was that in a sick way they fed off all the fucked-up-ness, which was unhealthy but also a little special
That is exactly it! It was like being told it's okay to be this screwed up and to love your pain and whatever. I don't know, it was sort of like all these messy thoughts in my brain were being articulated so perfectly, you know?
No One Would Riot For Less is beautiful, in that same sad way, and I also really love Cleanse Song and Lime Tree and I do appreciate the political aspect of the album. I guess it's a natural thematic progression from songs like When the President Talks to God and The Trees Get Wheeled Away and At the Bottom of Everything (and so on) and I appreciate the... musical evolution of it. (That sounds so wanky, doesn't it!) I guess it just feels a little impersonal. But it's a creeper, you know? I like it more every time.
I totally need new Bright Eyes icons.
Oh, while I remember it, you totally need to friend me on last.fm!!!
