i don't know what tomorrow brings, it's alive with such possibilities

last summer conor oberst announced that in 2010 he would retire bright eyes (i know, i know, can i get you a tissue?). last summer it seemed like a lifetime away but now that 2o1o is almost upon us it's time to face reality. although the album is slated for a fall release i am already anticipating both the new music and tour. conor oberst & the mystic valley band and the monsters of folk are both fantastic bands but there is something magical about the first listen of a new bright eyes record. and the second. and the third. if you haven't had the opportunity to fall in love with a bright eyes song or record, now would be the best time. as a final record means a final tour, you will not have many opportunities to see this amazing band much longer.
