Comments:

  1. OK, just wondering... does anyone like "Bright Eyes"? I personally think that he is doing a cheap imitation of Sufjan Stevens. I haven't heard anything off of his new CD, but I did purchase that last one (The electronic one, not the acoustic album), and immediately traded it in at the Used cd store. I hated the fact that he had to do the "Sitting on the washing machine" voice the entire time.

    Am I the only one who isn't constantly praising the guy?

    What's your opinion on him?
