Conor once again enlists the estimable Patrick Daughters to produce his vid for a standout from Cassadaga, and Oberst is granted his request that this studio-performance clip kindly not include a trash-chucking crowd thank you very much. But Daughters does bring back the tight, Bright face shots; swells the ranks of Oberst’s Eyes to include a sweet string section; and keeps ‘em all in their tour-standard white-on-white. Conor won’t confess to being “fucked” this go around, so crank it up and let the kids in the room, as long as seeing Conor’s locks won’t be too traumatizing for them.

WHO CARES?! THE CURE JUST ANNOUNCED THEIR NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES!!!!
The Cure sucks.
But nice enough video. Good to see Janet in there!
I don’t know which is scarier: the whole southern-cult-leader thing he’s got going on, the fact that the video reminds me of a trippy ripoff of ‘American Idiot’, or that Conor has hair like me. o_o
He and Jack White are becoming the same person.
This is exactly what they do during concerts, but with no video. They do have that guy with the fishbowl on the projector, though.
He’s got this whole John Lennon thing going on. Just needs a small asian woman at his side.
I don’t see the Lennon or the Jack thing. I’m too blinded by the two-years-too-late Gram Parsons ripoff.
Conor has talent, but he needs to take some time off and hire a real band.
I noticed the Lennon similarity, too, when he did this song on Letterman. Speaking of, I liked the TV change of the lyric to “I’ve made love…in handcuffs…so what?” I’m normally not a fan of censored lyrics, but I thought that one worked surprisingly well.
It was a girl with a projector.
No it was a very feminine cowboy
um yeah. in response to the “hair growth” comment on the “monster” article, he got his hair cut. i saw him at the norva last month, and he got his hair cut that night. yeah, i know it doesnt matter, but im just saying, neither did the comment.
Saw him in Fargo last month, his hair has been cut, it’s true… sad, but true.
