My obsession with Bright Eyes continues, but not unabated. It seems that other than "Lover, I Don't Have to Love", I am only a fan of Bright Eyes when he goes acoustic. This week I have found another non-acoustic masterpiece: "Take it Easy (Love Nothing)". I also bought Home -- Volume 4 this week where Bright Eyes sings with Britt Daniels and Spoon. Big fan of "You Get Yours" (can't find on youtube).
A few weeks ago I bought the whole MGMT album Oracular Spectacular on the strength of "Time to Pretend" and "Electric Feel". There are at least three other songs on the album that I love, but the album does sound oddly similar to the Trainspotting Soundtrack in some parts. The lyrics are poetic yet bitter and almost too simple on most of the songs, but the real joy of the album is the music, not the singing.
Chris Walla of Death Cab's solo album is tempting me lately. I worship "Sing Again" and have been leaning towards buying the whole album. He apparently has produced albums for other big acts such as Tegan and Sara, in addition to producing the Death Cab albums.
