Rooftop Playlist

If you have not already heard, Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes has resurrected his 2001-2002 band Desaparecidos.  Personally I am ecstatic to hear something that is not folky rock but more gritty, lo-fi, garage rock.  Unlike his solo efforts, Bright Eyes, and Monsters of Folk, Desparecidos packs a lot of energy and engages the listener to, do I dare say it, head bump.   Desaparecidos will be doing a short tour mostly on the west coast.  That is a HUGE disappointment for all the Midwest and East Coast fans.

Below is one of the two new songs Desaparecidos have been playing,  “Left is Right.” The quality is not that great but man can you feel the intensity their music brings.

And of course from Read Music/ Speak Spanish, “Manana”

I recently received an early birthday present. I had been eying this case for my records/vinyls for quite some time. I have ZERO complaints but there is a slight odor which is not smelt until you open it but it’s not necessarily bad. The Odyssey Gear LP Case (CLP200P) is a beast. It’s large, carpeted, and durable. The construction is well designed and the $100 - $120 price tag is worth it. However, it does not hold 200 LPs even with one record jacket. But it definitely holds over 100 LPs. My favorite part is the removable lid that you can take off completely or leave on the hinges. I’m in love.

I won’t deny, I love Conor Oberst. I will keep collecting his stuff until my collection is complete.  Unfortunately I’m missing some hard to find albums and in my opinion MUST HAVES: 1. There Is No Beginning to the Story EP, 2. Motion Sickness: Live Recordings, 3. LUA EP  4. Oh Holy Fools: The Music of Son, Ambulance & Bright Eyes.

Does anyone have them in their collection OR know where I can buy them?

I know there are more in the Conor Collection like splits/collaborations but the above would really complete the collection.
