Music Video Mondays - Bright Eyes

I know. I usually do these on Fridays, but fuck it! It's the Summer, y'all!

I don't know very much about this band. I'm only listening to them tonight for the very first time, but I like what I hear so far. The did a cover of Daniel Johnston's* Devil Town that was featured in Season 1 of Friday Night Lights on NBC and we dug the shit out of it.  So I went a-lookin' for some more on ye olde Youtube.

Thusly, here are a few videos starting with Devil Town (not made by the band themselves).

You can decide for yourself if you dig 'em like we do. - Earl

Devil Town

by Daniel Johnston

(as performed by Bright Eyes)

I was living in a devil town
I didn't know it was a devil town
Oh lord it really brings me down about the devil town

All my friends were vampires
I didn't know they were vampires
It turns out I was a vampire myself in the devil town

I was living in a devil town
I didn't know it was a devil town
Oh lord it really brings me down about the devil town

All my friends were vampires
I didn't know they were vampires
It turns out I was a vampire myself in the devil town

I was living in a devil town
I didn't know it was a devil town
Oh lord it really brings me down about the devil town

About the devil town

I was living in a devil town
I didn't know it was a devil town
Oh lord it really brings me down about the devil town

*Daniel Johnston's story is a pretty darned interesting one.
