The NY Times reflects on Bright Eyes' recent seven night run at Town Hall. Is Conor Oberst so complex that many, many charts analyzing him, his show and his fans outbursts, is necessary?

Hayes Peebles is a solo artist.

We meant to go to the Bring Em Home concert Monday night (yeah, we like Conor Oberst. Wanna fight?) however we were still 37,000 feet in the air on our way home from Austin. Luckily Merlin of Last Nights Party was there though! He took pictures of the crazy attendees, performers and the afterparty shenanigans. Check them all out here, and try to guess who's tiny naughy bit that is in this midst of the photos.

Since it's late in the day, and the benefit show featuring Sufjan Stevens and Adam Green at Bowery Ballroom is sold out, we're going to quickly highlight one other show happening tonight in Brooklyn. The band is Architecture in Helsinki. The venue is Warsaw.

As soon as Bright Eyes (and the Faint) are finished hogging Webster Hall this week, former Conor Oberst label mate Rilo Kiley take over for a two day run. Former child actress Jenny Lewis leads this band of safe OC-ready indie pop-rockers. For a taste of Rilo, download MP3s of their entire Coachella performance. Portastatic and The Brunettes open both shows on Thursday and Friday.

We couldn't help but notice the abundance of talented white male rockers invading NYC this week. New and old and originating from various corners of the Earth, the white boys of rock n' roll are invading. Let us be your guide.

Since this seems to be hard to grasp for some we just want to reiterate that this post is just to let you know that we've noticed a few tickets that are on sale for shows that we believe may sell out. We won't be repeating any ticket listings we posted last time, so you may want to give that list a once over as well. Also, we put a $ sign next to overpriced shows that are in no way worth the amount being charged.

Gothamist (and, um, not ALL of Gothamist - but this part) has a love-hate thing with Conor Oberst. He is talented, but he doesn't really live up to the insane number of magazine covers he's been on this year [] we liked what we heard, but ultimately left wondering how he sold out Town Hall three nights consecutively.

If anybody missed last week's The Hold Steady show at Mercury, shame on you. You're probably a wuss. In that case, wow, you're in for a big week. Our TONY cover-boy (and new east village renter, swoon) Conor Oberst is playing, like, forty-seven shows this week. Man, when this guy moves in, he really moves in.

If you were like Gothamist Saturday night and stayed out too late at some bar on Ave C then you also missed the Austin City Limits that aired with Wilco and Bright Eyes. You also forgot to TiVo it. Luckily, it's airing again at midnight this Friday. So stop reading and go set your DVR's now.
