ahhhhhheehhhh! (high pictch scream)i love you. we can argue all you want. maybe you'll win eventually. ;) but i'm at least glad you listen to me. and that song is hawt.
i suppose you could say that bright eyes can range in genres..but i am fully prepared to back my opinion of what i think the feel bright eyes takes on (which is the belle and sebastian, elliot smith, etc. style).
"...underground alternative folk scene..." "...the secret of alternative folk music..." "...Bright Eyes (folk/alternative), every song on..."
(from several album reviews. don't ask why i wasted my time citing out the ass.)
read up on it a bit. i'm fond of adjectives, thank you.
let's take a deep breathe...ready? here we go... the categorization of music: not only is it impossible to try and knock down and number something like a melody, it's also a waste of time. who gives a shit whether it's 'alternative folk' or 'alt country' or 'folk rock' or 'roots rock' it's all splitting hairs. when i said, (and i quote) 'bright eyes = lovely folk' i was stating an opinion. you inform me that i should (here i go, quoting again) "get the shit right" not only were you picking out said shit to complain about, you were also off the mark; 'lovely' was meant as an affectionate nod to the artists, not as an attempt to pigeonhole.
people who relentlessly attempt to lasso music, and force it into a genre turn it into a fucking math problem. this wasn't meant as an attack so much, as a writer rushing to defend his adjectives.
