Talk:Bright Eyes (band)/Archive 1

message: 'The name "Bright Eyes" came from a film Oberst was watching, where the male protagonist affectionately used the term to describe the female protagonist.' Would be better as 'The name "Bright Eyes" came from the film X, where the male protagonist affectionately used the term to describe the female protagonist.' 81.156.49.248 18:57, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Does anyone know if this is/is not from F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby? In chapter one, Nick (the narrator) describes Daisy (his cousin) as having a face that was "sad and lovely with bright things in it, bright eyes and a bright passionate mouth..." There have been at least two film adaptations of this, so that would account for the reference currently on the page. Tunnie 18:35, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  The name "Bright Eyes" 

message: The discography section needs to be edited. Every release is currently listed as an 'album', though some are EPs and CDSs, and some aren't labelled as either but are clearly not full-length albums.... Could someone familiar with the releases organise these into appropriate subsections? Lachatdelarue (talk) 21:32, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I've started this cleaning up by dividing the albums from the not-quite-albums.  I'll probably continue improving it, but in terms of general readability it's greatly improved.  Cometboy 18:03, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

text: I put up the "cleanup" notice.  Maybe someone could work on arranging it chronologically and more professionally...I'm going to find some decent pictures and delete the current ones soon.

thread_title: Discography

message: Should we mention at all that Oberst gets so drunk by the end of most concerts that he forgets words stumbles around etc?  Obviously we would have to find an official source, but just about anyone thats been to a concert of his (within the last year for sure) can verify :)
:If you would really like to include it, you could probably check out some concert reviews for a source. Problem is, musicians getting drunk and acting stupid on stage is not exactly unique and most reviewers probably wouldn't think to mention it. Elvrum 19:16, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bright Eyes live 

message: I've just beefed up the Clear Channel stuff a little, and wondered whether there might be an argument for seperating out things that could broadly be termed as "protest" activities, which would include Clear Channel, MoveOn.org tour, "When The President Talks To God", etc. That "Recent Years" section is just starting to look a little cluttered. --Wastekiller 02:29, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not a bad idea. All this article is so far is a mini-biography without much information about the music, critical reactions, etc. It needs more sections and "Activism" or the like wouldn't be a bad start. Elvrum 03:23, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
