Already old news, but: The new Bright Eyes album, Cassadaga, is going to be out on the 10th of April, the Four Winds EP on the 6th of March. Four Winds and Tourist Trap can be listened to on their myspace site.

According to Wikipedia, the album title Cassadaga is a Seneca Indian word meaning 'rocks beneath the water'.

I'm sure the TV sets will tell us when someone reinvents the wheel.
Until then I'll have a million conversations about shit that isn't real,
But I've tried to breathe in meaning,
Dig deep to every gasp of air
Because I know you did the same thing for as long as you could bear.
I guess everything just circles around to where it was before,
So I hope I see you soon in some other form.

(Reinvent the Wheel)


It's not my weight
That makes me faint
Or the sugar in my blood
The way these strangers stand so close,
They say my name
Like a guessing game
"Is that really you?"
No, I don’t think it ever was.
