It's been great listening to it in that 1996 boom box sitting in the passenger seat, but wouldn't it be even better if you could play it on that iPod you scored for [insert holiday]?

His career encompasses a slew of genres, from gunge/emo (Decaprecidos) to electronic (Bright Eyes’ Digital Ash in a Digital Urn) and his current folk stint. But one thing has always been for sure: a Conor Oberst album is a one-man show.

Opening the show was a upstart band called Manchester Orchestra. By the end of their set, I was impressed – these guys were good.

I thought, “Japandroids? That has to be one of the most ridiculous band names I have ever heard!” and promptly skipped the post.
