And it genuinely looked like they had a blast. (Personally, I am writing this from the grave as a result.)īright Eyes weaved in a rightful amount of newer material, finally offering 2020’s Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was the proper live show it deserved.

They opened with “Dance and Sing” before testing the fabric of the crowd’s emotions with a one-two punch featuring “Lover I Don’t Have to Love” followed immediately by “Bowl of Oranges”. The band was tighter than ever, with Nate Walcott perched on his rightful podium of keyboards and strings and Mike Mogis flanking Oberst as his literal righthand man. With Bright Eyes fresh off the release of their first three companion EPs in May, it’s clear that looking back looks good on them. The tour’s second leg kicked off this month with markedly less hitches, and by the time Oberst and his sidekicks made it to LA (“a second home for many of us” as he noted), they delivered a performance that was nothing short of astounding.

Concerned fans came out of the internet woodwork shortly thereafter, nearly cataloging his onstage behavior night to night, wondering if his well-documented demons would let him make it through the next show. And therefore, somehow, some day, some way … we will be OK, too.īright Eyes haven’t exactly had a smooth start to their pandemic-plagued “Down in the Weeds Where the World Once Was Tour” across the U.S., with Oberst hurting his wrist from a fall during their Detroit gig early on the first leg. The good news is that Conor Oberst is OK. The bad news is that Americans with uteruses lost the right to make a decision about their own bodies last week. The shape and lines also represent the home of these bearded little guys, which is mainly Australia (not the lush hills and dales), from the circles which represent the grains of sand in the desert to the lines and ridges representing the tall buttes found on the continent I one day wish to visit.There’s good news, and there’s bad news. Of course it is the musical number King Richard and Tad had together that really gets me, right in the feels.Īh, ok, laughter subsiding.After doing some real research into where these lizards thrive, many image searches and getting mesmerised by their fantastic scales, I took to my drawing board and highlighted their scales, ridges and horns with all kinds of various lines. My all time favourite animal on the show is Tad Cooper, a fab bearded dragon, whom King Richard believes is a REAL dragon! While not laughing non-stop at King Richard (played by the talented Timothy Omundson, also from Supernatural, Psych) and the Unicorn.
TAD COOPER LIZARD SERIES
I had just re-watched Galavant, a musical, comic, fantasy, television series that aired on ABC and is currently on Netflix. So now comes the time to explain what I designed and at the end of this strange fairy tale, if you like, you can vote for it! The Muse (Yes, NARF! Pinky would love it.) The winning design will be a featured shoe in this summer’s collection release.įor every design entered into the February challenges, Spoonflower will also be donating $1 dollar to NARF! How awesome is that?! Bucketfeet is building a collection of desert themed footwear to raise awareness of the Native American Rights Fund (NARF). The Spoonflower Desert challenge inspires designs that highlight the resilient animals who’ve adapted to thrive in the harsh desert heat. Inspiration and motivation can come in many forms.
