Anyone who uses Winamp or iTunes to listen to RP should download "Minilyrics". it's a great lyrics player that accesses an online database to look for the lyrics to songs. It's got a TON of lyrics. Some are in the form of text files (so they're static) but others are .lrc (lyric) files and are synced to the song. This is one that's synched. the lyrics are great.

 
When I see plugins like that, it always raises privacy concerns. Minilyrics don't address privacy in their faq, but Softpedia declares Minilyrics 7.2.880 100% Clean.

 

You can use it for free but it nags you until you register. That costs USD $9.99 for a year on three PCs or USD $24.99 for a perpetual licenses on the same.

This is a good business model, imo, and the fact that they are not mining your data, but instead support themselves by offering an upgraded experience for a reasonable fee, is sadly noteworthy.

I would support these guys if they had a Linux client - and if I found myself using and enjoying the free version for any length of time. It's not really dissimilar to what Bill and Rebeca do here, although of course I don't consider the occasional reminder that RadioParadise is listener supported to be "nagging." :)

I didn't know he was a "babe magnet".  Conor Oberst may not appeal to a lot of folks (particularly here), but one can't accuse him of being passive about his chosen profession.  He's been forming bands and releasing recordings since he was about 14 years-old.  I don't like all of his material, but I think he's a pretty talented guy.  I don't find these lyrics to be bad.

This is a great song and a great CD.  Thanks Bill for keeping this in the play list and ignoring all of the tools and their tired emo jokes.  Emmylou knows quality and so do you.

Let's hear more from this disc.

Absolutely. She'd sound wonderful singing a phone book, but hey.

After hearing this, I think I can die now, I have heard EVERYTHING: Emmylou Harris and Bright Eyes together? The mind reels...

This feels like one of those songs that is trying to be much deeper than it actually can be, given its lyrics. Never been a fan of Bright Eyes. :/

I like Conor's vibrato, the tremble in his voice, and find it very effective and I LOVE his lyrics. One of my favorites, thanks for playing.

Isn't it something akin to Modest Mouse? and that was one that took some time to grow on me but grow by God it did...Like this, too!
