Exclusive: Bright Eyes to Release Live Album

Conor Oberst continues on his quest to become this generation's Ian MacKaye, keeping it real by fortifying his commitment to independent music. On November 15, Oberst's own Team Love Records will release Motion Sickness, Bright Eyes' first live album, exclusively to indie stores. It will be distributed by the Coalition of Independent Music Stores (CIMS) and will be available online through the Team Love and Think Indie websites. Sorry, Wal-Mart, you can go fuck yourself.

The disc's fifteen songs were recorded during last winter's Wide Awake World Tour. It includes several rare tunes, as well as covers of Feist's "Mushaboom" and Elliott Smith's "The Biggest Lie". Here's the full tracklist:

01 At the Bottom of Everything
02 We Are Nowhere and It's Now
03 Old Soul Song
04 Make War Short
05 Make War
06 Scale
07 Landlocked Blues
08 Method Acting
09 Train Under Water
10 When the President Talks to God
11 Road to Joy
12 Mushaboom
13 Southern State
14 True Blue
15 The Biggest Lie

As previously reported, Bright Eyes will embark on yet another American tour next week, criss-crossing the country with the likes of Sons and Daughters, Feist and Magic Numbers. You'll notice a venue change for the St. Louis show on November 12. It was discovered that the original location, The Pageant, had ties to the evil overlord Clear Channel, so Oberst and crew jumped into their Man-fighting spaceship and bailed.
