Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band

HEY! Tonight Conor Oberst is in town at the Ogden! His new project is the Mystic Valley Band and it is quite delightful. Mixing the lyrics of Bright eyes with the easy feel of a Bob Dylan album and a dusty sun dried road, it is all i listened to during my last trip to the south west.


They are on tour for a few reasons, one of which is to promote a film called "One of A Kind", which documents the formation of the band. The movie is completlty free with the hope you donate to some charitys instead.


If you fallow that link you can also get a new song from him for cheep (read as free).


Ill see you at the show!

Chief Noc-A-Homa

"Chief Noc-A-Homa was the original mascot of the Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves from 1950s until 1986. The name was used for the "screaming Indian" sleeve patch worn on Braves jerseys. From at least the early 1960s, while still in Milwaukee County Stadium, until the early 1980s at Atlanta's Fulton County Stadium, this mascot "lived" in a tipi in an unoccupied section of the bleacher seats...The name was intended to be a playful variation of "Knock a Homer." The mascot's job was to exit his tipi and perform a dance whenever a Braves player would hit a home run."--Wiki



Wow that is quite possibly the strangest and most racist thing I have ever seen in my life. Here i was thinking the tomahawk thing they did was bad.
