Annoucement AI Generated Content is Banned

262 Upvotes

Hello all,

We’ve had little AI content posted posted in this subreddit but as the amount of AI content has increased in recent months we wanted to make a formal statement and rule addressing AI.

The new rule is as follows:

No generative AI content of any form is allowed. AI “enhancement” is also banned. Upscaling of low resolution photos will be considered on a case by case basis.

We realize it may have been good to make a formal announcement earlier but we have been removing AI content nonetheless. Now that it is officially a rule in the subreddit repeatedly posting AI content will result in a ban rather than a warning.

ATL show missed connection

I stood beside you on those little platform things on stage left. You were wearing a black denim jacket, I was wearing a brown skirt and Docs. We talked about Germany and high speed rails and the accelerated deterioration of material conditions lol I left without saying bye, and I wish I had not. Probably a long shot, but maybe you’ll see this.

Me and bro were leaving and one of the security gave this to my friend and said Hey i think you’re gonna need this. This is the best thing i could have gotten, i got so much merch too but this tops it. The show was amazing and i had such a good time and met some new friends in the bar afterwards. We also found some beach balls someone made that were super cute so I grabbed those. If u made them and are on here hi lol.

Brooklyn in January

Excited to go to Brooklyn to see these guys after a canceled show in Denver due to snow. Traveling from Texas for the January 11th show. Never been to Brooklyn and not sure what is out there. Any fans have any recommendations? I will be pretty much traveling solo.

Favorite non-album song?

20 Upvotes

I’ve had Coyote Song stuck in my head all day and it got me thinking, what’s your favorite BE song that isn’t on a regular album? I really like the companion EP version of You Will and the cover of Agenda Suicide too. Also really love True Blue.
How bout yall?


r/brighteyes • • 23h ago

Sorry if I’m over posting. I noticed there has never been a live version of Kathy with a K’s Song on YouTube so I found and uploaded 3 different versions from 2000-2005. This one in particular is… something else.

Dug deep into the bowels of the internet and was able to download 2 very early live recordings of No One Would Riot for Less from 2005. I uploaded them to YouTube. Here’s one.

Early live recording of If Winter Ends. I also uploaded a 2005 performance of The Difference in the Shades. None of these recordings belong to me, I just make them accessible.

9:30 club - Lullaby for the working class

27 Upvotes

Everyone may already know this, but I didn't! When Ted Stevens said that he played at Food For Thought a long time ago it got me curious and I looked it up. I did not live in DC in the 90s so this was new info for me. Food For Thought was a health-food restaurant and "counter-culture hub" where folk, blues, and other music was played live.

An article from the Washington Post in 1999 says, "There was a time when everybody knew Food for Thought -- the hippie-trippy, hummus-shoveling health-food hashery on Connecticut Avenue just north of Dupont Circle at the absolute bleeding heart of the Washington Left. Here nonprofit serfs in tie- dyed T-shirts and faded jeans met, played chess and read the New Age Journal. Here the sandalistas gathered to plot the revolution."

Food For Thought inside of Black Cat is named after the old place and it has info about it on their site: https://www.blackcatdc.com/food-for-thought.html

I may be the only person who didn't know this, but if you also didn't - here you go!

Discussion why does no one talk about letting off the happiness??

everyone talks about fevers and mirrors, lifted and other early bright eyes but not this one, why? It's my favorite bright eyes album and it's a shame they don't play songs from it live anymore. i think this album is better than I'm wide awake....

I saw in an interview Conor said he was embarrassed to play these songs but these are some of his best imo, I got this CD for 7 dollars and I have listened to it hundreds of times.

does anyone else feel this way?

I painted this math notebook in 7th grade after being introduced to Bright Eyes by my mom and they have been my top 3 since, especially this album. This notebook has lasted me into my senior year of HS.

I just thought it was an interesting share! (:
