this record store is the Antiquarium. At the time it was located in the basement of the book store by the same name and was located at 1215 Harney St In 2006 the book store moved to Brownville, NE and the record store moved around the corner to 417 S. 13th St.
Geez, I've watched this video too many times in the past to days. Past whatever could be considered normal. I swear to god I could sit all day and listen to conor talk.
yeah, I totally agree with you guys about this. and it isn't just conor oberst. in theory it's really hip to be unusual and slightly unpopular and all this, yet people have no self awareness. they laugh and say "how cute" but it's always in a superior-ish way. well, personally, watching this video I feel like I can RELATE to him to some degree. It's funny how the "weirdos" are the ones who get famous, and then set the standard for what's "cool"....
He definitly gave a look at like 20 seconds to 23 seconds that made it click pretty quick that it was him because I was expecting him to be standing somewhere lol
haha as i was watching i was "ok, so when is he going to show conor oberst" THEN i read the description thoroughly and it clicked, haha. it doesn't look like him at all, but as someone said, it's nice to know conor oberst wasn't always that sexy maniac-depressive genious.
You're totally right. This video is lovely- it's proven what I've thought of Mr. Oberst for quite some time. This young fellow is who he is really. Those who profess to 'loving' Conor Oberst...must love him before he was 'cool' to make any sense. At least I can be content with the fact that I'd get on with the man at that age, being of a similar age myself and still finding him fantastic :)
dude I totally agree. I love how you commented on his music. Not about his "sexy Harry Potter face" I respect that. But yeah, I agree. He's such an inspiration. I love how serious he is in the video.
i'm from omaha, ne -it was called antiquarium records. the original shop was in the basement of a bookstore and has since closed, they relocated to 13th street, though it isn't as good as it used to be
...Character yet if they were real, and they met them, no one would find him. Right now it just hit me, seeing the commentaries about his obsessive nerdom to music or his overall supposed 'weird factor'. The strangest characters are the ones with the beautiful minds and Conor Oberst is not weird. Like all those who have the same off beat nature, Conor is amazing. [end silly rant]
i bought cassadaga down at the antiquarium this summer (before it moved) and the guy working was giving me shit about it. i was like "seriously, why hate your neighbors?" then i credited him for being so fucking indie it hurt, told him i liked his beret (seriously wearing a beret) and left.
i wonder that too. like how many of the people who profess to love Conor would ever go out with the shy nerdy guy in their class, who's different and off-beat, but who *might* be brilliant? it's a little hypocritical that we throw riches on the richest and success upon the already successful.... not a silly rant at all
tell me about it... all these people who "claim" Conor Oberst have no idea what it's like to be different. What's more, they're possessive and exclude others which is so contrary to what this music is about. That's the worst: people who think they get it but miss completely. It's like they say they love Conor but they hate everybody who is just like him.
what are you talking about? i know him as an intelectual, and never thought once of him being a "poser." that's silly. all you have to do is listen to the lyrics he was writing when we was 13 and it's pretty evident that he's a smart kid.
I am seriously offended by the person who got upset because she saw a 14 year old at a concert. Age shouldn't matter, but all this aside, I hate people who judge others based on appearances. I always get treated as a child because I'm petite and look young. I'm an adult! Not a child
I wouldn't believe this nerd is Conor if not for the distinctive way he talks.
He still talks the same exact way! The mannerisms and the way he moves, everything lol. I love him so much
Haha I love the intensity in his voice. "THIS IS THE BEST MUSIC STORE IN THE COUNTRY."
Once the Second Battle of Hogwarts was over, Harry Potter went into hiding and emerged as Conor Oberst.
this record store is the Antiquarium. At the time it was located in the basement of the book store by the same name and was located at 1215 Harney St In 2006 the book store moved to Brownville, NE and the record store moved around the corner to 417 S. 13th St.
i'm just gonna say it:
he's stoned.
this is one of the most adorable things ever. i love him all geeky
What I love the most is his mannerisms and manner of speaking. He still talks like this even now when he does interviews, its so funny to me
Geez, I've watched this video too many times in the past to days. Past whatever could be considered normal. I swear to god I could sit all day and listen to conor talk.
He kinda looks like the kid from monster house in this video
How do I always end up back here?
the description was almost as entertaining as the video itsself haha.
I think who ever recorded this knew he was going to become something great.
AMAZING!!! He is so young but all the devoted fans know that he was making beautiful music, even back then. Thank you for putting this up. Five stars!

yeah, I totally agree with you guys about this. and it isn't just conor oberst. in theory it's really hip to be unusual and slightly unpopular and all this, yet people have no self awareness. they laugh and say "how cute" but it's always in a superior-ish way. well, personally, watching this video I feel like I can RELATE to him to some degree.
It's funny how the "weirdos" are the ones who get famous, and then set the standard for what's "cool"....
he looks really stoned
hell yeah! hands down omaha has some of the best record stores in the nation!

he's a genius.
You, man, you understand me.
I hadn't watched this in years! I love him, even as his nerdy self!
The saddle creek necklace days!
He definitly gave a look at like 20 seconds to 23 seconds that made it click pretty quick that it was him because I was expecting him to be standing somewhere lol
haha as i was watching i was "ok, so when is he going to show conor oberst" THEN i read the description thoroughly and it clicked, haha. it doesn't look like him at all, but as someone said, it's nice to know conor oberst wasn't always that sexy maniac-depressive genious.
i love this video so much
aahaha
&& now i love him even more
AMEN
Man, you said it.
If Harry Potter was a mouse, this would be it.
You're totally right. This video is lovely- it's proven what I've thought of Mr. Oberst for quite some time. This young fellow is who he is really. Those who profess to 'loving' Conor Oberst...must love him before he was 'cool' to make any sense. At least I can be content with the fact that I'd get on with the man at that age, being of a similar age myself and still finding him fantastic :)
THE NECKLACE!
wholly cow i want to see more!
holy shit that bowlcut lmao
awwww hes so wittle
let me just tell you, it made my life.
LIKE not even kidding. your a good guy.
Cannot believe I did not seen this sooner. Totally agree with comment below. hilarious.
what a cutie pie
dude I totally agree.
I love how you commented on his music. Not about his "sexy Harry Potter face"
I respect that.
But yeah, I agree. He's such an inspiration. I love how serious he is in the video.
this is the antiquarium yo
the antiquarium bookstore, omaha, ne
dave sink behind the counter
aw. i love him so fucking much.
i'm from omaha, ne -it was called antiquarium records. the original shop was in the basement of a bookstore and has since closed, they relocated to 13th street, though it isn't as good as it used to be
I respect him a lot more now...
Oh my gosh. So fricken cute. I adore him.
This is so true!
Oh, and by the way... that "Conor Sexbomb Oberst" description made me choke while smoking my cig!!! XD
the antiquarium (in its old spot in the basement of the bookstore)
That necklace..
Everybody cars, except for me. I use a bicycle :D
conor is my current age in this video, but this was 28 years ago. Weird to think that he's in his mid 40's or so now
...Character yet if they were real, and they met them, no one would find him.

[end silly rant]
Where/when/how did you get your (virtual) hands on this piece of video?
He's pretty much the same name minus the glasses.
yeah he said in an interview
gah! i love how he was a nerd! lovely
oh my, oh my.
i love him. xD
thank you for uploading this! :) does anyone know what record store conor's talking about?
i heard he had laser vision correction
i bought cassadaga down at the antiquarium this summer (before it moved) and the guy working was giving me shit about it. i was like "seriously, why hate your neighbors?" then i credited him for being so fucking indie it hurt, told him i liked his beret (seriously wearing a beret) and left.
modestmousekateer...this is from Spend an Evening with Saddle Creek. you can buy it from a store, order it. easy to get.
I HAVE THE SAME NECKLACE AS HIM!!
i wonder that too. like how many of the people who profess to love Conor would ever go out with the shy nerdy guy in their class, who's different and off-beat, but who *might* be brilliant? it's a little hypocritical that we throw riches on the richest and success upon the already successful.... not a silly rant at all
that's lens distortion
totally agree with you elloello66
@valvalmonster
hes not a weirdo, hes conor FUCKIN oberstt!!!!! yayuhhhhhh
tell me about it... all these people who "claim" Conor Oberst have no idea what it's like to be different.

It's like they say they love Conor but they hate everybody who is just like him.
So foxy.
yeah, he doesn't wear it anymore... it's been a while now
so cute! haha
haha he looks like harry potter
what are you talking about? i know him as an intelectual, and never thought once of him being a "poser." that's silly. all you have to do is listen to the lyrics he was writing when we was 13 and it's pretty evident that he's a smart kid.
i know! ui thought i was the oly one who noticed that!
i can’t believe he was freaking 13 here
more like 17
Omg its harry potter:o
this is the antiquarium im pretty sure of it
Haha that is really cute
I'm pretty sure that's not Homer's. It looks a lot more like The Antiquarium.
this guy is gonna be the death of me I can't hadle all this cuteness
i didn't realize his middle name was sexbomb
Wait...is it me or does he have a tiny lisp?
TOO cute. Haha.
I am seriously offended by the person who got upset because she saw a 14 year old at a concert. Age shouldn't matter, but all this aside, I hate people who judge others based on appearances. I always get treated as a child because I'm petite and look young. I'm an adult! Not a child
hahahah hilarious.
Looks like Harry Potter.
Hey I just saw him today in a record store in San Francisco...he payed a 45 min. set.
He's still cute, sounded like the Band at times.
