A few readers have noted that David Bazan is touring with Bright Eyes under the name “Paperback”. Here’s one message I got:

“I was at a Bright Eyes show last night in Portland, Ore, with openers Paperback and Arab Strap. It seems, strangely, that Paperback was actually Davad Bazan playing a few unreleased songs. I’m not sure why he went under a different name, but, after a few songs, people caught on, so David played a Pedro song. He only played 5 or 6 songs.” — S. Boyechko

We may get some mp3s up from the shows eventually.
