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"....
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.
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 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.
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 :)
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
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'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]
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.
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.
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
I think this is cute and none of you will cahnge my mind. I'd like to remind the people bitching about "him only getting attention cause he's famous": please consider that not all of us grew up in the USA where it's all about popularity and stuff like that. There ARE places in the world where kids actually GET ALONG and where it is considered "cool" to hang out with as many different people as possible.
I watched this video 2 times and I think the weird thing is his hair... that haircut shows too much of his ears and those glasses are way too geeky (not in a sexy geeky way). I've met him once and he is such a cutie. But then again, I fall for poets... I imagine if he'd written Lady gaga's Poker Face I probably would think he looks like a Startrek fan here (no offence to Startrek fans out there though) but since I adore him, I just say he looks young... and God knows I was creepy at highschool!
Oh god, that's messed up. Conor isn't that kind of guy who would like that. But still, god that makes me mad though. I try to ignore people you know, but on a LOT of videos there's this people who say something about how they love Conor and I'm like, do you love Conor...because of his music? Or because of his face? And look, already someone disliked my comment because I didn't like the "harry Potter" talk.
yeah, I guess glasses aren't so rock'n'roll. but then, neither is laser correction really. But it is more sensible than what Lennon (and I think Dylan) did. He just didn't wear his glasses and tripped around the stage...! so he said...
I wouldn't believe this nerd is Conor if not for the distinctive way he talks.
Haha I love the intensity in his voice. "THIS IS THE BEST MUSIC STORE IN THE COUNTRY."
He still talks the same exact way! The mannerisms and the way he moves, everything lol. I love him so much
Once the Second Battle of Hogwarts was over, Harry Potter went into hiding and emerged as Conor Oberst.
this is one of the most adorable things ever. i love him all geeky

i'm just gonna say it:
he's stoned.
He kinda looks like the kid from monster house in this video
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.
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!
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
How do I always end up back here?
I think who ever recorded this knew he was going to become something great.
the description was almost as entertaining as the video itsself haha.
AHHHH!! hes so cute!!
his geeky ness makes my heart melt.
amazing video
Ive watched this 100 times oh god my heart
Haha this is a gem
LMFAO!!! he's fucking adorable!!
I've watched this ten times today

hell yeah! hands down omaha has some of the best record stores in the nation!
omg, that really made my (terrible horrible) day! thank you!!!!
Oh my god...oh my god
That man in the background is the real legend.
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.
haha hes harry potter when he was younger with short hair n when he got older with long hair he looked like snape, love conor!
This Video was old when it was uploaded. Now its over ten years later. Damn
this guy is gonna be the death of me I can't hadle all this cuteness
He looks so excited, haha.
I love this.
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.
DJ Shadow - Midnight in a Perfect World, that is a record store I'd like to visit one day.
I hadn't watched this in years! I love him, even as his nerdy self!

modestmousekateer...this is from Spend an Evening with Saddle Creek. you can buy it from a store, order it. easy to get.

Cannot believe I did not seen this sooner. Totally agree with comment below. hilarious.
thank you for uploading this! :) does anyone know what record store conor's talking about?
thank you.
OMG I love him even more now

AMEN
cutest thing ive ever seen
If Harry Potter was a mouse, this would be it.
the antiquarium bookstore, omaha, ne
dave sink behind the counter
tell me about it... all these people who "claim" Conor Oberst have no idea what it's like to be different.

&& now i love him even more
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
You, man, you understand me.
let me just tell you, it made my life.
LIKE not even kidding. your a good guy.
He's pretty much the same name minus the glasses.
Oh, and by the way... that "Conor Sexbomb Oberst" description made me choke while smoking my cig!!! XD
The saddle creek necklace days!
i can’t believe he was freaking 13 here
more like 17
I respect him a lot more now...
I love how pretentious his entire being is. He has always been ridiculously pretentious - it's perfect. I love it.
Everybody cars, except for me. I use a bicycle :D
Oh my gosh. So fricken cute. I adore him.
he must have started to smoke weed in order to become the conor we have today. i mean shiit that stuff sure changed me and for the better.
EEEEEEEEEE
ahem.
love your little description btw
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
I think this is cute and none of you will cahnge my mind.
I'd like to remind the people bitching about "him only getting attention cause he's famous": please consider that not all of us grew up in the USA where it's all about popularity and stuff like that. There ARE places in the world where kids actually GET ALONG and where it is considered "cool" to hang out with as many different people as possible.
holy shit that bowlcut lmao
I'm pretty sure that's not Homer's. It looks a lot more like The Antiquarium.
the antiquarium (in its old spot in the basement of the bookstore)
I watched this video 2 times and I think the weird thing is his hair... that haircut shows too much of his ears and those glasses are way too geeky (not in a sexy geeky way). I've met him once and he is such a cutie. But then again, I fall for poets...

what a cutie pie
yeah, he doesn't wear it anymore... it's been a while now
Man, you said it.
@valvalmonster
hes not a weirdo, hes conor FUCKIN oberstt!!!!! yayuhhhhhh
aw. i love him so fucking much.
i didn't realize his middle name was sexbomb
i heard he had laser vision correction
Oh god, that's messed up. Conor isn't that kind of guy who would like that. But still, god that makes me mad though. I try to ignore people you know, but on a LOT of videos there's this people who say something about how they love Conor and I'm like, do you love Conor...because of his music? Or because of his face?
And look, already someone disliked my comment because I didn't like the "harry Potter" talk.
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.
i love this video so much
aahaha
he's a genius.
yeah he said in an interview
This is so true!
Probaly circa 1996 or so.
gah! i love how he was a nerd! lovely
THE NECKLACE!
wholly cow i want to see more!
this is the antiquarium yo
Yeah, I've never been impressed by supposed indie store people. They rarely have a proper sense of customer service, and can be downright rude.
that's lens distortion
This looks like about 1996 or so.
That necklace..
i know! ui thought i was the oly one who noticed that!
what a babe
his talk of used CDs really turns me on
You forgot park avenue he was in that band when he was really young.
Where/when/how did you get your (virtual) hands on this piece of video?
haha he looks like harry potter
yeah, I guess glasses aren't so rock'n'roll. but then, neither is laser correction really. But it is more sensible than what Lennon (and I think Dylan) did. He just didn't wear his glasses and tripped around the stage...! so he said...
Are you freaking serious?! That was Conor Oberst? Are we sure? Sweeeeeet. I like him more now :D
