Is it just me, or does he sound like Robyn Hitchcock?
I respect Bejar and enjoy the work of his I've heard, but every time he sings, I hear Robyn Hitchcock. Which is not Bejar's fault, but I do. And personally, I'd rather hear Robyn Hitchcock. Which is more praise for Hitchcock than a slight against Bejar.
As for the debate on rock: If you doesn't think there's anything left to say by a white guy with a guitar, keep looking! The popular stuff may be tired, but good stuff is out there. I agree about the tired state of indie rock and the like, as well as the general ignorance on the part of most people of so many great artists and genre-benders. But rock (as an umbrella) is far more fluid than it's getting credit for here. It's been a river that's transported so many other types of music to places they'd never get to otherwise.
