Bright Eyes of Omaha's Saddle Creek made music history last week as the singles "Lua" and "Take It Easy (Love Nothing)," held the number one and two spots respectively on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles Sales chart. The "band," with a perpetually fluid line-up of musicians too good to be so disturbingly anonymous, has only one constant -- singer/songwriter/ mastermind Conor Oberst. At the ripe young age of 24, Oberst became the first artist since Puff Daddy to have a hand in the top two singles. Puffy's moment at the top occurred in 1997 with Faith Evans at number one with "I'll Be Missing You" and his collaboration with Mase "Mo Money Mo Problems" at number two. The feat is especially incredible for an indie label artist and bodes well for indies as they face an uncertain landscape of major label consolidation. Only time will tell, but it seems to give credence to the argument that a music industry with fewer, leaner major labels makes room for stronger and more competitive indies.
