When I'm Coming Down

Why, why, why hasn't there been more discussion of the new Bright Eyes album? Maybe it's our attention span. Or maybe nobody listened all the way through, because the last track is fi-i-ine. Best Bright Eyes yet.


I didn't realize how badly I wanted to hear new Okkervil River until the first single from The Stage Names was proffered. I'm giddy!


I think, more than anything, I'm in love with the strain in Will Sheff's voice.

I like some Okkervil River, but I hate that it's so okay in the indie world to give up good melodies for thoughtful or clever lyrics. I think it's great that Will Sheff thinks of himself as a thinker, and someone who can write; but if he wants to have his literary work appreciated, write a damn book. It's so hard to listen to the completely not catchy melodies.
