Colin -- 18, 19, and 20 are being transferred to you at this very moment.

Attention all other curious Obnerinians:

If you haven't heard this album and would like to, you can grab it from me at Clever Cactus.

I've had that Daryll-Ann CD on order from Parasol for a few weeks now, but these other two are a complete mystery to me.

Might have to take you up on that offer FT!

Good album, but I've got to disagree on the "Shearwater's got all the momentum" and "no throwaway lines" comments... Down the River of Golden Dreams is maybe my favorite album of the last 5 years, and in my opinion carries a more unique sound and is stronger throughout. Will Sheff's songs on "Winged Life" really sound like his "B" material, whereas the other guys tracks really shine. And I absolutely cringe when Sheff tries to jam a lengthy, lame metaphor into a few syllables - something like "I would be someone that should be put in a straightjacket" instead of "I would be crazy." Bad.

In retrospect, I probably should have stated it differently, so as not to seem as if I were denigrating Okkervil River. I am a big fan of Down the River of Golden Dreams, as well. I appreciate the feedback, Aaron, and promise to start putting more thought into what I write. I've been making the mistake of trying to skip that necessary extra level of self-editing.

Great site, Bob. I'd love to get one going and commit to it but I get so bored so easily. That should be my New Year's Resolution. To begin a blog and maintain it.

If I do one, can you help me with the layout. I don't like the templates Blogger provides to you.

Sure! My layout is just a bastardized version of a standard Blogger template.

No doubt about it, CG! I'm nothing, if not an insecure attention-craving nuisance.
