Okkervil River - "Plus Ones" Examined

Aug 1, 2007, 2:55pm blogs are for dogs

On their highly-anticipated fourth album, The Stage Names , Okkervil River turn their lyrical songwriting away from ambitious myth-making, focusing it instead on the lives of artists and performers. Where 2005's Black Sheep Boy revolved around the single titular figure, Stage Names features a full cast of characters - musicians, actors, poets, and the like - many of them fictional but some very real, including a few drawn from the band itself. Frontman Will Sheff explains: Okkervil River has always had this weird kind of antiquated feeling to it, and I [...]

Thrifty Music, Vol. 7: Tip Of the Iceberg

Jul 30, 2007, 9:21am Rock Town Hall

Greetings, fellow seekers -- It's been too long. My contemplative journey through the bins and baskets of our Capital's thrift stores has taken me to places unseen, unearthing treasures that have left even my vinyl guru, E. Pluribus Gergley , scratching his head in wonderment. In truth, my recent aimless wanderings have resulted in far more interesting music than I could reasonably post in one collection; hence, I am dividing the lot, in no particular order of style or quality, in batches of five songs apiece. I hope you enjoy [...]

? & The Mysterians

Jan 18, 2007, 1:40pm WFMU's Beware of the Blog

You'd have to search pretty hard for a more amazing rock & roll band than ? & The Mysterians. Formed in 1962 in Saginaw, Michigan, the Mexican-American teens named themselves after a late night TV sci-fi flick The Mysterians . They scored a #1 hit with 96 Tears in the sultry summer of '66, released a couple of amazing LPs and 45s and then vaporized from show biz and seemingly the planet. In 1997 "the voices from the future" called the boys back into action and The Mysterians dutifully heeded that call. Beating [...]
