Indeed. Looks like there will be another Best Contemporary Folk Grammy for Steve next year. I always liked his self produced albums with Ray Kennedy as twangtrust, but I'm extremely pleased with the job T Bone Burnett did on this one. Sara Watkins is great on the fiddle also. The Gulf Of Mexico is the best song that I have heard addressing the BP spill.
If you like Wake And Be Fine Your gonna love this album. It falls nicely in line with The Stand Ins which I loved but I wasn't even prepared for how this record is. It's really grabbed ahold of me the past few days. A wonderful spring album with its lush arrangements.
You're gonna love it.
I was having a conversation about Okkervil playing Lolla, just this weekend. I think your right. The omission of Chicago dates and not being on the P4K line up can only mean one thing. I hope you guys get em.
This is just getting me even more excited for June.
Good to hear. I was shocked to not see them on the Lolla lineup. I've never got a chance to see them and the closest they're coming to Milwaukee is like the Cities I think. The album is streaming on NPR til next week though so I'm going to listen tonight.

Rumor has it keep your eyes glued to the street fests there. IDK which one though.
Now, please don't dismiss this due to band name or genre classification... I bought this album last year, and it has quickly become one of my favorite electronic albums of all time. Please do check out reviews to this under-appreciated masterpiece of a record. Elements of IDM, trip hop, EBM, and early 90s indie rock decorate this original and groundbreaking album.
"Mindstream", the two "Original Control..." tracks, "Your Mind Belongs To The State", "Circles", "Brainwashed This Way/Zombie/That Shirt", and "Placebo" are all absolutely amazing standout tracks, among other great songs.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

You're right garageland, the new Okkervil River is really really good. I liked "Wake And Be Fine" quite a bit when I first heard it, and I don't even know if it's in the top half of the tracks on there.
Not that there's anything wrong with their first two albums as I like those, but their last four from Black Sheep Boy to this have just been consistently very good. They really need more recognition.
This album is almost the exact same length as my morning commute to work. Needless to say, I may be listening to this almost every day for the next month.
By the way, I was lost in the internets the other night and realized that Allen Toussaint produced Desitively Bonnaroo. I didn't know that, but should make for a very, very fun show (seeing how he helped make the music in the first place).
