WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

And on a seven day high, that heavenly song punches right through my mind

Posted over 2 years ago
Okkervil River is definitely a band that is on my top ten list of 2007. Lead singer Wil Sheff is far better than good. He does a pretty good job of making me want to stop making music. Their 2007 release The Stage Names [Jagjaguwar], has garnered and demanded my full attention since it's release in October.[Pause: Ugh, Jameson has a hangover right now, can you tell. What's not very apparent is how I'm just mashing my paws against my keyboard and letting my Firefox browser point out what I'm typing wrong (apparently it's everything). There's an utter lack of creativity to this post. And, I've referred to myself in the third person. This is gonna be an interesting morning.]So I'm gonna go treat this hangover with some H20 and a coffee, while you all enjoy Okkervil River playing at Waterloo Records this summer. Just remember, it doesn't even get me out of bed in the morning, unless it's kicks, man.http://threepints.net/mp3/Okkervil%20River%20-%20Unless%20It%27s%20Kicks.mp3"And on a seven day highThat heavenly songPunches right through my mindAnd pumps through my blood""What breaks this heart the most is the ghost of some rock and roll fanExploding up from the standsWith her heart opened upAnd I want to tell her, "your love isn't lost"Say, "my heart is still crossed"Scream, "you're so wonderful"What a dream in the darkAbout working so hardAbout growing so stonedTrying not to turn upTrying not to believe in the light"

  1. 1234chainsaw says Hey, I'm hung over too! (Those huevos rancheros helped, though.) We've already got "drogging" for mogging while drunk, but we've also got to coin a term for mogging while hung over. Somehow "hogging" doesn't sound right, though.

  2. jameson says Hogging connotates a whole different thing.... The hungover has largely subsided [thank you, French press], but the administration of some good music has helped immensely. Rufus Wainwright's new live disc Erin McKeown Marah and, obviously, some Okkervil River...
