Sorry if I'm invading your journal. I saw a comment you posted in ONTD and I replied back with icon love. hehe I was wondering though, have you ever seen Okkervil in concert? My boyfriend actually saw them in NY and said Will Sheff was amazing. He said that Will was drunk and crying on stage and very emotional during the concert and was also pissed that NY wouldn't let them stand or get closer to the band at all.
hey, i was commenting to you in askanurse, but they have some strict rules, so i don't want to get myself in trouble and decided to come here instead. sometimes it takes a bit for askanurse ppl to reply. and sometimes no one answers. it happens. so far we only have one okkervil cd "don't fall in love with everyone you see" (though i recognized your icon being from a diff one) do you have a recommendation for the next we should get? if it means anything to you in recommending, we love tracks i think 3, 6, 7, and 9 the best on it.
The one in my icon is Down the River of Golden Dreams which is their first album and the one right before don't fall in love with everyone you see. It's really good and pretty similar to that album.
Their best album is Black Sheep Boy/Black Sheep Boy appendix which is this long concept album dealing with a boy who is outcast and his love for a girl that is emotionally cold and lots of other storylines. I definitely recommend it.
I would not get their new album, the Stage Names, until you've heard the other ones. It's a departure for them and not as good as the other albums.
