This Song Kicks
I have been reading lots of these best of 2007 music lists lately to see if there are any gems I might have missed on the music scene this year. I am a music consumer from rock ‘n’ roll to rap, indie and alternative to electronica, you name it I will give it a listen. (unless it is country or polka) I came across this Okkervil River record and have listened to it a bunch. It is very much one of those grows on you records. Even as it has grown on me I haven’t fallen for it completely, there are some good tracks and some that I could do without.
Last night at the grocery store pushing around my cart in the most anti social of ways with my hood up and my iPhone rocking this track came on. I found myself dancing with my cart, and smiling at shoppers stuck with their brat kids pulling boxes of fruity pebbles off the shelves. Okkervil River does a good job of making me smile and makes the banality of life seem a bit more colorful.
