sweet!

Great damn show. They were keen to play all night but, alas, it could not be so. Highlights for me were A Girl In Port & Your Past Life is A Blast. Sheff is a star, looking forward to tomorrow nights solo show.

Your Past Life is A Blast. - This song was done so well....

good show last night at the metro. Setlist across all their records with most from the latest and black sheep boy. I was a bit gutted not to get A Stone but how was Will to know it's my favourite tune.

Will did a lovely version of A Stone at the solo show in Melbourne Sunday.

Yea he did one last time at the Annandale which was pretty special. Did he play other Okkervil River songs at the solo show or other stuff? I like the Golden Opportunitys mixtape which seems mostly him solo, doing a fair few covers.

All Okkervil River songs. Good mix of all albums-a few from the first album. I was hoping for Listening To Otis Redding At Home During Xmas but no dice.

Nice solo performance of Your Past Life As A Blast

He did a beautiful version on keys Sun.

nothing from 'down the river of golden dreams' at the solo show (that i remember), was disappointed with that. For Real sounded great with just him on keys too.

I did photos at the Metro last night, it was a great show.

will scheff is a sexy man.

Huh?!?!?

Any good?

Yea, it seems pretty good, pretty mellow. I've only had one listen. I don't know the original artists or songs so I can't comment about that. Give it a listen, money back guarantee.

so many references to this mix tape came up in my twitter feed. The first two songs are from records that are absolute must-haves, and have recently been reissued (by yoga records and light in the attic respectively).

but what kind of mixtape has five songs?

Thanks I'll look into those must haves. I guess 5 songs is really a bit half hearted but for free what can we really complain about?

true. ted lucas s/t is an amazing folk record, and the jim sullivan is like cosmic country or some shit. both amazing. doyerselfafavour
