The stand in(s)
October 13, 2008I have been neglectful of this blob recently… mostly due to the internet connectivity problems that kept recurring from the beginning of August onwards (bad enough that I cancelled my DSL service and am now surfing via cable)… No Fun writing a post and then having it eaten up when the internet connection goes kerflooey. Much swearing, as you can well imagine… More than usual, I mean.
But lookee here: cy did my work for me this weekend, by writing about the new Okkervil River album so’s I don’t hafta: my stand-in for The Stand Ins, as it were. 
Here’s the new song mentioned in the article’s sidebar.
(BTW, I noticed that Snapdrive deleted all my files a couple weeks ago, so the music players in my older posts no longer work and neither do the downloads for those songs. So no, it’s not your computer that won’t play ‘em. It’s just that they’re gone.)
Wow, nice song. I liked it. It was kind of Johnny Cash twisted up with Lloyd Cole and the Commotions.
