As some of you may or may not know, as I've missed this thread entirely, I'm an enormous fan of Okkervil River (in fanship, not body size). Anyways, they just announced a "tour" and they're not coming here. I am not floating down the river of golden dreams right now.

Pitchfork also had this to say, which at least kind of made up for the lack of a show that's even remotely close to here:
As previously reported, Okkervil River are currently working on new material, though whether or not it will amount to a new LP has yet to be seen. In April, Jagjaguwar said that the band recorded 22 brand new, very Dylan-/Stones-esque tracks, "complete with ridiculous lyric matter, genre hopping country and R&B numbers, inspired covers, and easily a half dozen moments of pure genius..."

Yay for new music, boo for tours that don't even go to the western half of the US (Texas doesn't count.....for anything....)
