Okkervil River Kick Off North American Tour

Also, don't forget to mark November 22 with a big black sheep on the calendar, as Black Sheep Boy Appendix, the follow-up EP to the latest Okkervil River album, Black Sheep Boy, hits stores then. It is "a condensed, alternate vision of that record's imagery and themes, with the ultimate intent to exhaust and destroy both," according to the Jagjaguwar website. Shit, that's more than we've done all year.
