Opportunities Abound

While this has been out for a bit, I thought I'd mention it in case you missed it. Okkervil River have an EP (in MP3 format) entitled Golden Opportunites Mixtape that is available as a free download from their website. The EP was released during the holiday season and contains mostly cover songs that were recorded on tour. There is also one original song as well. Tracks include;

1. APRIL ANNE (John Phillips)
   
2. SIMON SMITH AND THE AMAZING DANCING BEAR (Randy Newman)
   
3. I WANT TO KNOW (Charles F. Olsen/Ed Sanders)
   
4. DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO (Jimmy Webb)
   
5. I CAME HERE TO SAY IM GOING AWAY (Serge Gainsbourg/Trans. by W. Sheff)
   
6. THE BLONDE IN THE BLEACHERS (Joni Mitchell)
   
7. ANTARCTICA STARTS HERE (John Cale)
   
8. LISTENING TO OTIS REDDING AT HOME DURING CHRISTMAS (Will Sheff)
