Okkervil River Tour Dates and Legos

Following a short stint in Australia in September(see below), Will Sheff and the rest of the Okkervil River boys will be heading out on an almost country spanning tour through most of October. Looks like the West coast is actually getting left out for once (no offense to you guys, but you always take all the good shows). Chatter around the band's official message board indicates that they'll be playing and premiering a whole bunch of new songs on this tour. Woo!

Today I found a link to this video someone made on YouTube, it's a Lego animated music video for the Okkervil River song "For Real." I don't quite understand the video but I guess it's pretty cool and I have a lot of respect for whoever animated it.

Stumble It!
