As a music reviewer I must try to be as objective as possible. I don't write a fanblog. I don't think I have a problem in this matter. I started writing about unknown bands two years ago and since then I write about five reviews a week. This are about 550 posts and in twelve of them I've written about a band or singer a second time. But when I like a band, I want to write about them. Today I'll write a thord post about Okkervil River. Just a short piece to tell you about a free downloadable cover album from this Texan band. "Golden Opportunities Mixtape" contains covers of songs by artists like John Cale, Joni Mitchell, John Philips and a beautiful English version of "Je Suis Venu Te Dire Que Je M'En Vais" (translated by Will Sheff) from Serge Gainsbourg. The songs on this album are no copied songs, but very recognizable Okkervil River-versions. For the fans...
