There you go, breaking through my expectations. What is up with you, giving me all this good music that is not country?*

I’m talking about Okkervil River, which I saw in Seattle and hated in concert (the lead singer was Harry Potter trying to be Conor Oberst), but then I fell in love with “Seas Too Far To Reach” in a studio-recorded version.

A friend recently introduced me to Eisley, which has beautiful videos, and I love the lead singer’s voice.

Oh, yeah, and Polyphonic Spree is from there.

And now, I am getting into the Nourallah Brothers — I just listened to “I’ll Be Around” and almost cried.

*I like country, I’m just surprised.
