OKKERVIL RIVER - BLACK SHEEP BOY (LP)BLACK VINYL LP. "Black Sheep Boy is Okkervil Rivers most ambitious and cinematic record yet, a love story and adult fable that evokes the mature songcraft of Leonard Cohens New Skin for the Old Ceremony, the sophistication of Scott Walkers Scott 4, the shambling slow motion bravado of Neil Youngs On the Beach, and the raw nerves and trick effects of Big Stars Third Sister Lovers. It also occasionally echoes Lou Reeds Transformer in that it is actually

BLACK VINYL LP.

"Black Sheep Boy is Okkervil River’s most ambitious and cinematic record yet, a love story and adult fable that evokes the mature songcraft of Leonard Cohen’s New Skin for the Old Ceremony, the sophistication of Scott Walker’s Scott 4, the shambling slow-motion bravado of Neil Young’s On the Beach, and the raw nerves and trick effects of Big Star’s Third/Sister Lovers. It also occasionally echoes Lou Reed’s Transformer in that it is actually the band’s most playful and confident record by far, delighting in linguistic games, scrapping all caution and reserve, reveling equally in sheer pop, lacerating rock and roll, and straight-up country weepers. The most fully-realized and wildly adventurous Okkervil River record yet also introduces into the modern folk bellwether’s traditional palette of mandolin, pump organ, steel guitar, Wurlitzer, strings and horns such previously foreign elements as children’s keyboards, digitally-manipulated field recordings, and dirty splatters of distorted guitar. The longing might be keener, but the fun is funner this time around, too; somebody has spiked the drinks, and there are at least two bullets in the Russian roulette chamber.Most of the songs for Black Sheep Boy were written by Sheff after he’d moved out of his house to spend all of 2003 on the road, touring for Down the River of Golden Dreams and road-tripping around the country during off weeks. After rehearsing many of the new songs on the road during tours with Califone, John Vanderslice, Azure Ray, CocoRosie, and Clem Snide, the band retreated to an un-air-conditioned Austin, Texas tin roof shed to solidify the arrangements before going into the home studio of Brian Beattie (an ex-member of Austin legends Glass Eye as well as a producer for Daniel Johnston) who also recorded the band’s Jagjaguwar debut Don’t Fall in Love with Everyone You See."

Very comfy sheets, nice fabric
Size: Full, Color: Oatmeal
I wasn’t expecting such good quality forthis price. They’re very soft, but of fairly thick fabric. I’m sleeping great on them. The pockets are deep enough for an 8” foam mattress plus my 3” topper. Will be getting another set for the second bedroom.

Great Sheets!
Size: Twin, Color: Oatmeal
Super soft, wash up beautifully, seem well made — very happy! It’s very hard to find 100% cotton t-shirt type sheets and these are really lovely.

Weirdly textured
Size: King, Color: Dark Gray
I have bought and loved jersey sheets in the past, that have all been as soft as a well worn cotton t-shirt. These arent soft. They have the stretch of jersey, but not the soft smooth texture that they should have. Even after washing a few times these are one of my least favorite sheets I've ever bought on Amazon.

Top sheet changes everythang
Color: Solid Off White(flat Sheet Only), Size: Twin
There are a lot of negative reviews due to the price for what is only a top sheet. It is a bit pricy, though I sleep in a twin so it wasn’t too bad. However I read reviews for cheaper top sheets and theres so many stories of them falling apart, pilling, or feeling terrible. Absolutely no pilling or falling apart after the first wash and dry. Stuck it right on my bed and its very cozy and fits perfectly. Not too hot and not too cold. For any first time bedsheet shoppers: i wasnt sure what type i’d want. Cotton? Microfiber? Sateen? I went with jersey because I think the one my mom uses was that and i loved it as a kid. This definitely feels like a thicker T shirt- not as plush soft or smooth as I wanted, but not rough by any means. Its not clingy either. I swapped from a microfiber (cheap set from walmart with cartoon characters on it) and the top sheet literally changed everything. I don’t toss and turn at night! I wake up and it takes seconds to make my bed- i’m not untying a huge knot. It adds such a tiny bit of weight thats so comfy and cozy and not hot. You can be certain you’re not taking a risk with this brand at the price. Very mych happy with my purchase and have been sleeping a lot better.
