When I saw Zykos open for Okkervil River (which they do a lot, apparently, since Okkervil River has a song on one of their latest albums titled "On Tour with Zykos") they randomly sold $5 t-shirts. I went home and bought their EP on Amazon MP3 (instead of from them in person) and then commented on their Myspace that they should put the rest of their material up on Amazon MP3. It's been a few months and it looks like they listened to me. Their complete catalog (two albums + E.P.) is up on Amazon. How swell.

At the Henry Fonda, my girlfriend and I both preferred the sound of the vocalist live to how he sounds on the album. His voice isn't so deep and gravely live, and I wonder why he sounds that way on the album. It doesn't detract from the song at all, it's just different.

This is a definite "hump day" (Wednesday, you see, if you're unfamiliar) song. Feels to me like tumbling downhill. Preferably at a park somewhere. At a young age. Getting your pants all covered in grass stains. It's supposed to be 80 today in Southern California. Maybe I'll go tumble down some hills.
