Daytrotter, which broadcasts reliably excellent live shows from major and up-and-coming indy bands (and which???bless their hearts???releases tracks as mp3s, free to all) has been a favorite source of new music around the office for some time. In fact, we would go as far as to say that a number of Daytrotter session tracks are superior to the recorded version. A little over a year ago, the site launched a spin-off feature called Bookery, in which musical guests select and read passages from books and the occasional cinema classic. When Okkervil River recorded a session late last year, it seemed natural that the bandleader, Will Sheff would read from the Tatyana Tolstaya story that gave his band its name.
