I've become a big fan of Okkervil River in the past year, mostly because of this year's The Stage Names, which ended up as No. 2 on my best of 2007 list. Earlier in the year, Daytrotter made its session with band available for complimentary download (which is still available), and now the band is giving us more free tunes in the form of Golden Opportunities, a mixtape of mostly live covers recorded on the band's 2006-07 tour. There are tunes by Joni Mitchell, John Cale and an original called "Listening to Otis Redding at Home During Christmas." Download the entire EP for free here.

Thanks for the heads-up, Joel. Speaking of Okkervil, have you listened to Shearwater at all? They're another project of Meiburg and Sheff (and I think I actually prefer their work as Shearwater to their work as Okkervil River).
I've been meaning to check Shearwater out but haven't yet. Sounds like I need to. Thanks.
