Rockstars are cool. They just are.

Graham has become obsessed with Okkervil River. He first got to know it as Daddy's band, but these days it's all about the frontman.

"I want WILL!" he'll announce, as soon as we get into the car. "Play some Will rock and roll." He gets that Will is our friend, and occasionally even recollects the last time Will came to our house for dinner. Graham let him help build a puzzle -- a pretty big honor.

So lately it's all about Okkervil when we go out driving, meaning that other fine bands (New Pornographers, for example) are gathering dust. His favorite song on The Stage Names is "A Hand to Take Hold of the Scene," which he has condensed to "Hand Song."
