Here is my favorite off of the new album. I love it, but in the interest of full disclosure, I am blinded by bias when it comes to Sam Beam. He is on that same pedestal where I keep Jack White,Jeff Tweedy, and a handful of other songwriters...I just don't think these guys would release something that wasn't great

For tonight, my goal is to post the LONGEST song ever in the history of MOGdom...dream big moggers, dream bigAnd don't worry, i wouldn't post a nine minute song unless it was great

Originally pressed as a B-side to the Postal Service's single, this Iron & Wine tune really started bending ears when it showed up on the soundtrack for Zach Braff's Garden State. A masterful cover, it trades Jimmy Tamborello's skittering, Nintendo beats for plaintive acoustic guitar chords and Ben Gibbard's sincere yelp for Sam Beam's hushed vocal.Beam's take not only explores the tenderness ...

The light is soft, with touch of salty grey. I wish I woke up at the ocean today. Here the weightless mist penetrates the morning meadows. Here the frantic commuters congest the roadway. Here we look not at the horizon soft and mellow. I wish I woke up at the ocean today. There vapor from the marshes would penetrate the beaches. With soft, comforting hands it reaches, over vast warm san...

A few days ago, I got into a conversation with a friend of mine about Iron & Wine. We both had been fans for years (me more than him) but for some reason he had never checked out last year's album, The Shepherd's Dog. As soon as he told me this, I told him how much I hated that album. I had listened 2 or 3 times before deciding that it just would not grow on me and promptly forgot about it...

For the past two days I've been under the weather, but there will be nothing that will hold me back from getting to the Blitzen Trapper/Iron & Wine concert at Babeville (Ani Difranco's church here in B-lo) tomorrow night. I lit up the other night when it hit me that I was finally going to be standing in the same room as Mr. Sam Beam. I'm thrilled, just thrilled. I've already prepared myself ...
