The introduction of all these new artists and songs is what makes me a listener. I am constantly surprised at what I can hear. It's what underground radio yearned to be and in some instances was. But what Bill does is take music from all genres and make it accessible to those of us without the time or money to be able to enjoy the vast array of talent both from the past (where I'm from) to the present which has given me countless hours of first-class entertainment. Hats off to you both! What a great service you do!     {#Bananapiano}{#Bananajam}{#Drummer}

This song opens like that recent Norah Jones tune. Almost indistinguishable.

I really like his latest "Kiss Each Other Clean".  Also I&W w/ Calexico "In The Reins".  I would imagine there are many other gems that I have not had a chance to explore yet.

Yep, and the time and place for Iron & Wine is midnight in bed, as they sing some great lullabies, more effective than a bottle of Dreamy Sleepy Nighty Snoozy-Snooze {#Sleep}

Ditto. (Well, I wasn't thinking Johnny Cash.  So, Half-ditto?) I'm kind of hoping "Personal Jesus" follows.
 
Or maybe "Rusty Cage".,,

One of the few reasons why I like human beings. One can utterly love something and someone else can just hate it passionately.

btw I like it. Neither love nor hate. like. quite.

Always loved this song — was surprised I had never rated it before!  gets a 9 from me — never gets old.  I really like the subtle use of banjo here MUCH better than the all out wild banjo playing used on other songs (ie: Mumford & Sons).
