I would love to know why both #HaleyHeynderickx and #JuliaJacklin let go of their original bands. I fear the worst. Like what if they tasted success so just ditched those who helped get them there. I know the bassist/back up singer/multi-instrumentalist for Haley Heynderickx is now the lead musician for a church outside Portland. And Jacklin had a great drummer. Just gone. #NaimaBock did the same thing and her music suffered. Including her producer who helped her a lot. Somehow with an inferior follow up album she now gets to open for #NeilYoung and #DinosaurJr. I knew right away after hearing Naima's first single before her first album that she could be bigger than #IronAndWine. Maybe even the potential to be the next #DavidBowie. But after her second, inferior album, it is clear that will never happen.

Was listening to #CatPower and then #Qobuz's recommended streaming next song was "Cinder and Smoke" by #IronAndWine and I cannot think of a better Sunday song. Especially since I have not listened to Sam Beam in a while. Years ago I was addicted to Iron & Wine, I had all the bootlegs before he asked us to stop sharing online so he could release a series of early home recordings on albums, but then Sam started putting out bad albums and I lost my ferocious love for him. His success tampered his originality.

Iron and Wine has released a charming video for the duet with Fiona Apple, “All in Good Time.” See what happens when the cinema staff sneaks off for some alone time. Spoiler alert: The kids go wild.

Continued thread

I should really create of directory of good, quality #IronAndWine at minorkey.net/, but if Sam were to ever come across it, well, I don't want to hurt his feelings because I still love the man. There is reason to believe he might come across it. When that site was active posts were being quoted as burbs for select musicians. It got a lot, lot of traffic, but no one was helping to donate for all the music I was buying, so I deleted it. No back up. Just gone.

#IronAndWine's recent new single, "You Never Know," actually isn't that bad. I am a big fan of his early albums and his bootlegs, later released as the Archive Series, but is more recent albums, really everything that came after The Shepherd's Dog [his last good album] (with the exception of the Archive Series, but those are very early bootlegs), has been awful. It is nice to hear #SamBeam release a good song again. #NewMusic #IndieMusic #Indie #NowPlaying
