Good show this morning, though I'm dragging now since I still haven't mastered the 4:30 wake up. A couple of quality requests and a song from the much-anticipated (at least for me) Calexico/Iron and Wine collaboration. It'll hopefully be up for podcasting later tonight.

Heard about a half hour on the ride to work today. Great show, I'll be looking for the podcast.

The Calexico & Wine EP leaked a few weeks ago and as a huge I&W fan I gotta say... it comes up a little short. It definitely has the Mexicali vibe you are expecting, but not to the extent I had hoped, and Sam Beam's vocals are sorely de-emphasized by the abundance of instrumentation. The first song, "He lays in the Reins", is everything you could expect, but the rest of the album leaves a little to be desired.

Also, if you've come to know and love the original Creek-era versions of songs like "Red Dust" and "Dead Man's Will," you might be dissapointed.

Cool, thanks for the info. I actually played He Lay in the Reins and didn't have time to listen to the rest of the songs . . . tinymixtapes' review pretty much echoed your sentiments as well.

All of that makes a lot of sense. Okay, I don't know crap about it. hey, have I mentioned I'm obsessed with The Mountain Goats? Totally obsessed.
