Love Vigilantes

I know I’ve pushed The Decemberists album to the point you probably think I’m working for them. I’m not, I promise. This will be the last plug for the recent album for a while. I wrote a review of the album for www.Niagara musicscene.com and am going to post the link here, along with links to my other two CD reviews.

Not that I’m done cheap plugging my work, let’s get back to the music.

First, I should tell you about the wonderful site where I found this band. I was wasting time on www.Stumbleupon.com the other day (amazing site by the way. If you’re looking to waste an hour or two, Stumble is for you) and I came across the site www.8tracks.com .

The site is pretty simple: people put together playlists for every mood, weather pattern, emotion, etc. There are playlists for good moods, bad moods, happy days, sad days, breakups, reunions, etc. Essentially whatever you’re looking for, they have it.

So anyways, I was listening to an “indie” acoustic playlist and came across the artist Iron & Wine. I had heard of them before, but never really got into it. And then I heard Love Vigilantes. What a song! Some of you might just say it’s another acoustic ballad with a soft voice, but I’m a sucker for them so I loved it.
