Iron & Wine Plans Winter World Tour


Micah C. Harding reports:
Check the striking constrast between the
delicate, hushed strums of benevolent Southern
folk artist Sam Beam and OH MY GOD HIS BRUTALLY
UNRELENTING TOUR SCHEDULE. It's nuts-- and it's
about to get nutser. The man's got two critically
acclaimed albums and many, many tour dates behind
him, but even with these admirable
accomplishments under his belt, he wants more.
What a greedy motherfucker! Leave some tour dates
for somebody else, you know what I'm saying?

Indeed: Come November 1st, the man will be taking
his music on an extensive cross-continental
journey. Over the course of two months, Beam will
play shows in England, Ireland, Spain, the
Netherlands, and, yes, even California.
Apparently, Europeans love the sounds of this
swampy songsmith as much as Americans-- he's even
featured on the Rebel Playlist, part of the
legendary Steve Lamacq's BBC 6 Music show. This
audience participation program provides a chance
for listeners to vote on tracks that didn't quite
make the cut for the regular BBC 6 Music showcase
(and it's a slightly more amiable name than "Pump
It or Dump It"). So exercise your right to vote
about something that actually matters! Ahh,
lighten up, ya fuckin' communazis. Datehole:
