Kevin Doyle" Subject: Re: [loud-fans] RE: At the half... Allow me to be boring and predictable and state how much I have enjoyed Bowie's "The Next Day." My current infatuation, however, is with Jason Isbell's Southestern, with the new Kanye West and Daft Punk also getting a lot of play. Clearly, my next batch of improvised music is going to be country tinged 70's influenced dance music with lyrics about not being able to get a good cup of latte.

I'm kind of surprised there's been no mention of Iron and Wine's latest, "Ghost on Ghost". I don't think it quite rises to the heights set by "Kiss Each Other Clean", but it's a grower. The song "Desert Babbler" certainly ranks among his finest. If you haven't been paying attention, Sam Beam has turned I&W into a sort of Steely Dan for the composting set (and I mean that in the best possible way).
