Love vigilantes and iron and wine

Fresh off his Colorado stop, Sam Beam swung by Jimmy Fallon last night to perform the stunning unreleased “Godless Brother In Love” (which you can see here).

As a bonus, he also sang this lovely version of New Order’s “Love Vigilantes,” featured on his new double album Around The Well:



I’ve also been listening to Voxtrot‘s cover over the last few days — I’ve had them on the brain because Love Language makes me think of Voxtrot. Get it? No.

…Or Laura Cantrell‘s burnished bluegrass take on it earlier this year:

Also, for your “garden-party-with-an-edge”:

And….the 1985 original that never gets old.

"I love the relationship that anyone has with music: because there's something in us that is beyond the reach of words, something that eludes and defies our best attempts to spit it out. It's the best part of us, probably, the richest and strangest part..."
—Nick Hornby, Songbook
"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel."
—Hunter S. Thompson

Mp3s are for sampling purposes, kinda like when they give you the cheese cube at Costco, knowing that you'll often go home with having bought the whole 7 lb. spiced Brie log. They are left up for a limited time. If you LIKE the music, go and support these artists, buy their schwag, go to their concerts, purchase their CDs/records and tell all your friends. Rock on.
