Iron & Wine – House by the Sea

Written on November 11, 2009 by Andy in Music

iron wine shepherds dog Iron & Wine House by the Sea I don’t remember when I finally got myself around to purchasing Iron & Wine’s The Shepherd’s Dog, but I remember being disappointed in myself for having waited so long to do so. Whenever I get around to purchasing Mr. Beam’s most recent release – the b-sides/rarities compilation from earlier this year entitled Around the Well – I’ll probably get a similar feeling of disappointment with myself.

In the meantime, his songs have been popping into my head via our #shuffleproject on Twitter. (If you want to play and/or follow along, you can feel free to follow me and/or Dave via the links in the sidebar.) This one came up recently, and it’s stuck with me for a couple of days. See if it does the same for you.

tym-pan-o-gram (noun)
an examination used to test the condition of the middle ear and mobility of the eardrum, and the conduction bones by creating variations of air pressure in the ear canal.

Basically, it sounded like a cool name for a blog intended to be primarily about music. We’d both had other blogs previously, but over beers it was decided that more damage could be done as a joint venture. And here we are.

We share a passion for the undiscovered and under-appreciated, and hope that you’ll be able to find something you love as well.

About the Author: Dave
I like music. I can't describe how I came to like the music I do, because I don't know how or why, I just do.

Many years ago, Napoleon's brother, my great-great-great-great-great-great Grandfather, came to America. He was asked his name on Ellis Island while being processed as an immigrant. Not understanding English, he was under the impression that he was being asked how he had arrived in the new land. So he turned around and pointed at the sea vessel and said, 'LaBarge.'

I come by my music taste of my own free will. My friends listened to 2Pac, my parents to contemporary Christian and me? Sunny Day Real Estate. I can’t explain it.
