SubPop Podcast – Live Iron & Wine Videos
Today’s SubPop Podcast features four live videos of Sam Beam performing solo to a rapt audience. Although the recordings appear to pre-date The Shepherd’s Dog, Iron & Wine’s most recent release, fans who attended Beam’s recent tour with The Swell Season will be reminded of its sparse goodness.

Pit Er Pat Start Tour FRI in CHI
Chicago’s super-awesome Pit Er Pat are hitting the road this fall in support of High Time, their new album due out on 10/21. This effort finds the band traveling down a dusty and dark path with guitars, sequencers, drum machines, and a slew of foreign percussions.
We think the album is awesome. Our vinyl is on order. Yours should be too.
Tourdates and MP3 after the jump. Check ’em out.
The Sound of The Smiths, Hits & Rarities 2CD, Out 11/11
Just in time for Black Friday, the good people at Rhino will release a 45-track Smiths compilation that “collects it all: Hits, B-Sides, Live Cuts & Rarities”. The Sound of the Smiths will be available as either a single-disc or two-disc collection on Nov. 11.
The single disc version won’t include anything on Disc 2, which looks to be the disc over which existing fans will drool.
As with past Rhino releases, a selection of the compilation’s can be streamed here.
In other exciting news for Smiths fans, a digital re-release of their entire catalog will follow this compilation.
