I grab it and drop it in my desk drawer every night. It's funny; my computer has a little umbilical cord that goes right into the drawer.

As long as that son of a bitch locks tightly, then it's all good.

This Jose Gonzales cat sounds pretty good, but my vote went with Mr. Beam because I have a lot of his stuff, and would pay more than $25 to see him at a show.

the first time i heard iron and wine was the morning my dad died.  mom came to tell me "something is wrong" and that she had called the ambulance.  it was very early in the morning, before 5 am, and my brother and i were sharing my room at the time.  after the paramedics left emptyhanded (firefighters, actually, in their big truck on our tiny street, lights flashing clear through the house and turning the trees in the back yard red) i guess we were sort of huddled in my room again until the radio alarm switched on to tell me to go to high school.  it was "cinders and smoke".  now everytime i hear this or many other iron and wine song i go to a place i can't reach in any other way.  once i bought that album i really appreciated the solace i find in his philosophy. 

will you say to me when i'm gone
your face is faded but lingers on
'cause light strikes a deal with each coming night...

oh man, hella tears.

I am sorry for your loss. I'm afraid I am not very good at the comforting words. I am glad to hear that something has helped you.

it's been more than three years now. that's so weird to think about.  so long that remembering things like this and having a good cry are very good things.  or very pure, intense things which must be done.  i have seen iron and wine with calexico (after their collaborative album came out) and it was most excellent though i wished after the very long three sets that it had just been sam beam.

"Cinder and Smoke" is one of my favorite I&W songs. Hella poignant. I'm sorry to hear about your pa.
