Seconding My Morning Jacket and M. Ward, adding Grizzly Bear, Jens Lekman and Final Fantasy (the musician, not the video game).

Really? I thought that they had exactly answered the question. The question being bands that AW might like, given the two new bands that he found.

Well, the second post addressed the original question directly. But the third post professed ignorance with the bands mentioned in the first post. At which point the following posts address bands mentioned in that third post. It is possible that I misunderstand Mr Trout's post, but he begins with mention of a band mentioned in the aforementioned third post, which was mentioned in the context of a profession of ignorance of the bands AW mentioned.

But anyway, it appeared to me that the thread almost immediately wanders from the topic "bands that are like these two bands" to "bands that are liked by people who are posting in this thread."

I like Mr. Trout's suggestions by and large. 

AW, if you like Iron & Wine, you should definitely check out Jose Gonzalez.

Other crap I'm listening to lately:  The National, British Sea Power, Okkervil River, the Epochs, TMBG's "The Else." 
(And of course TMBG's "Here Come the 123s.")

Sorry if it wasn't clear, I did actually pick the tracks I linked based on Mr. West saying he liked Iron and Wine. All the bands I posted are either newer folky or alt-country stuff. For some reason though the full mp3s did upload, but the links only play the first second or two of the song. Right-clicking and downloading the mp3 seems to work though.

Thanks for that Jose Gonzalez link - that is some good stuff right there.

You know, though, I think that finding two new bands that you like is a pretty good score for, like, a year. So don't feel bad, Aug.

Excellent point!

There's so much old music I never listened to that by the 2020's I figure I'll get around to Sufjan Stevens.

I'm currently collecting music at the local library, 10 discs a week burned to my i-Tunes. Bela Fleck playing Bach? Check. (and pretty cool, too...) Gorillaz? Got 'em today.

For those of you interested in wasting hours and hours, check out BandtoBand.com. It will blow your mind.

Iron and Wine did an album with Calexico that is fuck*ng awesome.  Calexico are awesome as well when they are not playing with Iron and Wine.

Passion Pit's "Sleepyhead" manages to be slightly stupid, and completely dope at the same time.

That's pretty neat.

AW, you might like The Tallest Man on Earth.

The above site, Hype Machine, is a good place for checking this bands out. It aggregates songs from MP3 blogs. I think I may have mentioned this before.
