I was just in major need of a break from my paperwork that I'm so behind on, and was looking at pictures and video from Austin City Limits Festival in 2007. I got to see one of my favorite bands, Iron & Wine, and got some great pictures and video from the show. My man Sam was sporting his usual caveman beard and sounded unbelievable. Enjoy a picture I took as well as the full video of the song Naked As We Came. I was really moved by the accordion, which isn't used on the CD version, so it was totally unexpected and really gorgeous.
At about 26 seconds into the video, there is some screeching feedback - it only lasts a second, don't turn it off! Enjoy :)

I love that first chorus where you can hear the whole crowd singing "eyes wide open..." Nice sound quality, too!
I'm thankful to whoever realized that accordions are awesome and not just for oom-pah music. Many bands (like Counting Crows, Sufjan) seem to have figured this out.
Soon they'll be adding the melancholy wail of the bagpipes -- a sure sign of the coming apocalypse!
