Looks like it has happened a couple times: folks are linking Sam Beam, which has a redirect back to Iron & Wine. Since Iron & Wine is a stage name, I don't see any reason for separate articles (which there are currently not). Curious why some folks see a need to do this circular link. -- Dave C. 17:26, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

The reason is that eventually, someone might want to make their own article on Sam Beam. When the article is created, the link will be more useful. There is no harm in putting it there ahead of time. --Malathion 00:47, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Fair enough. Thanks for the explanation. -- Dave C. 00:08, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

sorry i removed the link. didn't check the discussion page first.--Alhutch 07:04, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

"beautifully cinematographic"? is this really a good way to describe something? i don't wish to tread on any toes, but it sounds a bit ponce.

I agree...a little less POV, perhaps? TommyBoy76 21:48, 4 April 2006 (UTC)TommyBoy76

You guys should put some mention about "Lion's Mane" being on Clorox's "The Blue Sky Project" CD that is available on CDBaby and iTunes. http://www.clorox.com/our_story/media_center/index.php?movie_id=audio_2 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.81.118.114 (talk) 20:30, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Broken Link

Reference six seems to be broken. Would fix it myself if I knew where it is supposed to link to. Carnelain 20:39, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sub Pop Singles Club

Why in the world does Sub Pop Singles Club redirect to here? It predates Iron & Wine and has nothing to with him. - Sub Pop 7,000,000 ^{Sub Pop post}

Not completely true - in March of 2002, he was featured on a release from the Sub Pop Singles Club. That said, it shouldn't redirect here and it now redirects to Sub Pop. Josh 04:07, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with the iTunes EP

Why exactly would such a merge be necessary? I'm failing to see a point for consideration. Josh 01:28, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

I've removed the tag for the merge -- if anybody has a problem with that, just revert it, but since there is no precedent for merging information about an individual disc into the article for the artist, it doesn't make sense to consider merging the articles. If anything, the article for the EP should be expanded so it will stand better on its own. Josh 17:51, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Such Great Heights"

I believe The Postal Service covered Beam's "Such Great Heights"... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.126.168.137 (talk • contribs) 00:40, September 19, 2006 (UTC).

The album page for Give Up says the tracks were written by the Postal Service. And I think the lyrics show it: "the freckles in our eyes are mirror images, and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned" sounds too cheery to be Sam Beam material. Elembis 02:57, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh snap. Josh 21:16, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good article

Here's a good article for the editor's of this page to use: http://www.pastemagazine.com/action/article/5121/iron_wine .↔NMajdan•talk 20:11, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article mentioned

During an interview with Iron & Wine on the World Cafe, host David Dye makes a reference to something that he read in this article (his comments regarding Wikipedia aren't entirely favorable). It seems he was referencing the the quote about Beam being taken aback when Bush was re-elected. The Wikipedia source for this is an article in The Independent. The link to that article is dead. Anybody have a better source? -MrFizyx 18:17, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
