I was IM'ing with a friend a few weeks back and lamenting the absence of excellent new music. She turned me on to a band called 'Iron & Wine', which I have now spent several weeks listening to. I can report that this is someone worth paying attention to, in particular their album 'The Creek Drank the Cradle'. It's great music for a cold and cloudy winter day.
As a side note, when I googled 'Iron & WIne' I was rewarded with Google knowing that this was music, and offering me a music specific results page as an option. How far have we come from the days when Alta Vista was considered brilliant because the results weren't just awful? How important will metadata / structured data on the web become for searching, internet shopping, and more? How about this- _very_, on both counts.
