New Iron & Wine, Beachwood Sparks On The Way

We knew that in 2009, Sub Pop was giving us a Vetiver record, and a new Handsome Furs record, and a few other cool releases -- but now you can add to that list: because there's also an upcoming Iron & Wine rarities comp, a deluxe reissue of the The Way of the Vaselines, and a NEW Beachwood Sparks, to name just a few... (and speaking of Beachwood Sparks, you can actually still visit their old website, preserved on the interwebs like a mosquito in 9-year old amber. If you think you've got the bandwidth and processing power, try viewing the Flash version!)
