the last exit

if you listen to Bon Iver’s most recent album sped up about 30% it’s really good

“Perth” has some double-kickdrum action that is totally metal

Best New Artist…and the Grammy goes to BON IVER…I just can’t.  This is amazing.

I really like the way the word “New” is being applied here. 

I guess it’s safe to drink that milk that’s been sitting in my fridge since 2008?

Das Racist on the top songs of the year.

in light of all the tastefully-selected Grammy nominations,

I think it’s important for us to revisit Ned Hepburn’s account of his time living with Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon. 

Ladies and Gentlemen, “My Roommate, Bon Iver“ 

… I nodded again, and closed my eyes just long enough to think the entire thought, that, as cool as it was; when Justin Vernon of Bon Iver corners you at a party kinda drunk and wants to talk about feelings, there’s no way out. You just have to sit and listen.
