I'm so glad someone has a thread on them. This album is simply divine. Every song is perfect. I do believe I could play this album on repeat and never grow weary of it.

Damn, they're playing at the Bowery Ballroom on 7/29 but it's sold out

Beautiful i'll have to pick up his album

I saw Bon Iver live in Glasgow a few months ago and they are the best live act Ive ever seen (and i have been to a lot of gigs). Go see them if you get a chance as they will blow your mind.

He's playing in Nashville next month. Unfortunately I'm moving so I won't be close.

Definitely the best album of the year.

I absolutely Bon Iver! My go-to artist when it comes to music, while I write. Always puts me in a dreamy, inspired, melancholy mood.

Have you guys seen the music video for "The Wolves (Act I & II)"...minimalist gorgeousness.

This man is my ultimate de-stresser music. 'Blood Bank', 'Blindsided', 'Skinny Love' and 'For Emma' are faves.

Skinny Love and Blindsided are my faves. love this man's music so much

A good (long) interview with Bon Iver (whose real name is Justin Vernon, though a good bit of people seem to just call him Bon, anyway).





And also a cute picture of him with Jagjaguwar house cat, aw!

Picture from stereogum.com

 

[MeInU]

awwww, he's such a cutie
to see him live is totally on my wish list

Justin Vernon possesses one of the most captivating voices to ever be heard.

I love Justin. His music is so hauntingly beautiful and I hope to go to one of his concerts one day.

I'm not really a Kristen Stewart fan, but I was procrastinating today, surfing around Hulu, and I ended up watching this interview with her on Jimmy Fallon, and guess who they start talking about towards the end? Bon Iver! And Jimmy said that Bon Iver was the name of Justin's dad's cabin that he stayed in while making the album, anyone know if that's true? I was wondering how he got the name Bon Iver.

 

[MeInU]

i read somewhere that Bon Iver means "good winter" in French

Yes, I had heard that, as well, just wasn't sure why he picked "good winter", but if it is the name of his father's cabin, that would make sense, maybe it was a cabin built for a winter, where one could go have a good winter.

 

[MeInU]

yes, i think he just recorded the album in the winter and he liked the winter in Northwestern Wisconsin a lot

Really love this photo, found it on Bon Iver's Last.fm page. I'm usually not much of a tattoo fan, but really love what's inked on the inside of his arm.
