Bon Iver

I'm late to the party on this one but I really, really adore his album, 'For Emma, Forever Ago'. If you've not yet heard it then you really should check him out. MySpace is as good a place as any to start.

I can't wait to see him at Glastonbury, hopefully he'll announce some headline shows round this parts soon too.

Ditto. Only had the album about 3 weeks but it's on reasonably heavy rotation at the moment. It's fabulous.

I adore Bon Iver and saw the at Academy 2 and they were AMAZING!!

Love him!
Check out Blood Bank and Dark Was The Night (A kickass compilation with Bon Ivor and others)

Oh I have!!!!

Band of the weekend at Glastonbury with their performance headlining The Park on Saturday night. Bruce who?

Saw them at The Serpentine Sessions at Hyde Park last night on the strength of that performance and they were brilliant again.

Probably my favourite band in the world at this moment in time.

Very tempted to go to the Green Man festival in Wales, mostly for his set!

The glasto gig sounded absolutely magical

Did go and see Bruce on the Saturday night but saw Bon Iver the day after on the the other stage and it was fantastic, highlight of the set was probably For Emma but the whole set and album both are very good.

A friend introduced me to Bon Iver's music, absolutely love him, great music for autumn/winter.

So, now that Miley Cyrus has decided she's gonna leave Hannah Montana behind and (supposedly) grow up and stuff, she's trying to cultivate a new, mature image. I guess she figured that name-dropping some indie artists might help, so she recently mentioned in an interview how much she enjoys the music of Bob Iver.

You know...Bob? That sensitive singer-songwriter guy the critics dig so much? Hmmm...maybe little Miley needs to read a music mag or three before mentioning names in interviews.

Here's the story (with video, which is sorta funny):

EDIT: Bonus round! Count the number of times Miley uses the word "like" during the interview! It will BLOW YOUR MIND!

Like, no way. I've got a life and am not prepared to spend 10 minutes of it wasted on a vapid wannabe like Cyrus. I can only imagine how many times she says it. That's enough of my life wasted on her.

She's the fruit of this man's loins, what do you expect?

also: christ on a bike she's got an irritating speaking voice.

Think I'm going to go and listen to some Bob Iver now, see what all the fuss is about.

He's great lee, do it!

Yeah, Bob's OK, but he's not as good as his brother Bon.

BTW, I found an answer to our burning question - according to a different blog I read that carried the same story, the official "like" count was 89 times. In 10 minutes. That's a "like" approximately every 7 seconds. Amazing.

Damn, got distracted by something completely different and forgot! Will have to be tomorrow now. This post serves no purpose except as a reminder.

Up and rising band, I should get For Emma For Ever Ago.

A wee clip to give everybody a taste....

So which one's Bob???

It's the name of his beard

New single "Calgary" is released today for free download its such a beautiful song and hope fully the new album will follow suit.

Beautiful album. You can hear he's been influenced by playing with Ryan Olson.

Thought's on Bon Iver? Not as immediate as For Emma, but reckon it'll grow.

I like it, i think some of the instruments used are unnecessary in places, but i think it's a really good album that i agree will get better with time

I plan on listening to it soon. I've put it off, for some reason.
