New Music Time! He goes by the name Bon Iver, and he's a folksy sort of guy... The album is streamable from Virb (he's being featured pretty heavily on there). The name is also clever -- it's "Good Writer" in French, except it's intentionally spelled incorrectly.

I like him! I saw him when he was in NY last month.
I think you mean "good winter" instead of good writer. Winter= hiver.

Whoever wrote his bio is not a "good writer": Vernon sings the majority of the record in falsetto, which painfully expresses the meanings... The falsetto is painful?

I love "Skinny Love" like a child. Going to go see him here in town next Thursday.

HIs music might be awesome, but his name just reminds me of that bone-density medication Sally Fields fronts for.
