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.

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 Very Happy

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. scratch

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. study

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! Shocked

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.

Very Happy

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

Subject: Re: Bon Iver Thu 14 Jan 2010, 09:30

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.

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

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. Rolling Eyes
