Since Justin Vernon won two awards on the Grammys last night for Bon Iver's latest album, everyone will probably start to notice the amazingness that is this bearded man. And that is fine with me! I've never really been into those award shows, I think they are a little ridiculous, and generally speaking there arent very many good bands showcased or winning any awards. But I had to watch, for just a little bit last night, and happened to catch him accepting the award for best new artist.
I dont know if anyone say the interview he did back in December for the New York Times, but he was quoted on the Grammys saying, "I don't think the Bon Iver record is the kind of record that would get nominated for a Grammy," he said then. "I kinda felt like going up there and being like: 'Everyone should go home, this is ridiculous. You should not be doing this. We should not be gathering in a big room and looking at each other and pretending that this is important.' That's what I would say."
Pretty good if you ask me, although he didn't really follow through, but either way.
I found this little gem a while back, and wanted to share. I love the raw, street performer gypsy feel of it all. And Lykke Li is amazing.
and another acapella version of 'For Emma, Forever Ago'. Enjoy!
