Bon Iver will always give me the shivers. The opening bit of Holocene, oh my god *_* I have grown to love Bon Iver, Bon Iver very much. I really love Michicant and Perth :') I kind of hate how he's become popular for Skinny Love now. I don't know, I can be irrationally territorial about the stuff I listen to. Before, Bon Iver's music just felt a little more.... personal.. to me. Secret. Special. It was my ethereal 3am music. My quiet Sunday morning music. It always felt like Justin was whispering to me and it was always so heart-wrenching because there is so much emotion in his voice. I used to be so sure that Bon Iver would be one of the best-kept secrets of alternative music, but.. they've got four nominations in the upcoming Grammy's, don't they?
I just watched Vincent Moon of LaBlogotheque's Pitchfork Music Festival video and this man is such an artist. I love his Take Away Shows. I remember first being introduced to his work when I started getting into Lykke Li in '08. I didn't pay too much attention. Then I couldn't stop watching The Kooks' Take Away Show in Paris. Then I fell into obsession with The Morning Benders' Virgins performance, and that is probably the start of my love affair with Mr. Moon's amazing work. It was so beautifully filmed. I love the feel and atmosphere in all his videos, the intimacy with the musicians as well as the immediate audience watching the performance.. I love how his camera moves and I love the colours and the setting of the performances.
*Wrote that last night. Today, I shall write a bit more about Vincent Moon: He's gonna be at the UpToTheSky festival tomorrow, right? Soufi is working there!!! And today she got to talk to him!!! And since she's working there she gets free entry for the festival!!! Haha hi Soufi I am fucking jealous of you. I wanna go for the festival but then I've got work at night and no $50 to spare for tickets. Maybe they'll need another volunteer somewhere? Damn. I've been wanting to go for this thing :-(
