Okay… The more I listen to Bon Iver the more I like them… Something about it just strikes me as a very honest form of music.  I dig that.  I like feeling in music (like when Ani Difranco sings The Million You Never Made)

So here is the SxSW (South by Southwest NPR) Bon Iver Concert  [Which I reccomend listening to regularly…lots of good stuff on there…)

Bon Iver doing an accapella version of For Emma

Here they are doing Lump Sum in a sort of low key setting…

And my favourite song in a sort of weird low key party setting…

And for all the frenchies reading this… here are some links…

Part 2

I’m not sure why I like paper art so much.   It looks very delicate, time consuming, and horribly frustrating.   I know I would completely shred whatever I was making after ripping it several times and absolutely losing my patience.   So it is basically anathema to me.   I guess that is why I find it so amazing… it seems unimaginable to me that anyone could do this, and then would continue to do it multiple times.   Amazing.

I think my favourite is Peter Callesen though.

Okay….the fact that this is at real speed is just ridiculous… I’d love to ride with someone like this in an F3000 car (Is that the same as F1?  I have no idea…)   I’d probably have to wear a diaper, but man it would be sweet.

I’m not really sure what the ATTRACTION is, but I love magnets.

Okay…completely random but Dolly Parton is just hilarious.  I love her interviews and how she’s so honest and funny.   It’s a very weird mixture of her being self-deprecating, but also proud that she’s really trying to be the best person she can be.

So anyway… Great voice, great song writing, great sense of humour, great honesty, great charity.   She really just seems like an all around good person.

Anyone that can refer to themselves as looking like “hammered snot” is A.O.K. in my book.

Also for your listening pleasure I really dig this song…
