Bon Iver

I'd love to get this album, For Emma, Forever Ago by Bon Iver.

After a breakup, this guy went and stayed in a cabin in the woods by himself for three months, and made this album. I've been listening to lots of it on YouTube.

This one is a beauty.

thanks Ben! i'm really enjoying this guy, glad you put me on to him. Might have to pick up the album now.

Have you heard 'Midlake'? Their album 'the trials of van occupanther' is brilliant, and i think you might like it.

cool, I'm glad you liked it. There are some great clips on youtube of him and two guys just wandering around, singing in different buildings in france. I'm very keen to buy the album. Heard he's coming to oz too..

Yeah, I've heard a song or two by Midlake-- I'll have to look into them, thanks. Lookin forward to hearing about your trip some time bro.

It is good. Thanks for sharing. Funny to find him on a blog from Australia. Eau Claire is about 90 miles from here. (Minneapolis)
