I have been blasting “Woods” in my car ever since Bon Iver put out Blood Bank, which is why I was very curious when I heard that Kanye rapped over it for his song “Lost in the World”. I know I like the first 3 minutes but then it just kind of gets crazy. Bon Iver also worked with Kanye on his song “Monster”, along with Jay-Z, Nicki Manaj and Rick Ross (I wish I could have seen that!).

Bon Iver… It sounds good to me!
an outtake from La Blogotheque’s session with Bon Iver.
The guys perform “For Emma” a cappella and it sounds amazing. Wait until the 2 minute mark for the full effect of the setting
Click above to listen to Alec Ounsworth (yes, of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah) all on his own and sounding amazing on this track from August, “Holy, Holy, Holy Moses (Song For New Orleans).” He’s toned it down a lot, in a really beautiful way… reminds me of some sort of Bob Dylan-Bon Iver collaboration. Maybe that sounds too good to be true but I think, if ya haven’t, you should take a look at this guy.
Through hard work and perseverance (plus a well timed 6 months abroad), I’ve managed to avoid the blood-sucking cultural obsession that is Twilight…
HOWEVER… Earlier this fall, the producers of this movie coerced some of the most buzzed-about indie bands to record brand new tracks for the “New Moon” soundtrack…
I still refuse to read these books, but I can’t deny that brand new tracks from Thom York, Lykke Li, Grizzly Bear (with Beach House), and Bon Iver (with St. Vincent) are ever a bad thing…
