It's great but I appear to be in the minority of people who weren't blown away when he played here.

Back in October, I think I'll be at Okkervil River that night instead.

Oh f**k, it's not the same night as Okkervil River is it?
Shit, will have a spare for either gig then. Who to see?

Phew - false alarm. OR play on November 7th and Bon Iver plays on Oct 7th and, yes, you really should go see Bon Iver. Wonderful gig.

OK so ive heard from so many people that live is where he's really at!! Supposed tobe incredible! Like alot better than the album!


Ill see for myself!

Really am liking this album though!

great album. Missed him in Tripod though.

Oh phew, glad I had that one wrong.

I have very little time for male singer-songwriters and I was a bit dubious about Bon Iver as the hype about him seemed a bit OTT but I checked out his stuff online and bought the album immediately. It's incredible...a real, genuine modern masterpiece. I've listened to it a few times each night for the last 12 nights in a row or something. Last track 're:stacks' is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've heard in years. Missed the live gig though. Will make up for it in October.

I actually recorded 'Re:Stacks' in full on the night - Jesus, looking back on it now.....stunning stuff.

I bought For Emma... a few weeks back and it's a stunning piece of work. I think Skinny Love is my favourite track, though Re: Stacks is beautiful.

Bought it on vinyl and the recording seems a little fuzzy (for want of a more technical term), but I suppose that's probably part of its charm.

Yeah very lo-fi feel to it. Most of the record is from the recordings he did in a cabin and then there's bits and pieces like the horns that were overdubbed in a proper studio.

Here's a daytrottoer session that they did.

checked him out on YouTube. Stacks is very nice alright. I see the seated tickets are gone for the tripod gig anyway. Im sure theres plenty of standing left though

Reminds me of Goodtime John.
