Megafaun with Bon Iver, Steel Guitar, Fog

So I guess Megafaun showed up...

"Come on ease your mind / oh come on ease your worried mind."

Now I can.

Best Argument for Wish You Were Here

The award for best article saying "Wish You Were Here" without actually saying it goes to Pop & Hiss (click for the article), for the aching jealousy I got reading about Bon Iver's sunrise set at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Sunday. Here's to me hoping someone posts the youtube video of "Re: Stacks" in the peach haze of the LA morning...

Randall Roberts at the LA Weekly said this:

"Bon Iver walked out into the darkness after a collection of Buddhist monks chanted a blessing, and the music began. "Sold my cold knot/A heavy stone,"* sang Vernon," and the thousands whispered silently along with words they'd long ago memorized. The sky seemed way too close. The palm trees looked Vaselined. Bon Iver appeared to be a dream."

Damn. Wish I was there.

Snare Drum Kicks the Door Open to Your Mind

A few years ago, Bruce Springsteen described Bob Dylan's snare drum smash opening to Highway 61 Revisited as "kicking the door open to your mind." Now, I'm not comparing the two here, but I sure thought of the quote when I saw this beautiful video from Bon Iver in front of a swooning Glastonbury audience. Thanks to Muzzle of Bees for posting this killer video.
