The Wolves (Act I and II)
Posted: Mar 05, 2008
I’m absolutely in love with Bon Iver right now (a fact my Last.fm stats will attest to), so I’ve been digging the video for my favorite cut from the album, The Wolves (Act I and II).
Beautiful description of how the video came to be, too.
They built a bonfire and just let it burn all day and into the night, and Matt filmed. The weight of the circumstances propelled the collaboration to a place these sort of projects don’t often go. The cathartic spirit of Bon Iver’s music had found its kindred spirit in imagery.
Living alone in a cabin for a few months sounds like a mighty fine time to me right now.
Update: video fixed!
Just 'cause

I can’t imagine how long this took to learn.
Awesomely entertaining stuff.

The new Saul Williams album The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust is out November 1st, and Saul’s decided to go the In Rainbows route.
Trent Reznor-produced, Alan Moulder-engineered and available direct from the artist without money going to the record companies? Yes please. Consider me pre-ordered.
In Rainbows
Posted: Oct 01, 2007
Radiohead release their long-awaited 7th album titled ‘In Rainbows’ on October 10th, and interestingly, they’ve chosen to release it without a fixed price as a download through inrainbows.com.
The price I chose? 10 quid, plus the obligatory 45 pence fee.
Well worth every penny, even if the checkout process did fall over from all the traffic the first four times I tried to buy it.
