Back in April, Eau Claire Memorial High School’s most awesomely indie alum, Bon Iver ’s Justin Vernon, returned home to lead his former school’s jazz band in what was essentially a Bon Iver tribute concert — jazzified. Stereogum has the whole back story, but perhaps the most awesome part of all this is that has released a recording of the performance (via Jagjaguwar ). Head to Amazon.com...
Bon Iver at Sasquatch ::: photo by Josh Lovseth In a year where we’ve seen hundreds upon hundreds of sets by bands of all calibers and genres, few have made as lasting an impression as Bon Iver’s Sasquatch set. Bundled up today in more layers than I feel comfortable admitting, it seems funny to me that [...]
Back in April, Bon Iver head cheese Justin Vernon performed a concert with the Eau Claire Memorial Jazz Ensemble I , doing jazzy takes of his own songs while helping out on some Duke Ellington stuff. That performance has mostly been the stuff of lo-fi YouTube streams. Until now, as Jagjaguwar is offering the eight-song performance over at Amazon. Support our schools, etc. [via Stereogum ]
If you missed Justin Vernon's trek to his Eau Claire alma mater to lead his high school's jazz band in arrangements of his songs and standards, the night's been memorialized on A Decade With Duke , available at Amazon . (Thanks for the tip, Jesse.)

It's a crime that I don't own this album, but I don't want to buy the CD and haven't seen it on Vinyl. I will pay money for it, if interested parties are reading. Until then, I stream...

Evening all. Today was dreary and a bit miserable really. My first lesson was nice to let off creative steam in the forms of reverb and arpeggiators, and then I drove home for a quick coffee. TO aptly fit the day, I decided to scrap recording 'Tender' by Blur for college and instead record 'Blood Bank' by Bon Iver, a song I have always loved and am looking forward to recreating in all its multi-vocal...
