Bon Iver Explains Why The Grammys are No-Go This Year

no mention of enforced duet with Justin Bieber, but still...

Rolling Stone reports: "Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon says his band turned down an offer to play the upcoming Grammy Awards telecast because they were not comfortable with the required collaborative appearance. "We kind of said 'fuck you' a little bit," the singer told Billboard"

Latest CD Review

  • Hero & Leander "Tumble" Tapete, 2013

    Attempting to be profound is a losing strategy, H&L just want to have a good time and entertain their audience whilst doing so; and it’s a manageable aim, a target they hit. This is their first full length and there’s a riot of influences that are jostling for attention and being worked through, it’s a kaleidoscopic good time. No party is complete without obligatory 1980’s references and there are many here, often oblique, the opening bars of ‘Soul to Soul’ (another reference?) have a bass sound that dominated, not quite Gino Palladino but not far off, add in a saxophone and you’re halfway to your school reunion.
