MR. JUSTIN VERNON

Justin Vernon sure does have his miracle hands (or brain) touching a little bit of everything these days. well really its been all days since around the year 2000 but who's counting. I'm still really enjoying what he is doing lately though. Not only does he have a unique gift for creating eclectic music with a real spirit and romance for chill vibes, but he has the heartbreak to prove it (if i recall correctly, the whole album Emma, Forever Ago was created and recorded after vernon suffered a major break-up, moved back to northern WI and lived in a cabin for three months to recover. and the result? BEST ALBUM EVER). You can hear his emotion in that whole album. the song posted below is a great depiction of what those months in N. Wisco were like. Vernon has also been able to collaborate with the right people/groups that make his talent shine even more. Bon Iver. DeYarmond Edison. Land of Talk. Volcano Choir. and more recently. GAYNGS. St. Vincent. Anais Mitchell. Kanye West.

Don't worry, I am only borderline in love. And... just to repeat this. he is from Wisconsin... so by default he is amazing and better than everyone else. haha. don't hate, I have plenty of Minnesnowta and midwest love to go around.

This is one of my favorite videos and songs by bon iver. the video takes place in WI.

love this one by volcano choir.

lastly, a great song by DeYarmond Edison.

BOOM.
