A buddy of mine told me about Bon Iver pretty early on, it was right after this album came out and he didn't have a real big following yet. He was opening for some band called Black Mountain that I had never heard of. Buddy couldn't end up coming out to the show so I just decided I'd go solo that night. He played like six songs (including this one) at the Rock And Roll Hotel in DC, it's a small spot with not much room. Was probably one of the best shows I have ever seen and he's probably the only guy I can say I saw in a small room before he got huge. Never did see him again after that because I still feel like I'd be let down trying to compare the experiences. Left before the third song from Black Mountain was over, just not my thing.
Probably my favorite song this year, and feels like it needs to be posted in a Detroit sports forum since he's a native son of Detroit (and hugely underappreciated)
