There has been a lot said, both positive and negative, about the influence of PitchforkMedia.com on music. Pitchfork proponents hail it as a one-stop-shop for trustworthy opinions on music that don't pander to the masses. A brain-trust of witty, insightful writers combine to make a whole lot of music available to the masses. A favorable [...]
Here it is. Look out for the whole EP January 29th. For more info check out the myspace .... Anyone else hear the EP and think it's a little funny that Bon Iver uses the autotune on "Woods"? Funny time for Bon Iver to start dabbling with the infamous vocoder. Bon Iver - Bloodbank PigeonsandPlanes

Before I listened to this I thought "What the fuck could a DJ do with Bon Iver?" One of the beautiful things about Bon Iver's music to me is the strong, organic human factor. A DJ mix would definitely take away from the sound. Well, just like the time I squeezed a glass with my hand to prove that it wouldn't break, I was painfully wrong. It works. Glad I checked this out. Thanks to The World In...

It's wonderful. The edit is understated, with Friedman ad...
It has been a chaotic few days around these parts. I have moved my sister into her 6th floor NY walk up, moved myself into my new 5th floor Philly walk up, hit two major deadlines at work, had a pretty unexpected element of a project I'm working on fall apart at the v. last minute and finally I have been knocked into a wonderful new world of bloggerness with all the #replyallshenanigans.
