Beth / Rest
Bon Iver
bon iver | “beth / rest”
other than “flume” & “skinny love”, i never really fell in love with bon iver’s first album. i recognize that many people became madly obsessed with justin & his work, but i just couldn’t get there. however, with only a few listens to his latest, eponymous album i think i’m beginning to understand. this is that album’s closing track (& probably my favorite).

as if i didn’t like this guy enough already, he went & covered this beautiful track for jealous butcher records’ led zeppelin tribute album ‘from the land of ice and snow: the songs of led zeppelin’.

Led Zeppelin - Bron-Yr-Aur
always yes.
also, now i’m definitely going to post m. ward’s cover of this.
“I didn’t have any friends at school, didn’t want any. I felt better being alone. I sat on a bench and watched the others play and they looked foolish to me.”

Real Estate
Real Estate - Green Aisles
I had too share this wonderful song. My excitement for this album is overwhelming given what I’ve heard live and as the studio cuts are trickled out. I really don’t have much to say about this but every time I listen to Real Estate I get nostalgic and this track also reaffirms why this is one of my favorite bands of all time.
This comes off their coming album Days which is scheduled to be released Oct 18th in the US and Oct 17th to the rest of the world. Also they’re on tour, so be sure to check em out when they come around to your town.
