Unmistakable. That’s Earl Scruggs. The five-string banjo could not have had a better genius.

Earl Scruggs Revue - Country Comfort

He wasn’t afraid to try new things as times changed. Listen to pop singers of the time - Frank Sinatra doing Both Sides Now, Bing Crosby singing Hey Jude - it sounds silly. Earl brought authenticity to the music without making it hokey.

Bon Iver, “Holocene,” live on “Saturday Night Live,” February 4, 2012.

This song has been on repeat for few days now.

We stood
Steady as the stars in the woods
So happy-hearted
And the warmth rang true inside these bones
As the old pine fell we sang
Just to bless the morning.

The Civil Wars covering Elliot Smith…

Curled up in my big armchair with a hot cup of tea, a fire in the fireplace, and this song made my morning just a little more perfect.

This might be the most beautiful thing my ears have heard in a while. October 20th could not get here fast enough.

Good times for a change 
See, the luck I’ve had 
Can make a good man 
Turn bad 

So please please please 
Let me, let me, let me 
Let me get what I want 
This time 

Haven’t had a dream in a long time
See, the life I’ve had 
Can make a good man bad 

So for once in my life 
Let me get what I want 
Lord knows, it would be the first time 
Lord knows, it would be the first time 

I am somewhat sure that Morrissey wrote this song about commuting/finding an apartment

Blood Bank - Bon Iver (by iTuneFM)

This song reminds me so much of being in Switzerland.  I really enjoy her cover of it, and I have a feeling most of my male followers will want to wife her, so you are welcome.

On dueling grand pianos, Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon and drummer Sean Carey work through stripped-down versions of ”Hinnom, TX,” “Wash.,” and “Beth/Rest” from Bon Iver, “Babys” from the Blood Bank EP, and the single “I Can’t Make You Love Me.”
