Just a quick line to promote someone else’s good work here; San Francisco based blog, Stranger Dance have put together a collection of covers by Bon Iver, a really scruffy-soulful independent artist who I’ve seen live and loved. Do yourself a favour and check him out… You could even show the love and buy some of his music on iTunes.

Also, he’s not afraid to rock a big, trucker style beard – a man after my own heart.
