Artist: Justin Vernon

Bon Iver 's Grammy speech will be analyzed as one of the most pretentious displays of indie elitism as portrayed to the mainstream masses in the history of the music industry. Bon Iver won a mainstream award, and decided to 'stay alt', prancing up on stage in his FASHION DISASTER outfit , offering contradictory points that celebrated his own authenticity, the authenticity of artists who would never get mnstrm praise, and the mnstrm artists who are 'actually' talented. Understandably, Bon Iver hunky frontman Justin Vernon was nervous... but u have to wonder if he should [...]

For those of you living in a cave, Bon Iver destroyed it at the Grammys. In fact, his performance was so noteworthy that it spawned countless news stories and a website by the title Who Is Bon Iver? I should use the word "performance" sparingly though, as Bon Iver turned down the opportunity to perform live. Just as well - given that he'd get to spend 2 minutes on stage accepting an award for Best New Artist. I was so excited when Bon Iver won, that I ran to find my old iPod [...]

Bon Iver : I won! Bon Iver : No bro. We won. Bon Iver : Who the hell are u guys? Bon Iver : We're Bon Iver . Bon Iver : I thought I was Bon Iver . Bon Iver : Dude, cmon bro. We're in this, too. Bon Iver : I srsly [...]

Bonny Bear! U look good, bb! I would LOVE to spend time with u at ur cabin one weekend while u play me songs on ur guitar. That would honestly be the most beautiful ever, but I HATE cabins because they don't have TVs or the internet then I feel like a lost crazy woman. :-( Don't eat ur Grammy, bb! It's not made of chocolate! I love LOVE LOVE chocolate bunnies, not just because I LOVE bunnies, but because they are fake, and made of chocolate, and u don't have to feel bad about a [...]

You have the right to remain poorly dressed, but anything u wear CAN and WILL be held against u, Bonny BB! Anything you wear or accessorize can and will be held against you in a court of fashion law. You have the right to speak to a stylist. If you cannot afford a non-Midwestern stylist, one will be appointed for you and will be televised on a TLC makeover show. Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you? Say it isn't so, Justin Vernon, bb! U showed up to the Grammys in an organic [...]

Well played, Justin Vernon. In the past, Bon Iver 's Justin Vernon has expressed his distaste for the Grammys. In an old interview with the New York Times , he was asked what he'd say. This was his response: 'Everyone should go home, this is ridiculous. You should not be doing this. We should not be gathering in a big room and looking at each other and pretending that this is important.' That's what I would say." At the time of the [...]

Filed under: News , Exclusive , Awards Kevork Djansezian, Getty Images Last year, the Grammys shocked the public by choosing Esperanza Spalding , a musician who wasn't very well known, as Best New Artist. While the 2012 winner, Bon Iver , has a much bigger audience, their win was hardly a shoo-in by any means, given the popularity of fellow nominees Nicki Minaj , Skrillex , J. Cole and [...]

Social media possesses a real knack for spotlighting just how preoccupied the more mainstream fans are, illustrated by the countless Justin Bieber/One Direction/Jonas Brothers trends which appear on Twitter, but it's their latest response to a particular grammy winner that really highlights just how worryingly absorbing these obsessions are... And so brings an end to the 54th Grammy Awards, and Justin Vernon, otherwise known as Bon Iver, has won a set of grammies for best new artist and best alternative album. Congratulations to him. However the real news arrives in the form [...]

The 2012 Grammy Awards made us experience a rainbow of emotions during its three-and-a-half-hour telecast. Adele made us giggle with her adorable acceptance speeches , while Katy Perry's unflattering hair color just made us angry. We wept over Jennifer Hudson's moving tribute to Whitney Houston, and cried even more when Nicki Minaj began flying over the stage like a scene out of The Craft . But oh, there were so many more memorable moments from music's biggest night. Check out the Top 5 Best and Worst of the bunch from the 54th Annual Grammy [...]

Filed under: News , Awards Kristy Sparow, Getty Images Those " musical history gods " that Justin Vernon so infamously dissed were clearly smiling down on Bon Iver at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards as his group walked away with the Best Alternative Music Album for their self-titled record. Though Vernon declined to perform at Sunday's ceremony and was oh-so-publicly dismissive of the golden gramophone leading up to the [...]

Sorprendente. Sólo así se me ocurre calificar la actuación que protagonizaron anoche The Roots y Justin Vernon en uno de los late nights más de moda en Estados Unidos: El Show de Jimmy Fallon. Juntos alargaron "Perth", el tema que abre el último disco de Bon Iver , y llevaron una canción que dura poco más de 4 minutos hasta superar los 8, casi el doble. Con un toque muy a lo R&B, la canción va creciendo desde una apertura tranquila hasta convertirse en un festival de instrumentos que [...]

Absolutely stunning rendition of "Perth"

https://twitter.com/#!/blobtow er/status/167307020444246016 We fight against the Corrupt Indie Machine 4 u. This week, a battle was launched against Carles by Justin Vernon . He stood against Independent Indie Media. He stood against The Indie Truth. He stood against indie free speech and the Progressive Alt Blogosphere. Many speculated that he was a part of the Corrupt Indie Machine . Perhaps he has seen the light, taking to #Twitter to issue a formal apology 2 Carles . He said, "sorry CRLS." [...]

Even in an age in which Spotify is (albeit justifiably) chastised for paying out pittances and peanuts to starry-eyed, if holey-jeaned artists it seems all but entirely illogical that a record of such startling beauty as Anywhere But Where I Am may be proffered by its conjurers free of charge. Said conjurers are Flights , or Eric Hillman and Brian Holl. Although the duo are now shacked up in Nashville, they hail initially from Wisconsin which, to the ignorant Brit at least sends surging thoughts recurring to Justin Vernon. Here [...]

When Bon Iver 's Justin Vernon was in NYC, The Roots invited him to stop by Fallon's spot for a little jamming. Being the gentleman that he is, he accepted, and what went down next was what you're about to witness. Together, The Roots and Mr. Vernon went in on an 8-minute version of "Perth" for this web exclusive. ( Late Night With Jimmy Fallon )

Justin Vernon stopped by the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon set to perform ?uestlove's "fav Bon Iver jawn" for the show's studio audience. As expected, The Roots deliver a very, very, smooth rendition of the opening song from Bon Iver, Bon Iver, working in some mesmerizing jams in the almost 4 minutes added on to the original track. I think they should take it to the studio and record an official version of this, anyone else? via
