Skinny Love
Thanks to Nick for reminding me of Bon Iver's existence and launching Skinny Love into endless repeat on iTunes after several months' languishing on my hard drive. Damn that's a good song.
Speaking of self-consciously quirky under-40 white guys who play guitar, I also really dig Tom Brosseau's new album. Check out Committed to Memory on his myspace. I caught him in Portland a few weeks back and he cast a spell.
