So I get one more "official" Best of 2016 video. A lot of my favorites have already been hit (other than people like Frank who have no live videos of new stuff yet), but if you know me, you probably know what we haven't played yet that's going to be at the top of my list.

Also, check this one out, which I probably like even more (I just didn't want to put three "6"s in a post title)

Finally, in an effort to do some blatant star-farming since I'm sure those two videos are going to go over reaaaaal well, here's my favorite song from an artist free (and my bro hj) featured earlier.
My nine stars was determined thusly:
Bon Iver - 1/2 star each
Car Seat Headrest 8 stars
Yeah, "666 ʇ" is great. Between it and "8 (circle)", it's like he learned all the wrong lessons from "Beth/Rest", and it turned out awesome, anyway.
Maybe I need to listen to the song, but is that supposed to be a visual pun on 1999, a reference to the San, or something else.
And interestingly (or not), I'm all over those Bon Iver tracks; CSH not so much.
That's what I love about music. It speaks to different people differently.
totally agree
E-6 & I noted this a while back inre: raw live vs. polished studio. Hey, it keeps more musicians in business.
Good Pull(s).
okay, so, here's my feelings:
this is my first bon iver album. i listened to it because i'd heard this is his "weird one". fair enough. that's totally up my alley, i checked it out, and yeah, it's weirdish, which is good. and i like it well enough, however, my immediate comparison is Age Of Adz. and if i'm comparing the two, sufjan did it waaaaay better. could be my own bias, and though i really want to like this album (and to be sure, i do (should i check out his last one?)), i think due to the hype, i was kinda underwhelmed.
sorry, AoA is currently one of my favorite albums of all time (yeah, it's totally weird and indulgent), so i'm crazy biased.
