i sure do listen to him. i've had the album for about a month. love it.
skinny love... amazing.

i did learn that it's bon eeever... not bon iiiiiver.

have you heard the story about how that record got made?

the thing with the thing in the cabin in the winter or something?

while he was becoming a buzz earlier this year, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune did a great article on him.
He's from Eau Claire, WI, about 90 miles east of the Twin Cities. The Current, a Minnesota Public radio station, has had him in regular rotation
since January and when he's played here in the Twin Cities, his shows are sold out early.
Here's a link to the article, its very good.
STAR TRIBUNE ARTICLE JANUARY 2008

Plus around the same time period, just before his record release he did an in-studio on The Current, which included interview and 3 songs, and they also have 2 videos of songs from the in-studio up on the same page.
LIVE ON THE CURRENT 1-17-08

I saw him play at an in-store at the Electric Fetus (a independent coaltion record store) in Mpls this spring at the time of his record release.
It was so packed, but was very good. Check him out if you can.
