I too just found out about Bon Iver at the grammys then checked out their music how did it made them the Best New Artist and suprisingly I liked so much like it's so tiring listening to electro-pop now being so rampant and over-used. It's like their music is a different approach to what real music should sound. Greta Job pointing out!
Nice video! I was surprised as hell when Bon Iver won, but I was also very happy! Just because I know how long he's been making music. He's had other bands like, Mount Vernon, De Yardmond Edison, and some solo stuff too. Justin Vernon has worked very hard to be at the level of where he is at today and deserves it! I grew up close to where he is from and have never met him but I have friends who have met him and say he is one of the coolest people they've ever met! I'm glad he won!
I found out about Bon Iver because of the grammys, which is strange 'cause I never watch the grammys and I didn't even watch it, I just heard a lot of stupid girls in my class bitching about how Nicki Minaj didn't win, and so I was curious to see who won and I saw Bon Iver and so I checked him out, I don't even know why I did but I did, and I liked him a lot and I liked your video and I think you're cute, and I like you and I subscribed. :)
Dude, For Emma, Forever ago was released in 2007. If you think you're smart and entertaining enough to give your opinion away in the medias, at least make a proper research.
@volcom8756 It was self-released in 2007 but properly released on Jagjaguwar in 2008. I fact-checked before I made this video, trust me. That's how I managed to know anything about Sonny Moore's last band.
I love you for this video. I'm so damn tired of people saying "who the hell is bon iver?" when it's NEW ARTIST OF THE YEAR (although bon iver isn't exactly new). As an avid fan of bon iver, i'd rather them not get famous so fuckheads like them won't complain.
I guess my friends and I have been pronouncing Bon Iver wrong the entire time we've known of them. We've been pronouncing it Bon Eye-ver instead of Bon Ee-ver...
This, basically. I'm Canadian so Arcade Fire winning was a huge effing deal for us over here. All the backlash they received hurt but whatever. DEAL WITH IT.
@StupidChris19 I like the first one a lot more, but that's just like my opinion man.
Even if I'm not the biggest fan of the new one, I still support any time the Grammys acknowledge independent artists in more prominent categories than 'best alternative album.'
hahaaa your channel is golden. win butler didn't really give half a shit when they won, and i'm pretty sure justin vernon has made it clear he doesn't give half a shit either. all the more satisfying when everyone is up in arms. /rant

i fully expect you to make a video like this every year a less-than-wildly-popular artist wins a grammy.

@slash1994 There are like 93 musicians in Bon Iver, bro.

@slash1994 Justin Vernon is one guy. Bon Iver is a group, a project Justin started. It's easy to confuse the two.
