Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) on the Colbert Report

I missed this when it aired. Bon Iver on Colbert! This is the same song I posted last week, the first single off Bon Iver's new album, but here he's performing it live. (I think it's live, despite all the effects; it's not the same as the album version.)

But who cares? It's Justin Vernon, a man I can legally wed in New York 30 days from now. I'd watch him recite the alphabet -- and I'll bet he'd do it creatively. None of this set letter-order stuff or nuthin'. Anyway, check this out.

David Gray: Babylon

David Gray is talented singer, musician and songwriter. That much you knew. But he's also a great performer. I'm sure everyone remembers Babylon. This is a live performance of the song. I wanted to show him in action because his personality really comes through. When I heard him speak on a TV show, I was struck by his honesty and directness. This guy has a fresh take on everything. (The drummer who does the vocals with him is great too, and totally weird.) One last thing before I close the subject. David Gray is cute.
