Bon Iver Remixes The Rosebuds

Download: The Rosebuds - "Get Up and Get Out" (Bon Iver Remix)

We never thought Bon Iver to be the remixing type, but this re-imagining of The Rosebuds' "Get Up and Get Out" obviously proves us wrong. The track is taken from the free remix record that Merge Records gave away on their website. You can listen to Bon Iver's remix at the top of the post, and download the remix album here.

Brooklyn Vegan Showcase at the Bowery Ballroom

Before I headed over to the Bowery Ballroom to catch arguably the best all-around show apart of the CMJ week of craziness, I hung out with Bon Iver in their swanky Holiday Inn hotel room in SoHo. We ate some pasta and watched television, and I caught this great moment here.

I made my way to the Bowery later that night to catch Bon Iver, Shaky Hands, the Rosebuds and Voxtrot. All the bands were as great as I expected, but Bon Iver really stole the show. I was completely floored by how beautiful the music was live. On the record, there is a haunting loneliness that trails every track, but when they were in front of me, that loneliness just turned into to stark honesty and overwhelming passion.

Here is a downloadable summary of the evening with pictures and everything.
