Monday: Bon Iver on Jimmy Fallon
More big news for Justin Vernon/Bon Iver this week, as if that means anything anymore. But if you’re keeping score, tonight (Mon. May 23), Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (NBC) will host Bon Iver for the network television debut of their new music. In the Chippewa Valley area, that means the show starts at 11:30-ish pm (the musical guests are usually last, of course).
Last week, everyone was excited about the free download from the new Bon Iver, Bon Iver album – “Calgary” (check it out) – but then on Saturday (May 21) the iTunes Music Store somehow accidentally posted the whole dang album up for sale for a short time, allowing fans to buy and download the whole thing a month before its official release date (June 21) – including a little music zine called Rolling Stone, which posted a track-by-track breakdown.
So the train keeps on a-chuggin’ (or a-bulletin’) for Mr. Vernon. He’ll even be on the cover of the May 28 Billboard Magazine (the last issue had Beyoncé on it). Oh, and Rick Ross called Justin a "f*cking genius."
Locally, you can pre-order Bon Iver, Bon Iver
from The Local Store in either CD or vinyl
and get 10% off. Enjoy!
