bon iver – the wolves(act I & II)

i saw him play at the infamous spiegeltent during sydney festival this year, and he was incredible. as this song builds and builds towards the end he had the whole crowd singing along with him, getting louder and louder, until finally exploding into this cathartic yell. it was amazing.

andrew bird – anonanimal

i’ve seen andrew bird live 4 times now, i think. possibly even 5. his bare feet and his endless head bobbing and his insane looping and the whistling! oh, the whistling. andrew bird is easily in my all-time top 5. highly recommended.

the decemberists – we both go down together

well, this is just colin meloy, lead singer of the decemberists. in an elevator. i’m not sure why. i’m amazed that his vocal delivery is absolutely identical to how it is on the record. i highly recommend their new album, the hazards of love.
