bon iver - for emma, forever ago - a take away show



i've decided to start a music wednesday, which will feature a favorite band or song that i currently can't stop playing. hope you enjoy!

today's artist: Bon Iver, song: For Emma.

my roommate beth turned me on to take away shows, it's where artists spontaneously are recorded playing in apartments, alleys, sidewalks, any informal setting in front of small crowds. when Bon Iver was asked to do a take away show, "they immediately responded that this is kinda what he dreams of: that his album is meant to be played in front of small crowds, and that he was looking forward to it..." how magical would it be to walk in on this?
