I think one of my friends is headed to his studio as we speak.

I should send this to him to make things awkward.

Does Bon Iver like Cling-Film?

These are genius, though they're at their best when they don't lean on the "lol hipster commercialism" crutch.

This is hilarious. Really well done.

Ha, that's funny.

Bon Iver is a band. These are photos of Justin Vernon.

I guess it's confusing to me. It's like if there was a photo of Geddy Lee eating ice cream and the caption read RUSH LOVES MINT CHIP.

Justin Vernon is fourth on my list of hipster singer song writers i would perform outdoor fellatio with. I can share the rest of the list, if you would like.

Just let me know whose is twenty-eighth.

Only if the list is in tumblr form.

I... kinda want to start a Tumblr like that now. Nothing but pictures of David Lee Roth and the blog title will be Van Halen is a Pretty Cool Guy and Eh Doesn't Afraid of Anything.

Bon Iver must have known I would wear his workshirts to bed while he was away. He left me gifts in the breast pocket of each - a tiny shell, a dried flower, a pinecone.

That's just fucking genius.

Whoa. Sexy. Does he really have the Pythagorean Theorem tattooed on the inside of his upper arm like that?

I saw Vernon last Saturday. He's shaved his beard off.

Fantastic. Thanks.

Are these the horny thoughts of Zoey Deschanel's character from New Girl?

Oh Jess - you want me to pretend to be Bon Iver, AGAIN? Okay - then you be Feist.

This morning, after our passionate and tender lovemaking, Bon Iver brought me fresh-brewed coffee in a mug he’d carved out of the branch of a tree that fell in the wind. I sipped it while he hummed and assembled his ice-fishing gear.

This is why the internet exists.

That's one soulful-looking orange knitted cap you've got there.

Bon Iver is a band. These are photos of Justin Vernon.

Sure, that is probably part of the joke here.

But Justin Vernon is Bon Iver, like Sam Beam is Iron & Wine. It's not a full band photo they put beside reviews of Bon Iver music…

Yesterday we adopted a Siberian husky puppy. We committed to feeding him a locavore diet and loving him forever. Bon Iver fitted a sidecar to his cold-war motorcycle so the dog can accompany him to the lake.

We named him Homespun.


Justin, Husky, motorcycle, lake = Sploosh!

[ I'm going to assume he's wearing a flannel shirt to complete this erotic picture. ]

Harvey Kilobit: Damn straight, that's a soulful-looking orange knitted hat. A soulful-looking orange knitted cap that I MADE, thank you very much.

Best damned finished object photo EVER

I pictured Justin Timberlake as Bon Iver in all of these. And then Bon Iver showed up, handed me a piece of sloughed tree bark, telling me wordlessly that it was as thick as his skin - then left to put fallen baby birds back in their nests, after covering me with his least-favourite flannel shirt. I remained on my sofa feeling regretful and drinking my ham water while petting my cat.

I'm just curious if you have a list for indoor fellatio, also.

I love this and it finally explains my Bon Ivar deafness. My musical coming of age and current listening catalog should accommodate Bon Ivar, but I can't get all the way through a single song on any album. I don't think the author of this tumblr could make this and not love Bon Ivar, which is what makes it so good and so funny, but for me it is a kind of meta-analysis of Bon Ivar (band) that captures what my deal is. Namely, that more than I want 40 minutes of cunnilingus that inspires songwriting, I want the band equivalent of the lover who will volunteer to call the pizza order in expressly so I can be pathologically socially avoidant.

i do have an indoor list, but there is a bit of an overlap.

I don't get these "pics of some maybe famous guy and copy about how sexy they are" tumblrs. I don't get it, so get off my lawn.

Bon Iver is just one of those things I do not get and will not try to understand. But I can't help but wonder why he is standing in so many fields of tall grass.
