“Well I met you at the blood bank
We were looking at the bags
Wondering if any of the colors
Matched any of the names we knew on the tags.”

This new Bon Iver song “Blood Bank” has been around for a few weeks, but I’ve somehow neglected to mention it here. It is gorgeous – as are most things that Justin Vernon touches. And this whole past week it’s been running in a loop around my brain, maybe spurred by the fact that my dad is in the hospital, or maybe because it just matches my mood exactly. At any rate, be sure to take a listen.
You can stream the entirety of their new EP on their myspace page, and be sure to pick up a copy when it’s released on the 20th.
