IRISH BON IVER. THERE. I SAID IT. As if it hasn’t already been said enough already. Just to prove my point, here are some blogs that have uncreatively referred to James Vincent McMorrow in such a manner:
Yours Truly, Swear I’m Not Paul, Hear Ya, Quit Mumbling, Rcrd Lbl, Decently Dope. People have told me that blogging is all about collaborations (especially music blogging) and that by being antagonistic to other blogs I’m burning bridges that I may want to figuratively cross later on. To those people I say this: Bridges are stupid and I don’t need them. I can cross bodies of water using the sheer breadth of my stride. Does that sound like the type of dude who needs the help of other blogs? I DIDN’T THINK SO. And even if I couldn’t, is it so implausible that I might rent a boat? Even if the Sydney Harbour Bridge collapsed in on itself from the sheer arrogance of the Oprah ‘O’ that disgraced it late last year there’d be no strife. I’d wander my way through the tunnel we ploughed beneath the harbour.

What I’m trying to say by all this is that he writes nice songs. He’ll be all over your radar by the end of 2011. He’s been written about time after time these past six months and he’s the sort of prodigious talent that can’t help but get massive and you know how I feel about singer-songwriter types.
