Bon Iver, DeYarmond Edison Featured in New Yorker Magazine
A handful of Raleigh natives, current and past, are featured in the latest edition of the New Yorker. Justin, maybe you’ve heard of him (ahem….Bon Iver) Vernon, is the main focus of the article that also touches on his roots in Raleigh with DeYarmond Edison and relationship with The Bowerbirds. The Bowerbirds are still kicking it around these parts with a new album coming out in 2009. DYE on the other hand haven’t been for two years, but Brad Cook (formerly of DYE and now in the local band Megafaun) told me that they are still selling tracks pretty well on iTunes. It’s hard out here for a flannel gangsta.
The newest article comes just before Vernon’s new EP, Blood Bank, is released in just over a week (January 20th). It is a fabulous 4 track album that picks up right where Emma left off. Neo soul/gospel is a deserving genre title for Bon Iver’s music.. The album also attempts to projects forward with an experimental track (Woods) using the infamous Auto-Tune that owes Imogean Heap a lot of credit.
Sasha Frere-Jones’ article focuses mostly on Emma and is a great retelling of Vernon’s story and rise to wooded falsetto fame.
Thanks to Tony for the tip and to the New Yorker for actually using the word Raleigh in print. Speaking of falsetto fame.

nice to see DeYarmond Edison mentioned… i remember their residency at Bickett (RIP) a few years back, it was so amazing! i guess the good news is the two great bands that emerged from those ashes.

After returning well to Germany, we are still owing you an answer and feedback.
First of all we want to emphasize that our trip to Vietnam was unforgettable and absolutely amazing! I booked via TUN Travel ( hotels-in-vietnam.com) This was however only possible with a reliable and professional travel agency. Therefore we want to express that your travel agency and especially Ms. Marry Phuong did an excellent job! Ms. Phuong was really taking care for us and was always available in case of any questions. This is what we call a perfect service.
Regarding the Cha Pa Garden Hotel we can definitely recommend this hotel. It is perfectly located in the center of Sapa, nevertheless it is quiet. The design of the rooms is really very beautiful and tasteful and the owners are keeping an eye on the details. We would certainly stay again in this little hotel when coming again to Sapa.
Also the Sunrise Resort in Cat Ba is a perfect hotel, which we can really recommend. However we would like to make one little remark: The barbecue on Sunday evening for 20 USD/person was not a barbecue, but a 3-course-menue. After having dinner at this hotel also on the following evenings, we think that the a-la-carte meals, which are very good, are the better choice.
In total Vietnam was really impressive and we are already thinking about the next trip. In this case we will certainly plan the trip again together with you. Besides we were already providing your address to our friends pointing out your excellent and reliable service.
Again thank you very much for everything and we hope to be back in Vietnam soon.
