 Those of you who know me, and I’m going to assume it’s all of those reading this blog, will know that Bon Iver is my favourite band. Perhaps the only band I can say that I honestly love whenever people ask me about my taste in music. I discovered Bon Iver in the Hong Kong HMV in Causeway Bay shortly after For Emma, Forever Ago was released in 2008. I was walking around and saw a band I was familiar with in one of the CD players.

But whenever I think about it, I feel like I have the music team of Grey’s Anatomy to thank for my taste in music (I remember checking lists of the [...] 14 March, 2011 at 9.00 am
Though to be honest I think my favourite song from the album, Kiss Each Other Clean, is “Walking Far From Home”.

When someone finds the time to ask me what I’m doing or where I’m going, I usually get a range of viewpoints. Most startlingly I have been approached a few times with “I think what you’re doing is really great!” or “Mmm, yeah there’s nothing wrong with that.” For a few seconds I just gape and wonder what we’re talking about again….and wonder what we’re talking about again …. and wonder wha- It was just surprising to find that a few people thought I needed consoling on my decision to take a gap year. It’s a shame that taking [...] 29 April, 2010 at 6.46 am
