DJ comments: I could lie and pretend that I cheated on this one, which I did, but I simply had a mental block. I forgot that Bon Iver is not the name of the singing man, it is the name of the band. I'm a moron, but we'll keep the entry as I've already played the song.

Justin Vernon is from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, which is not too far from where Chris and I call home. I love finding out that great musicians are from the Midwest -- let people know we're not just a bunch of rednecks having fun with pigs on our parents' farms. I suppose I shouldn't speak for everyone who lives in this wonderful region... — BJ
