Chapel Hill, Durham is kind of this big conglomeration. We moved down there and then instantly sort of like were wedged in with this great social circle. We loved it, but we wanted to get away from it. Heard so much about the Carolinas, Colorado seemed kinda snowy. So it's kind of like the Colorado area or the Carolinas. We need to have an adventure." New York was too much and Chicago's kind of too close with too much of an intimidation factor. We looked at a map and we were like, "We need to go somewhere. JV: My friends and I, my bandmates and I, we all moved to Raleigh. _ Pitchfork: _ How did you come to be in North Carolina? It's ten degrees outside." I'm just like, "Cool. I called my dad that day to tell him what was going on with my passport and he was like, "Yeah it snowed four inches today. I'm not being self-demeaning, but I actually feel like I'm not as cool as them, you know what I mean? And I don't have like whatever, so I'm just like, "Oh man, I'm just going to try to stay out of most people's way and get a taco and enjoy myself as much as I can," because it's such a beautiful town. JV: The amount of people that I feel like. _ Pitchfork: _ Just the amount of people there, or the amount of people doing music? It's a very intimidating atmosphere for me. "South by" is a too many people for me probably. A lot of my friends who I don't see very often were down there from North Carolina. I shouldn't have taken it off, but.so that was kind of a bummer.īut I was kinda of like, "You know what, I'm having a really good time." We were having good shows for the most part. You know what I mean? Man, it was like my whole life in my fannypack. It was like $300, passport, my driver's license, my credit cards, the band credit card, my molded ear-plugs, my nice earphones, polaroids of me and my girlfriend. My guess is someone in there saw me and as soon as I left the room, grabbed it and left. I even had a great day besides that, but like I put it down, I hid it. JV: It was stolen from the back room at the Parish. What all happened? Did it get lost? Did it get stolen? I can't stay at my friend's house because I had to have my passport sent. The thing that really does bum me out is like Portland I'm here and I can't be here. You bitch and moan a little bit, but there's no where else I'd rather be and like here I am. _ Pitchfork: _ Do you think it's because you're sick? Ten hour drive to get here, we unload, we sound check, we get here we take photos, we do this. We got in after a ten hour drive after sleeping for four hours. He's such an awesome dude, but I don't know how I'm going to see him and spend any quality time with him. For instance I just got word from a friend of mine- Paul Kincaid. _ Pitchfork: _ Is it hard for you when you come into cities and don't have time and have friends in the cities? _ Pitchfork: _ Are you going to be able to eat tonight? _ Pitchfork: _ He's scouting a movie and he's just made a video about a feud he has going with a community newspaper. Justin Vernon: Yeah- we've been listening to this Ricky Gervais podcast. Pitchfork: You're speaking with an English accent- is that what I'm hearing? Vernon also took time to explain just what a record means to him, address the TV on the Radio comparisons, and even briefly venture into the land of * Rumours *. That acquisition provides enough fodder to fill us in on his personal code of conduct, couch-surfing past, favorite quotes, and just how much his heart belongs to the Copper State. ![]() ![]() While his personalization tendencies may make him a landlord's worst nightmare (he likes to scrawl lyrics and quotes on his walls), Vernon has bowed out of the renting game and bought himself a bungalow in his home-state of Wisconsin. Triggered by a bout of illness and break-ups with both his girlfriend and his band, Vernon's retreat to the seclusion of a Wisconsin cabin yielded an album's worth of material, the fabulous folk-pop record * For Emma, Forever Ago *. Lifted from a wintertime greeting on "Northern Exposure", "Bon Iver" first served as the salutation for a thank-you letter to Kelly Crisp of the Rosebuds before it was the adopted name of Justin Vernon's music project. ![]()
