New Bon Iver Album Due in June

Rolling Stone reported yesterday that a new Bon Iver release is on the way this summer.  I, for one, cannot wait.  Justin Vernon, the driving force of the band, has been busy since the debut album with various side projects and a contribution to Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, which was a hell of an album.  I hope that this news excites you as much as it does me.

New Kanye West - Power

Love him or hate him, Kanye West has done as much as any artist in the last 10 years to help shape the hip hop scene. Aside from the auto-tuned misstep of 808's and Heartbreak, Kanye has always put out quality albums and his guest verses on recent releases (see "Hate" and "Run This Town" on Jay Z's The Blueprint 3) always threaten to overshadow the title artist. "Power," from the upcoming release Good Ass Job is Kanye at his egotistical best. With a King Crimson sample, and a beat that sounds like it was swiped from Sleigh Bells, Kanye returns to form on this great track.
