The Enigma That Is the New Bon Iver Album: The P&B BBM Chat

We here at P&B love technology. We both use Blackberry Messenger like crazy, so why not show our deep conversations to the world! This is a first in the Blogosphere (we think). Here it is: The P&B BBM Chat.

ATeezy: Hey man I gave the new Bon Iver record a listen on my drive up north last weekend. Its a real head-scratcher for me! I can't figure it out.

ATeezy: I think some parts are brilliant, but other parts I'm like "wtf I don't get it"

Paqman: I think that's it! I listened to this album at least 5 times and I really tried to like it cause I think Vernon is brilliant. It just didn't happen for me.

Paqman: I stayed away from checking out reviews so that I can develop my own opinion. Here are one of my theories on the final product: he had too many resources to work with. More instrumentalists. More toys. More money. More problems?

Turnbull AKA Tza: Bro I've finally given this new Beasties rec a listen. Wasn't sure at first but after a few listens it sound completely dope.
Turnbull AKA Tza: So nice to hear a rap "group" again. Nice lyrical trade-offs between MCs
Paqman: Agreed. That is their trademark. Did u check out the vid?

Turnbull aka Tza: Yo Paq, I'm finally getting a chance to listen to this new Strokes rec...it's got that percussive guitar "jangle" we know and love from them doesn't' it? I thought the first single wasn't bad...nice & catchy. What do you think man?
Turnbull aka Tza: Such dynamic changes in some of the songwriting...3rd track "Two Kinds of Happiness" is pretty ambitious man....reminds me of The Cars at certain points.
Paqman: To start, I don't know much about the Stokes. I kinda dismissed them after hearing their first few singles off their major debut. I did see their performance on SNL which featured some new material and I thought they were cool. Sooo why not give the new release a try? They write catchy shit and I can hear tons of singles. "Under the Cover of Darkness" and "Taken for a Fool" stood out to me as cuts with charting potential.
