After giving For Emma, Forever Ago a good listening to for the first time in a while, I decided to go meandering through the internet searching for some recent updates on the band. For the most part there hasn't been a whole lot of activity since the album's release in 2007 other than the Blood Bank EP and I'm sure that by now there is a huge demand for a follow-up. Scanning across websites I landed on an article and couldn't help but laugh as I read that Justin Vernon has been recording on numerous occasions with Kanye West. However, once I realized that I wasn't on The Onion and that there are confirmations of this, my smile turned into subtle weeping. I understand that Justin is somewhat new to the whole fame thing and was probably enthralled to find a star that wanted him to record, but still. How can a man who wrote his album in the midst of hardship alone in a cabin up in Wisconsin have anything in common with a pop star? I'm going to be honest, all that I know about Kanye I read on a yahoo newsfeed but still, I really hope that Justin is making the right choice.
