was just chilling in one of the biggest grocery shops in denmark when i heard this song 🥹

i never heard bon iver being played in public before, it made me so happy ❤️

What do yall think are the chances of BI performing again? Doesn’t have to be a tour, I highly doubt he tours again, but little one off performances and festivals?

Wisconsin - Bon Iver Hidden track from FEFA Thoughts?

(Forgive me if this has been posted before. I couldn't find anything in the Reddit history)

I was looking this evening at my very old account on Flickr, in part to remember what photo sharing was like before now. There's something really nice in just seeing the photos of people you choose to follow. I forgot, and have not looked in nearly a decade, that Justin posted quite a few great, early BI photos on his account. Deep in history and probably mentioned somewhere else, but it was fun looking through them.

DIsclaimer: English is not my first language and this is my first post on Reddit.

While listening to 22, A Million I thought: every song has a number associated with it. Therefore, if we concatenate the digits of every song, we can form a number associated with the album. The number for the original order is: 221,071,533,296,662,184,500,000.

The question that came to my mind was: Is there any order of songs in the album that produces a prime number? Let’s call these orders prime orders.

Before doing any heavy calculations, I estimated how many primes I could expect. First, the number of possible orders is 10!=3,628,800. That’s a big number, so we would be very unlucky if we didn’t find any prime. However, we can be more precise. Using the Prime Number Theorem we expect that about 1.8% of 24-digit numbers and 2.3% of 19-digit numbers are prime.

Why 19-digit numbers? Because if the first song is 00000 Million, the resulting number will have 5 fewer digits. Making a weighted estimate, there should be around 67,056 prime orders. So it is very likely that some reordering will give a prime number.

At first, I thought of doing a random search, since on average it would take about 55 tries to find a prime order. But I decided to go all in and find all of them. It turned out to be quite fast to check if the numbers were prime. Since primes greater than 5 must end in 1, 3, 7, or 9, the last song must be 33 "GOD", 29 #Strafford APTS or 21 M♢♢N WATER. Applying this sieve removes about 70% of the orders, leaving us with 1,088,640 numbers to test. In the end, I found 80,355 prime orders. For example, one of them is

- 21 M♢♢N WATER
- 8 (circle)
- 33 "GOD"
- 10 d E A T h b R E a s T ⊠ ⊠
- 00000 Million
- ____45_____
- 666 ʇ
- 22 (OVER S∞∞N)
- 715 - CRΣΣKS
- 29 #Strafford APTS

which corresponds to 218,331,000,000,456,662,271,529, a prime number.

Having so many options to choose from, I wanted to find a special one: the closest to the original order. But what does "closeness" mean? It could mean numerically closest, or the one requiring the fewest permutations from the original. Interestingly, both definitions gave the same prime order

- 22 (OVER S∞∞N)
- 10 d E A T h b R E a s T ⊠ ⊠
- 715 - CRΣΣKS
- 33 "GOD"
- 29 #Strafford APTS
- 666 ʇ
- 8 (circle)
- ____45_____
- 00000 Million
- 21 M♢♢N WATER

This represents the number 221,071,533,296,668,450,000,021, which is just 6,265,500,021 away from the original. The only difference is that 21 M♢♢N WATER moves from the 7th to the last position. That requires only three permutations and is the fewest possible to make the number odd, since 21 M♢♢N WATER is the last odd song in the album. Any other prime order would need strictly more than three permutations.

Concluiding, not only did we find 80,355 prime orders of the album, we were also able to indetify the closest one to the original. I leave here a link to a playlist with this order. Thank you so much for reading this far.

I have been working on a massive art project all summer - and it still has not reached its ultimate end goal. But all summer I've been using Instagram as part of the project, a place where I share the process, mini essays, poetry etc alongside visual artworks, while working on a media artwork that is the encapsulation of the whole concept.

It is a playful experiment with time/space and the creative power of ritual and intentional artistic manifestation through the concept of retrocausality. The artwork is the effect of the cause - the cause being when I met Justin Vernon of Bon Iver. Which is yet to happen. At the same time the experiment in itself is the cause of a yet unknown effect of its own. This project is of two timelines, playing in parallel and in both directions. Inspired by Bon Iver and Mitch Horowitz among others.

/Meaning is not found, it is created/

Should I re-post all of the IG-posts to my Reddit page, or just wait until they are all stacked in a neat e-book for easy browsing? The media work I will publish here either way.

Oh, you come in all woke now ??

Hi! I'm selling one ticket to the show on Sept 5 at a discounted price, $125 (purchased for $180) GLCIRL, row E - let me know if you're interested!

Hey if you’re into this type of music I think you’d love my song ‘Dimes’

It’s about resilience, trying again and again and about the ways we may act performative to complete our jobs but it’s not performative in an inauthentic way, more like you’re outwards self ?

I really like his voice in the song exile where he sings deeper. Any other songs like this?

I've been listening to their new album non-stop lately. It is incredible, and I would recommend it to anyone here. But, aside from that, I saw a couple of people saying it gives some Bon Iver vibes. Both musically and emotionally. This idea of my two favorite groups getting love from same people made me quite happy. So I wanted to see if there are people who share the sentiment in here as well.

Congratulations to BJ "Brandon" Burton and his friends. An unbelievable piece of work

Unpeeled keenness bean for bean?

Experimenting with flipping another track into a post-dubstep IDM piece

Feeling overwhelmed with emotions. Doing one of the only thing that soothes me when that happens: paint and listen to Bon Iver. This abstract piece was done while listening to fable, sable. Hoping the pain stops but in the meantime i'll keep fighting with productive coping mechanisms like making art. Hope you enjoy

I've said it. I'm so very fond of and full of such admiration for Bon Iver and Justin himself. Truly an inspiration and his music effects me like no other can and does for countless other folk I'm sure. It's something else, it's special, it's feels sincere and true. Obviously the arrangements and production are integral to this...

I just hate it when that bloody slide guitar comes in. On literally everything it's in, every album, every song it's on. It takes me away from a moment at times and it feels forced and unnecessary. I don't like it.

The player/s are obviously really talented and the riffs sound sweet of tone and certainly emotive. I just wish it wasn't there...

Had to get that off my chest

Except maaaaaybe for Emma (song)

Thanks for your time
