Without Northern Exposure, There Would Be No Bon Iver

That’s what The New Yorker‘s Sasha Frere-Jones taught me in a video interview with the band’s lead singer, Justin Vernon. And without Bon Iver, my holiday break would have been about 1/14th as good. (The album got much rotation on the iPhone.) Is a reference to Janine Turner’s initial claim to fame too tangential to count as a Dallas connection for this post? Perhaps. But I’m willing to take that chance.
