This has got to be one of my personal favourite albums ever, and I haven’t even bought it yet.

Packed full of beautifully moving indie-folk croons, this critically-acclaimed record by Justin Vernon aka Bon Iver is a must-have for 2008.

Listen to ‘Flumes‘ by clicking on the video above, or listen to the entire album streamed here at Virb.

+ At school, you don’t get to pick your teachers or your classmates or your uniform. Soon though – if the National Union of Teachers (NUT) get their way – Headteachers may have to allow imams, rabbis and priests to offer religious instruction to pupils in all state schools, skimpy understands. Hmm…

+ If, like me, you’re one of those people who has to be one step ahead of everyone else, particularly when it comes to what you’re wearing, this is a pretty good and useful summary of what will be hot this comming spring/summer season.+ think: chic geeks, mr sheen, neutral layers, burgundy, napoleon, future fabrics and monochromo.+ read the whole guide by Becky Lyon here.

+ then, go and carelessly spend all your hard-earned!
