At the risk of turning Analogue into a clip sharing site, I simply have to share this. Ian Svenonius, a sort of down tempo American Russell Brand, and former lead singer of parody politics punk outfit Nation of Ulysses, now hosts uberhip lounge interview show Soft Focus. The show (and the Vice channel on which it airs) represents at once the epitome of hipsterism and an utter send up of its too cool for school premise. When Svenonius met alt country darling Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, genius had to ensue.

One more thing. This girl, who covered this song better than the original, finally got her chance to play with this guy. Praise be the internets.
