These are genius, though they're at their best when they don't lean on the "lol hipster commercialism" crutch.

Bon Iver is a band. These are photos of Justin Vernon.
I guess it's confusing to me. It's like if there was a photo of Geddy Lee eating ice cream and the caption read RUSH LOVES MINT CHIP.

I... kinda want to start a Tumblr like that now. Nothing but pictures of David Lee Roth and the blog title will be Van Halen is a Pretty Cool Guy and Eh Doesn't Afraid of Anything.

Bon Iver must have known I would wear his workshirts to bed while he was away. He left me gifts in the breast pocket of each - a tiny shell, a dried flower, a pinecone.
That's just fucking genius.

This morning, after our passionate and tender lovemaking, Bon Iver brought me fresh-brewed coffee in a mug he’d carved out of the branch of a tree that fell in the wind. I sipped it while he hummed and assembled his ice-fishing gear.
This is why the internet exists.

Sure, that is probably part of the joke here.
But Justin Vernon is Bon Iver, like Sam Beam is Iron & Wine. It's not a full band photo they put beside reviews of Bon Iver music…

Yesterday we adopted a Siberian husky puppy. We committed to feeding him a locavore diet and loving him forever. Bon Iver fitted a sidecar to his cold-war motorcycle so the dog can accompany him to the lake.
We named him Homespun.
Justin, Husky, motorcycle, lake = Sploosh!
[ I'm going to assume he's wearing a flannel shirt to complete this erotic picture. ]

I pictured Justin Timberlake as Bon Iver in all of these. And then Bon Iver showed up, handed me a piece of sloughed tree bark, telling me wordlessly that it was as thick as his skin - then left to put fallen baby birds back in their nests, after covering me with his least-favourite flannel shirt. I remained on my sofa feeling regretful and drinking my ham water while petting my cat.

I'm just curious if you have a list for indoor fellatio, also.

I love this and it finally explains my Bon Ivar deafness. My musical coming of age and current listening catalog should accommodate Bon Ivar, but I can't get all the way through a single song on any album. I don't think the author of this tumblr could make this and not love Bon Ivar, which is what makes it so good and so funny, but for me it is a kind of meta-analysis of Bon Ivar (band) that captures what my deal is. Namely, that more than I want 40 minutes of cunnilingus that inspires songwriting, I want the band equivalent of the lover who will volunteer to call the pizza order in expressly so I can be pathologically socially avoidant.

Bon Iver is just one of those things I do not get and will not try to understand. But I can't help but wonder why he is standing in so many fields of tall grass.
