Happy valentine's day

So the Grammys happened this weekend.  One notable winner was Bon Iver, who took the prize for Best New Artist just 4 short years after their critically acclaimed debut.*  But who does Justin Vernon think should have won the award?  Polica, an emerging indie band from Minneapolis.  In his words, "They're the best band I've ever heard."  Strong praise.
  

First album came out in December and they're touring now -- check em out.

* Other previous winners include Amy Winehouse in 2008 (five years after her '03 debut), Lauryn Hill in 1999 (three years after the Fugees won a Grammy for the Score....), and Milli Vanilli.
