Bon Iver- “Towers” Music Video
by Anthony Porcelli •
Grammy-winning indie band Bon Iver just released a music video for “Towers”, one of my favorites off their sophomore album. As CoS pointed out, the main character seems to be taken from the cover of Led Zeppelin IV, which I thought was really cool. I love seeing new indie bands paying homage to the classics.

Big Sean- “Two Can Win”
by Anthony Porcelli •
In honor of legendary producer J Dilla, Big Sean dropped this track over one of his beats. Big Sean doesn’t really flow that well over the beat on this one, but still delivers lyrically despite the short verse. RIP J Dilla. Big Sean – Two Can Win by illRoots
