New meme alert: "Say something about Prince"

A new Prince meme randomly popped up on the Internet today. Our favorite comments include "Prince was in the movie 'Fargo,'" and "I still don’t understand what it’s supposed to sound like when doves cry." Go ahead, you know you want to contribute.

The top three Bon Iver Grammys memes

We're admittedly a little late to the game here, but we figured we aught to do a Bon Iver post-Grammys meme roundup in case you have some catching up to do.

1. The band had already inspired a "Who is Bon Iver?" Tumblr, but after the Grammy wins, Twitter was awash with a new bout of confusion - chiefly, the "Who is Bonny Bear?" meme. Shortformblog.com and Hipster Runoff and others have offered their own takes on the meme:

2. The "Sweet Hookup" meme, so-named for Justin Vernon's charmingly goofy reaction to winning a Grammy in his acceptance speech, is another Bon Iver Grammy meme.

Via The Fader

3. The Chicago improv troupe Funemployed - who infamously brought us the "Arcade Fire Hipster Attack" video - is back with "Bon Iver Is Not Bonny Bear," a fairly gory but funny take on the meme.

Solace's Greatest Hits

Tuesday night, City Pages' music editor Andrea Swensson got bored, found a photo of Kyle Matteson (a.k.a. @solace) and made it into an album cover as a joke. Well, the joke caught on and turned into a local meme of sorts! A number of Twin Cities music nerds and friends began crafting album covers based on the popular Twitter user and music scene staple's facebook pix, and hilarity ensued. Make your own (of Kyle or your own friends). We think this could be a fun game!

Bon Iver on Fallon, plus a new Bon Iver meme

It's Bon Iver fever at LOL/OMG this week. Last night, he performed a gorgeous rendition of "Holocene" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon:



Meanwhile, Twitter has been buzzing with the hilarious Adjective collected from six reviews of the new Bon Iver album by pop culture blog The Awl. Our favorites are the variations of "bearded": "beardo," "beardy."

In response, Minneapolis' own @solace seemed to have created a new meme, via a word cloud using nouns found in Bon Iver reviews.


While we're on the topic, NPR has a new interview with Vernon you can listen to or read on their website.
