I just wanted to share this clip of Bon Iver with you because it is nice — nothing more, nothing less. He kind of looks like an American Badly Drawn Boy — with the scraggly beard and knit cap — but his sound is that of a haunted folkster with a surprising tenor.
In case you haven’t gotten around to watching them, there have already been three Battlestar Galactica webisodes! And it’s all good, clean fun — in that dreary way only Battlestar can deliver.
The series starts off with Gaeta and Hoshi gaying it up with a cute little smooch and bedroomy eyes (and not to be all “oooooh, boys kissing,” but… well… oooooh, boys kissing!). I’m still trying to get a grasp of homophobia in alternate-reality Galactica-land, but there does appear to be some sort of fleet-wide don’t ask, don’t tell policy given Hoshi’s awkward encounter with Tigh. Or, perhaps, it’s just don’t ask or tell a crusty old cylon with an eyepatch.
Here’s the first of the webisodes, entitled Face of the Enemy.
