The Icelandic Bon Iver, Basically

Monday, March 10th, 9:54am:

Received text message from esteemed colleague and roommate Chris reading, "Whoa dude.  Asgeir - Torrent.  Check it out."

9:55am:

Opened Spotify and listened to "Torrent" by Asgeir.

9:57am:

Auditory arousal achieved.  Listened to rest of album.  More arousal.

Tuesday, March 11th, around 7:30pm:

Discussed Asgeir album with roommate and concluded that the band is the Icelandic Bon Iver.  Freaking spot on.

7:45pm:

Searched future tour dates on Do512.com and discovered that Asgeir would be performing at a free show on Rainey Street the next night for SXSW.  No freaking way.

Wednesday, March 12th, around 9:00pm:

Showed up by myself to Blackheart on Rainey Street for the show.

10:00pm:

Asgeir show began.

10:27pm:

Had slightly embarrassing emotional experience induced by beauteous music.

10:53pm:

Shook lead singer's hand.  Whoa.  Those were soft hands.  Does he moisturize?  Probably.  So cool.
