2012 is shaping up to be one hell of a year for Bon Iver. After earning high spots on a more than a few year-end lists and locking down four top Grammy nominations (Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best New Artist and Best Alternative Album), the Wisconsin folksters announced they will make their 'Saturday Night Live' debut on Feb. 4. The announcement was made by 700 young angels, in a thin falsetto.

This week, the Justin Vernon-led outfit also announced they will play Coachella's main stage in April. On top of that, Vernon is launching a record label, Chigliak Records, which will focus on putting out rare albums that were never or only locally released. So yeah, it seems that the guy has found ways to spend his time other than living in a cabin in the woods for months at a time.

Jason Isbell, singer and former Drive-By Truckers member, launched a Twitter feud with country singer Dierks Bentley last week. According to Billboard, Isbell says Bentley's new single 'Home' is similar to 'In A Razor Town,' a song from Isbell's 2007 solo album 'Sirens Of The Ditch.'

Isbell raised the issue on Jan. 6 with a tweet repeatedly misspelling Bentley's first name before saying the following in series of follow-up tweets: "'Dierks' has officially ripped off my song 'In A Razor Town.' Dierks is a douchebag. The song of Dierks is called 'Home.'"

Later Isbell called Dan Wilson -- who co-wrote the song with Bentley and Brett Beavers -- a "super smart songwriter" but added "I bet he's never heard my song. I bet Dierks brought that idea to the table and Dan ran with it."

The accusations riled up Bentley fans who began replying to Isbell. "I think this is a good time to ask all Dierks Bentley fans to unfollow me," Isbell added. "We just weren't meant to be friends."
