...the funicular line stopped across the river in the old Lloyd Center, once the biggest shopping center in the world, back before the Crash. Nowadays the vast multilevel parking lots were gone along with the dinosaurs, and many of the shops and stores along the two-level mall were empty, boarded up.

Track 3 from the album Bon Iver, Bon Iver.
Justin Vernon: "Holocene is a bar in Portland, Ore., but it's also the name of a geologic era, an epoch if you will. It's a good example of how all the songs are all meant to come together as this idea that places are times and people are places and times are... people? [Laughs.] They can all be different and the same at the same time. Most of our lives feel like these epochs. That's kind of what that song's about. 'Once I knew I was not magnificent.' Our lives feel like these epochs, but really we are dust in the wind. But I think there's a significance in that insignificance that I was trying to look at in that song."
Alex Bertolucci: "It's a fun place to go dancing and hang out with your friends. They have good drinks but it can take a while to get one. The vibe is a good one. The atmosphere is OK but nothing spectacular. A fun club"
