Andrew Bird
Label: Righteous BabeGenre: Pop
A message from Sean to me, regarding Andrew Bird: "Damn, you beat me to this! AB's one of those artists that I just never took the time to listen to, even though I had access to his records....then when I do finally listen, I'm kicking myself for waiting so long..." Incredibly fresh songwriting, with an abundance of clever lines and complex instrumentation that fits somewhere between Nick Drake and Arcade Fire. Thanks to Gordon for this suggestion.

Link this artist: save to del.icio.us | Digg this
Yeah, me too. Thanks, Nichole. I just pulled "Lull" off the list because of this. At one time -- in February, to be precise -- that link worked, because I have a download of the full song. Now, when you try to save "Lull" off of andrewbird.net, you get "Sovay" instead. Perhaps the link was crossed when his website changed from bowloffire.com to the current one... Anyway, sorry for the bad link.

Excellent choice! Since listening to your audio, I hemmed and hawed about getting Andrew Bird's latest, and then finally bought the album. I'm not sorry! Thanks, guys!

There's a free streaming concert on the web. It's fantastic.

You must see Andrew Bird live. He's on tour now with Dosh and damn if that isn't some tasty duet action.
Just go.

Nice picks! I'm only getting 1MB of "Lull," though...?
