Andrew Bird

The last minute of 'Plasticities' is the best 1 minute of music ever. NO CONTEST.

He's brilliant. When's the next album due?



  • He was halfway through recording it

    when he played London in April, the new songs he previewed sounded excellent (if a bit rough edged)

  • agreed on his brilliance

    superb musician, great lyricist and fantastic voice. Some decent gig footage from Paradiso on fabchannel.com

    • Yes to the Bird!

      and Fake Palindromes is a stunning song.

  • Basically

    I have been obsessed with Bird lately. Last week I looked at my Last.FM and it had registered 250 plays or something outrageous like that.

  • He's

    playing in Berlin on Saturday night. I arrive in Berlin on Saturday afternoon. I should go, right?

  • he's amazing

    anyone noticed how Channel4/Film4 and BBC2 keep using him on their trailers?

  • I've never listened to him before

    What's his best record?

    • Armchair Apocrypha

      IMO, although I'm sure many will disagree.

      • it's a toss up between

        that and Eggs

        • I’d say ‘Eggs’

          Is easily my fave out of the ones I’ve heard.

    • yes

      eggs is good but would only be about 30% as good if it didn't have 'A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left'. I'd go for Armchair first.

  • Its all about Dark Matter!

    "When I was a little boy, I threw away all my toys, cos I became addicted to......

    OPERAAAAAAAAAAAATIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!"

    • YES! I'm glad someone agrees with me!
