The last minute of 'Plasticities' is the best 1 minute of music ever. NO CONTEST.
He's brilliant. When's the next album due?
when he played London in April, the new songs he previewed sounded excellent (if a bit rough edged)
superb musician, great lyricist and fantastic voice. Some decent gig footage from Paradiso on fabchannel.com
and Fake Palindromes is a stunning song.
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.
playing in Berlin on Saturday night. I arrive in Berlin on Saturday afternoon. I should go, right?
anyone noticed how Channel4/Film4 and BBC2 keep using him on their trailers?
What's his best record?
IMO, although I'm sure many will disagree.

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