markosis Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Hopefully I'll make it to one of his solo shows at the Largo later this month. A Bird solo show must be awesome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fineartoflife Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Sweetness, this sounds great. Is this the album with Kotche? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 03 Fitz and the Dizzyspells05 Tenuousness06 Nomenclature08 Anonanimali heard these over the course of his 3 show run in Mpls last December... they sounded killer then, can't wait! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAngerer09 Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 Sweetness, this sounds great. Is this the album with Kotche? I don't think so. I remember when he was writing that blog for the NYTimes he talked about recording with his current bassist and drummer (Martin Dosh). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I think the album with Glenn is suppose to be instrumental, yes??!Anyways, horay! I can't wait. I was just listening to Armchair the other day, what a great record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sly like a Foxwell Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 looks like i know who's tour i am watching next. sounds good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 This is definitely more like Eggs-esque in its production, both were good but I like this direction. edit: Now that I think about it, this direction is kinda swingy. I like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
junkiesmile Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Has anyone seen the Marriott commercials with Andrew Bird songs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAngerer09 Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 Yeah, and they completely reworked the songs for the commercials. Took out lyrics, changed up the song structure a bit or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 His show last night here in Ithaca was lovely. I had a front row center seat, and it pretty much felt like he was playing just for me. The sound quality at the State Theatre was fantastic--he even said it was his favorite room he'd sung in as long as he could remember (here's hoping that he mentions that to Wilco...)--and the crowd was respectfully quiet at all the right times but enthusiastic, too. He played two songs from the new album last night, Natural Disaster and Fitz and the Dizzyspells, the latter of which he'd never played by himself before and seemed to decide to on a whim. It was inspired by a night he spent in a cheap motel in Windsor, Canada, some years ago, back when he was touring by himself with all his equipment in his car. He got up in the morning and found that someone had slid a note under the door that simply read: "You woke me up." He said he'd just watched TV and had gone to sleep, so he had no idea what kind of night terrors he must've been having. He said the album has a natural history theme and that he just finished it two days ago and actually still likes it. This and Nels's new solo album are probably my most-awaited releases for the first quarter of next year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stickman Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Here's a video of Masterswarm, another song on the album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I pre-ordered my copy. I was a little surprised it's $26, but it sounds like it will be well worth it. I also went ahead and ordered a copy of Live In Montreal, since I've been meaning to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Preferred B Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Yes, Useless Creatures features Glenn and Todd Sickafoose. Ordered! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
