Did you ever see him when he had a bowl of fire? The rave-ups with Nora singing were purely ecstatic moments! I’m wishing now that I was in town when he played here next week, this sounds great!

just saw the san francisco show. this was the second time i’ve seen him live. truly a performer. i can’t decide which album i like better. mysterious production has some gorgeous arrangements, but he lets his amazing jeff buckley pipes go to town on this album. both are incredible albums. watching him live is enchanting. he went over the opening to skin is, my about 5 or 6 times last night. perfectionism. i feel like so many musicians let the noise take over when they perform, but andrew keeps the silences right where they need to be in order to let his music breathe. memorable show. we missed apostle of hustle, sadly. excited about most things off of arts and crafts.

JJ – Longer on the way home when it’s dark and everyone else in the car falls asleep? Definitely.

You think the road to Boulder is getting longer? Weird, I think just the opposite. When I was a kid, it seemed to take all day just to get to Denver, now it takes less than an hour. The rest of Colorado seems similarly compressed.

I’m a new visitor to your blog. I just saw Andrew Bird a week or so ago, here in Ohio. I share your enthusiasm. He whistles magically.

heather,
Thanks so much for the Arts-Crafts link. I just enjoyed Amy Millan and loved Jason Collett’s upcoming release “Idols of Exile”, These are the Days, Pavement Puddle Star, Fire…

That site is for keeps. Here’s the link to Jason.

I will try on Andrew Bird again tomorrow.

It was great going to the show with you last night! Just the fact that he took his shoes off before he started playing and placed his stuffed monkey on the speakers made me appreciate him long before the first pluck. Love your blog.
