Great sift with the Andrew Bird video, it doesn't hurt that Daytrotter is in Guessandcheck and my's back yard. In fact I'll bet GNC will be dissappointed that I got to upvote it before him

Automatic upvote for Andrew Bird. Saw him at the Seattle Zoo and he was great.

'dark', hah, I guess you're technically right


i like adding channels, sue me

I've seen this sifted before; I've also heard Andrew Bird sing a rendition of it.

It took a little persuasive petitioning, but we're live now!

Thanks for the Andrew Bird bump-by-proxy!!

Audio quality aside, I think there's something to the closeness of that record store, and the false start on the loop machine that gives me a good, real feeling of being there. But bad enough not to upvote? My, you're discerning!

And it's a shame that fabchannel won't imbed. There's some gold on there.

It's okay, Issykitty. I like the "comments" number to get all pumped up so people think there's a really interesting conversation going on inside and thereby watch the video to see what all the hubub is about and, maybe, vote for it. I sure am glad I got my bronze before this 2-day queue thing because I probably would've given up! Thanks for your votes.

Neat. Nice mix of contemporary sound with some good riffy parts. Was just talking about how electric bowed instruments are finding their stride while listening to Andrew Bird. Sounds like an extraordinary experience working with Huschke and I've never listened to him before. I've had brushes with incredible talent myself, and they always leave me feeling elevated. I guess that's why we go see them.

I just saw your cello how-to clip. You should listen to Wolfram Huschke if you're into cello music. I had a chance to get to know him last year. I work in a theater house where he performed. The concert was supposed to be in an open air arena in the atrium of an old austrian empire mantion and he wasn't very enthusiastic to play in a theater hall when we had to change the venue because it was starting to rain just an hour before the concert. he explained to me later (he's very outgoing, energetic, talks a lot even during performances but he really captivates the audience with his simplicity and warm nature. he's a genius on stage) that he was afraid the humidity would ruin his acoustic cello (he is more famous for his electric cello performances but this time he played both, acoustic and electric, uses some cheap guitar effects on that one i was the organiser on that gig and he had to convince me to change venue. i was pressed fot time but he got me laughing right away and i and the whole team worked like hell to get all set up in less than an hour from scratch, the sound system, the lights, everything. we had a chance to talk a bit later (in my lousy german, we than switched to english) but he had to leave that night for another city, he was on a kind of mini-tour through Astria, Slovenia, Croatia and Italy. i have a couple of his cds' he gave me and i like them a lot. i found this low-quality vid of him on youtube if you want to check it out.

"For some reason I don't think you could get away with whistling as a musical act these days."

A ha my friend, you've never seen Andrew Bird. Not exclusively whistling, but some damn good whistling when he does it.

didn't like them live. was quite bored. had just seen Andrew Bird earlier that week, so maybe it was just the comparison.
