Andrew Bird at the Hiro Ballroom (10/07/08)Andrew Bird just announced a string of new dates on his Noble Beast tour and a return engagement to NYC is absent from the itinerary. This isn’t really a huge surprise though given that I don’t think his recent Radio City show sold out despite the relentless promotion on [...]

This is easily one of the best interviews I have ever seen. Check out Andrew Birdman's eyebrow raise after he whistles. Classic.

There's always been something about Andrew Bird's music that has attracted oddballs.
