There are two kinds of pop artists, those who sing about palindromes and play the violin, and those who don’t. Andrew Bird is one of the former.
“Calcified arithmetists” might be another way to divide pop artists into groups.
Anyway, Andrew Bird is awesome, and I’m tired, so that’s all that needs to be said!

I’m impressed with anyone that can whistle into a microphone while playing an instrument in front of a live audience. I’ve tried it many times—never works for me.Report
This was my introduction to Andrew Bird. It made enough of an impression on my to get me to look for his other work.

Jack’s Big Music Show is awesome. My kids love it and so do I.
