Also -- You familiar with the Fruit Bats album Mouthfulls? I was heavy in to that album when I first met my wife. It will forever remind me of that time of my life. Good stuff.
I get email updates from his "fan club", unfortunately he never comes to my neck of the woods when I can see him. It's been a few years now. If you get the chance, do go. Not sure if I mentioned this before, but I've met him a couple of times and he was a really nice guy. Nothing big, just "hello" and some small talk. You remember the day that the electricity went out in the US on the east coast/midwest? They called it the "blackout", I met him that day and we talked about whether he'd be performing if the power didn't come back? He played that night at the Ark in Ann Arbor. He was walking down the street, whistling.
Love the Fruitbats and Andrew Bird. I've met Andrew a couple of times, very nice and extremely shy fella. One of the best shows I've ever seen was Andrew at the Ark in Ann Arbor MI. Small room, BIG show.
