Bird on a wire

Talking of strings, here is why we are fans of Andrew Bird in this house. Because he can go from this:

Dr. Stringz - Andrew Bird

(Yes, this is where I first found out about him. Let me tell you, Jack's Big Music Show is an excellent source of music for children and adults alike.)



to this:

Excerpt from The Wordless Music Series - Andrew Bird




to this:

Ravel (live) - Andrew Bird
Oh, that he fits my my skinny boy fantasy type is completely incidental to liking him, of course. Hah.



To this:

Water Jet Cilice (live) - Andrew Bird
(After watching this, I may have publicly announced my, uh, affinity for him and desire to see him live in terms so eloquent that even my five year old looked at me oddly, saying, "Mommy, it's just a video!" in a tone that clearly had the undertones of, "Please stop embarrassing me and yourself, woman.")

Ha! I totally agree about Jack's Big Music Show; that plus Yo Gabba Gabba are where I find most of my new music these days. And JBMS is our favorite kid show.

I admit that the first episode we saw was the Andrew Bird episode, and it totally hooked me. Us. I mean us, of course.

Yeah, he's smoking hot.
