So he added three new, giant gramophones to his set and a new guitarist. Not too long ago, I ripped on Bird for his under-whelming CD release, Noble Beast. Dave, on the other hand, gave him more praise than I've ever seen him do on his show. "How bout dis Paul, ya know whad-aye Sayin'?!"
I agree because he rhymes "snack machine."

CORRECTIONS & UPDATES
-Andrew Bird IS playing at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Music Hall on April 7th (and so is Morrissey on March 17th). You can listen to Bird's full new album, Noble Beast, streaming here. I've only gotten through 2 tracks so far and it sounded a bit dull, so I've switched to this stream of his new instrumental "deluxe-edition disc" called Useless Creatures. I like it better already; good for sleep.
-Dr. Pepper did NOT lie. I got my free DP in the mail-- a coupon-- not an actual bottle. So it worked. Well, I assume it will. It's still crumpled up in my coat pocket waiting for just the right moment.
-Wayne Coyne's film "Christmas on Mars" DID come to Pittsburgh for a short time, Dec. 19 & 20, courtesy of the Pittsburgh Filmmakers.
-Gisele and Tom Brady, according to his father and sister, did NOT get engaged.
-This is NOT what boobs are made for:

OK this is 4 days old,But it has to be said,
According to Pitchfork Media and Fat Possum:
He's scheduled for the Carnegie Music Hall... in New York, not Pittsburgh, which makes me sad but proud. Pittsburgh's a good tour stop for the upcoming musician; when they get bigger they stop coming; then when they're really big they come back... well, most of the time (I'm still waiting for The Click Five to come back). Last fall, I enjoyed falling asleep (in the best way possible) to Bird's 3.5 hour performance in Carnegie Music Hall, but it looks like this year I'll be making a trip to see my bro.
Although I have a lot of excellent help, I’m producing my own record here, from microphone placement to deciding when to break for lunch. There’s a reason for the division of labor that was once the norm in the recording industry, where the producer took care of the details and delegation -- even song choice -- so that the musicians could just focus on performing. I’d love to be coddled and just walk on to a soundstage and do my job, but I’m afraid that relinquishing control would ultimately result in a limiting of imagination.
Read the rest from a rather interesting NY Times blog entry where Bird describes the recording process done at the Wilco Loft. But you probably already have, since it's 6 months old. I know, this post is not news; it's mostly for my own blog-masturbation-- the same reason why you mental-masturbate by doing cross word puzzles everyday, to fulfill the Freudian void. F@#k Freud, I do what I want. Freaking coke addict.
