Andrew Bird on the Way

This morning I am listening to Andrew Bird in anticipation of his upcoming show at the Cains. This guy amazes me. Anonanimal is an incredible song. This guy exemplifies why I like music. These compositions sound like the poems I try, or used to try, to write. I like it because it seems like it shouldn't make sense or work, but it makes perfect sense and works very well. It is a tempered bliss that doesn't require more of the listener than merely listening but does reward efforts beyond just listening. This is the good stuff.
