Me too, but they're chills of existential dread.

I don't listen to him much, but I saw him live and he blew my mind. Such an incredible musician.
I think this piece is a live-only number. Amazing to watch his charismatic performance.

Man, I saw him live, and it was like anti-charisma. Much prefer a couple of his records to his stage show. Especially that song "Heretics."

Lovelovelove. I own Noble Beast and I adore that album. It's gorgeous, and the man's a huge part of the reason I started whistling.

I do like his Dirk Diggler face about thirty seconds into that video, though.
post-script: seriously, someone gif that shit.

Anything really. Search him on YouTube.
Also look up Andrew Bird Bowl of Fire. That was around when he first started out and was playing a lot of swing tunes.. kind of like modern day Django Reinhardt.

Agreed. Caught him on his tour this year and he's got one hell of a band. Being a Lateduster fan as well, it's nice to see Martin on drums.
I don't say this often, but Mysterious Production of Eggs is brilliant.

I was freaking out that no one would mention this album. SOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOD. His guitar tone is so great. Perfect clangy semi-hollowbody sound.
Andrew Bird brings me back for sure.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and he was in Squirrel Nut Zippers. How is that not awesome?
