This interview with Andrew Bird at The A.V. Club has a lot of fascinating insights into Bird’s craft. If you haven’t heard Andrew Bird … he writes some of the most complex, beautiful pop songs out there. His concerts are amazing to watch because a number of songs involve him building up loops of the different parts, live.

His live show in Auckland last January was my highlight of the year, gig-wise.

I loved Mr Bird’s show last year, and was most excited to have him sign my copy of Armchair Apocrypha. He was very friendly 🙂
