HUfuckingZZAH, people!!


Ani is coming to Chicago in February with special guest: Andrew Bird!!!!

who's with me? Tix are on sale now


(Emily, weren't we just talking about this? I'm glad I checked...)

Also, any input as to which of Ani's old albums I shoud get would be great.
If you pre-order her new album now you get 20% off any of her other works. I already have Evolve, Educated Guess, Little Plastic Castle and Not a Pretty Girl. any thoughts?

mmm andrew bird. he's so good. last time I saw him, he opened for the magnetic fields. have you ever heard the magnetic fields?

[learning2fly.livejournal.com]

The Magnetic Fields rock! I was just introduced to them when I saw him with them, first in May of this year in New York then in June in Chicago. They are really fun. I can't listen to too many in a row though, the lead guy's nasaly voice gets to me. Have you heard the Pieces of April soundtrack? There's some really fun ones on there. My personal fave is Heather Heather.

You coming? It'll be fun and it's only 33 bucks!!

I'm not a big fan of Ani. she isn't bad, but I do really like Andrew Bird, so I don't know. maybe. we'll see.
yeah, the pieces of april soundtrack is amazing. the Mag. Fields have become one of my fav's in recent years. anyway, where's the show going to be?

I bet Andrew is going to have a release party/concert (solo) at the Old Town School of Folk Music like his last album.
Such a great venue (and probably where you saw him, right?)
That might be more to your taste.

And if he would hook up with his drummer Kevin O'Donnell and Quality Six for one last show I would be in freakin HEAVEN...

I saw the Quality Six at the hot house once with Jelly Eye and they were really good. I haven't seen them since, which stinks, cause they were really good. it was cool seeing andrew bird with the mag fields and yes, that was the last time I saw him. Old Town School is a really nice place to see music. I saw Smog there once, but it wasn't a full band, it was just the main guy in the band and it was seriously one of the most beautifully depressing shows ever. I think that was the only time I ever left a show thinking "that was amazing, I'm gonna go kill myself now."

ha. awesome.

I wish I lived in the area, the Old Town has TONS of really great shows coming up.
Did you know that Andrew teaches music there? I want to be a dork and learn the violin if I can get in his class...

[squelch84.livejournal.com]

yeah, I knew that at some point. actually, there's so many classes there that I want to take! especially drums. I've always wanted to be a drummer, but it never worked out. I need a drum kit something aweful! anyway, the drummer from the Poster Children teaches there too and I'd love to take lessons from him. I also want to take some song writting classes too... specifically for country and bluegrass. I've been wanting to start a country punk band for a really long time, but I can't quite nail the structure of country music. anyway, yeah, the old town is pretty awesome.
