Look Around You and Andrew Bird
This weekend had much fun...I'd say Virgil and Jun's introducing me to Look Around You was great. Look Around You is a comedy program produced by the BBC that is unbelievably nerdy. I have Season 2 now, so if you wanna watch, let me know :) Here's two programs: "Music" and "Water". The other highlight was going to see the Andrew Bird concert with Kyrie. Andrew Bird is absolutely amazing. Ok, so he's a pretty good songwriter, violinst, guitarist, vocalist, whistler, and even dabbles in the xylophone. That makes him one in a million. But the fact that he can so seamlessly mix them all together ON THE SPOT makes him one of a kind. He can blend his voice with the violin or the xylophone accents his whistling in ways I've never seen before. AND he writes intelligent songs...I haven't heard another songwriter successfully use the words "sychophant" or "aldehyde." Add that all together, and I saw a mind-blowing show! I admit, I wasn't very impressed by his album beforehand, but I went to the show anyway cause I heard he was great live. He is. You HAVE to see him perform, if you ever have the chance!
