Poll hp I want to see Andrew Bird play at the Hollywood bowl! ;__; Via
halfway2home, who actually did get to do that, an
LA Times review:
Andrew Bird, a Chicago-based singer-songwriter who played as the sun set, offered a performance that made even the Decemberists look pedestrian.
Performing shoeless before a spinning sculpture of a gramophone, the lanky, violin-playing Bird offered an unlikely pastiche of Appalachian folk, John Zorn and Sergio Leone.
"Sometimes playing for this many people," Bird said, right before a world-class twitch, "gives you more energy than you can possibly manage."
:D *FLAIL*
Oh, damn. Pete Doherty's Acousticalullaby set hits my plaintive-acoustic-rock kink so very hard. Nggggghhhhh. So good.

Woo! I got my Ivy League EP today. All plaintive acoustic rock all the time! \m/
I have all my graduation crap this week, so I'll be travelling across the country and pretending to be a grown up (etc.) and thus probably absent from the World Of the Internet.
