Sleight of Whistle

While no one was solving my latest Latent puzzle (why?? *!!*$#*&*@!) I spent an evening in Providence R.I. this past Thursday for an extraordinary night out with the girls. Andrew Bird in concert at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel. A pretty great venue with more bartenders and security police than I have seen in some time. I serve twice as many with no backup and no bouncer. Huh ...


Andrew sings, plays guitar, violin, xylophone, whistles ... rolls his eyes when need be. He's got a tonic voice, a flair for cunning lyric and a wicked mastery of non-posture. Maybe because he isn't that well-known ... yet. Plus the sleight of whistle. He whistles a lot actually. And I'm partial to the rolling of the eyes for some reason ... Yeah, well, I may roll my eyes sometimes ... only when it is imperative.


The guy is amazing. If you're not down with him yet you should check out my favorite cds of his Armchair Apocrypha and Andrew Bird & The Mysterious Production of Eggs. Or his myspace link where you can hear his music and get a taste of his gift: http://www.myspace.com/andrewbird

These photos I took don't really do him justice but ... sorry Andrew. There's always some tall girl with frizzed hair (usually blonde) in front of the 5'2" chicks.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.

There's some great AB footage on Youtube also.

Whistling in songs is usually a huge "no no", but he's so good at it that you end up making an exception.
