Andrew Bird...On Dope? Your Thoughts?

[Eric!]

So, I kinda like these Andrew Bird and Martin Dosh folks. I just wonder...are they ON something?!

Here's a sample of some tunes:

Never seen that stuff with Martin Dosh, but Andrew Bird is the shit. I should've seen him when he was in town.

Andrew Bird and The Mysterious Production of Eggs is a fucking classic album, he's a virtuoso whistler, and he was in Squirrel Nut Zippers

Seriously, this song just makes me say "Fuck yeah" it's so perfect when blowing reefer sticks.

Yepp. Though when I saw them live last fall they just seemed super into it/not high.

Drummer brings the party....that wouldn't surprise me. Dosh is fucking GOOD.

Is is ok if I don't really get this or care for it? It's just too damn happy.

Nah, I get it. I can't do it some days. But most days, I can't stop listening.

Not so happy

and yes he IS looping all of that himself (anything that isn't drums). Andrew Bird is a god. And I fucking love his guitar tone. Just a little nasty, but chimey and biting.

For the record I voted weed and other only because I couldn't vote for all of them.

I looooooooove the assumption by current feeble-minded musicians/laymen that if someone is doing something that eclipses basic and vacuous modern art or the limits of their own imagination that the obvious answer is DRUGS.

Most of these same musicians/laymen have never done anything worth a shit themselves.

Come on now! We all know that most musicians are high. I'm high all the time on crack and gasoline and I even shot some angel dust in my ball sack from time to time.

To be fair to Eric! though, a lot of bands actually do drugs. So the assumption is valid IMO.

[Eric!]

Andrew Bird is a very smart man and musician, and I meant it as no disrespect to him, nor attempted to take anything away from his musical prowess. He and Martin Dosh are truly inspiring, as artists.

Whatever bug crawled up your butt needs to die. I'm just as valid a musician as someone that gets paid to put out their own music, not just some feeble-minded layman. All you had to do was say "none of the above" and be done with it. But you just had to take those jabs, huh? Do you feel better about yourself now?

[CBA]

There is no feeling better about myself than I already feel.

And musical validation has nothing to do with money. It's all self.

You asked for my thoughts, so I gave them to you. Take from it what you will.

[D.o.S.]

No, if he was on drugs their music would be way better.

urrrrrr..... what? if you're talking about Eric there, eat a dick. in fact, if it's Eric you're trying to put down eat a whole bowl of dicks. here's a spoon. i'd rather listen to Eric's jams then like 90% of "professional" music. which is the only way i can see taking that layman bullshit.

if you're not talking about him, do you honestly believe that most musicians don't partake of some drugs? and of course it averages out where more of the interesting music is gonna come from people that get high at least occasionally?

you're an odd one chief.

[Jwar]

Yea and also FUCK YOU!

[behndy]

fuck. EVERYBODY.

rarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
