    Anybody who walks into a record store and makes a beeline to the Lester Young stacks gets HEAVY POINTS in my book. New Fan right here, Mr. Bird.

      It's kinda shocking what he listens to, because its not even close to sounding like Bird's music. I really respect that, takes a huge variety of inspiration and doesn't copy it. Almost all of it is by black musicians, too, while Bird was a classically trained Suzuki Method violin player from the age of 4.

    I've never heard of this artist, but he must be amazing, because he has awesome musical taste.

    • @TheGrumbliestPuppy
      @TheGrumbliestPuppy Před 2 lety +4

      He is, but just a warning, his music doesn't sound anything like the artists he loves. Totally different style, which is weird and cool that he reaches so far out of his comfort zone. If you need a starting point, my favorite album of his is "Mysterious Production of Eggs".

      Andrew Bird is the GOAT. I beeline for his section whenever I shop for records so I found this video amusing.

  • @neilbopperson4801
    @neilbopperson4801 Před 6 lety +29

    BEST, ONE YET!
    Andrew Bird is one of my favourite recording artists. The fact that he mentioned Analog Africa & Soundway, two labels I've loved for a along time but wouldn't have figured would have been on Andrew's radar blew my mind!
    That Paul Simon thing at the end sounds like a joint too.
    Big ups The Bird & big ups Ameoba.

    I've never been so captivated by a video despite understanding quite literally none of what is being said I know nothing about music and clicked because I love Andrew Bird but he could talk music jargon at me for hours his voice is so soothing and his passion for his craft is so touching

    Hey! I was at the Bluegrass Underground show he referenced. I am a big Bird fan, and I am surprised most of the music he mentioned. Interesting to see his tastes is very different from what he plays. Great musician. And for those who do not care for his style, experience him live. He is a talented fellow.

    I love these because you can really hear how all these different music influences the musician's style and music. Andrew Bird is probably my top two artists next to Tori Amos. Love the way his mind works musically. I'd love to hear one of these from Tori Amos or Portugal The man. They have had some great in-depth interviews as far as music and id love a little more as far as the music they personally gravitate toward.

      We've done episodes at all three stores, but the majority of our resources and crew are in our LA store. We continue to do episodes at the SF store and sometimes at the Berkeley store, but just less frequently. Next week we have a new episode from the SF store featuring Anton Newcombe of The Brian Jonestown Massacre.

    • @amoeba
      @amoeba  Před 7 lety +2

      That's true. I think what he's referring to is that the three albums from '71-'73 (Mwandishi, Crossings, and Sextant) are sometimes referred to as the "Mwandishi Albums" as they had the same personnel and were all mining similar territory.

    This is totally fake I was in the store while he walked around and he didn't bee line it to Lester Young. The first record I saw him actually pick up was Ratt "Out Of The Cellar"! I lost him for awhile but I'm pretty sure he was ogling lots of modern radio pop. Lastly he seemed transfixed by a Samantha Fox single. Is this guy a product of the 80's? Stop trying to act all cultured Andrew we know you're digging on the Peasant music too!
