Cant believe this video is still up, I remember watching this in 2012 when I was in middle school, it's one of the first songs that made me want to play guitar. I remember my dad has an epiphone that looked really similar to the one he's using. To this day I still play guitar!

What I love about this video is the fact that Andrew Bird just walks through Montmartre with a natural ease, as if he is part of the 18th Arrondissement. People don't see to notice him, and those who do, look at him like there are seeing a ghost. Yes, in my opinion that is the beauty of this video.

I discovered him thru Ani Difranco and then saw him live at her last concert in Paris (Trabendo 2005)! The way he whistles here is how he loves to play violin as well, with his fluorescent arch! lol He's great! And great video as well! J'ai découvert la Blogothèque la semaine dernière et qq chose me dit que j'y trouverai des vidéos de qualité! Grand merci! Cheers!

Love this video and the whole la blogotheque project. Andrew Bird is great. Yes I would follow him and clap and gawk if I saw him walking around my town but not everybody knows this guy. There are plenty of talented street performers out there who aren't given the time of day and here Andrew Bird is no different. I think that kind of atmosphere, the one with no screaming fans, is what la blogo is going for.

Have you ever noticed whistle stealers are everywhere? If you whistle in any crowd at any time, someone else will compulsively start whistling. Thing is tho- where you may be whistling a song or tune, they will whistle pure atonal gibberish, just to be whistling, thereby stealing and ruining your whistle. Here's the rub. If you stop... they too will stop. If you start again... they too will start again. It's a real thing. I'm not making this up. I whistle often and when people start whistle stealing I call their lame asses out.

C'mon folks! This wasn't an MTV video recording! Andrew Bird does his art in life, not all cleaned up; refined and integrated. The honk was just life; "who the hell are you in my way?!" And like the consummate artist that he is, Andrew Bird took it in stride. Akin to Miles Davis just integrating what is happening now in a jam session_ reality is inspiration! Take it easy on yourself here.
