The Amazingly Incredible Antics of Andrew Bird

The irresistible Andrew Bird was on Austin City Limits last week with a short set, unfortunately. But the four songs he played that were televised were fascinating.

In a post-set interview he says that if something "dangerous" doesn't happen during the show, he feels like he did something wrong.

Here's an great video for the song, "Fake Palindromes," from The Mysterious Production of Eggs:
