Just heard about this via pitchfork and a few other blogs...

gave it a listen, pretty cool

-remixes, some new stuff, and some patchwork it seems

any thoughts?

cant wait for a new full length.

Just got my hands on this. It sounds excellent, like most of Bird's stuff. The remixes are fine, but the new stuff is especially good. Maybe we can expect a new album in '08. It's already shaping up to be a great year.

the first song, "The Trees Were Mistaken," is incredible! That guy never misses!

I especially enjoy the early version of "Heretics". It's also the best song off of Armchairs. It deserves a good back-porch plucking.

Speaking of Andrew Bird he recently started a New York Times blog about song writing.

The best thing I got from that is Andrew's making a new album. Woohoo!
