Andrew Bird on QTV

[LieutenantSarcasm26]

Ugh he's so freaking adorable lol.

[cherryberry360]

I think it was a great interview! He seems genuinely very nice and you can tell that he just lives and breathes music. I think it's amazing how well he understands it, he doesn't need to have notes in front of him or compose on paper or anything, he just gets it. Very cool guy!

[selainestarr]

The best collaboration would be with Andrew Bird and Regina Spektor..... they both sound different yet... not... idk.. I love them

[trufiend138]

for as introverted as he is the interviewer did a good job..several times i wanted to hit stop...

[happylion23]

I love Andrew Bird's voice. I could listen to him talk forever about anything.

[yellowpatchrocket]

Thats anazing how brave he is to turn away from a up and coming band and try to do it on his own. Nothing but Respect Mr. Bird.

[r92cab]

they looked pissed of already.......i'm pissed off

[theallegory]

ehh, the interviewer isn't bad but he should check his facts regarding where Andrew went to school. Weslyan is very different from Illinoise Weslyan...

[bigcyhutch]

this interviewer is so annoying - talks too much - and tries to sound clever. yet ends up being a douche. how did he get this gig. ick.

[guyyute]

@bigcyhutch I disagree and think he does a fine job.

[bigcyhutch]

@guyyute yay for you.

[etherealempress]

he's adorable. he's got a real darkness to him, though.

[nihilistichick]

haaha jeremy doesnt look too happy.

[sociopatainofensiva]

mmmm algun dia sabre q dicen algun dia.....

[eloquentlight]

I think Mr. Bird can't help but sound a bit over our heads, as he really does work (musically) on a very different level than most people. His drive for musical perfection combined with his amazing talent makes him something very different from the rank and file of musicians. Not to detract from other musicians, though. He just seems to stand on his own musically.

He seems to be a bit out of sorts - personally he seems to be pretty shy and reserved.

[fluxapocolypse]

yeah, the interviewer kind of stinks.

[bigcyhutch]

love andrew bird...the interviewer is a tad annoying and typical.

[LILTRUCKER123]

Typical?!! This is one of the more well-versed and calculated interviewers I've ever seen. He's very atypical to me.

[kaylashalaylaaaaa]

i love him.

[aha45]

That guy is a good interviewer

[EmptyNutShells]

agreed.. i dont know why people hate on him lol

[demonomaniacooo]

I saw him in mexico and he was so awesome he also played a song in spanish "besame mucho" he's great :)

[johngears11]

Ma sis saw 'im in Atlanta.

[mytoecold]

gawd that guitar player is creepy. went to a show he didn't smile the whole time.

[generalmistake]

what! are you kidding? when I saw him he smiled at me several times and seemed very happy

[TheNamingOfThings]

Jeremy Ylvisaker actually has a really great sense of humor and is a brilliant musician. Maybe you caught him on a bad night? You should check out the Fitz and Dizzyspells video - he's wearing a knitted unicorn sweater. He's quite a card.

[Googolagahummike]

Jeremy rocks! You should see him as "Evelyn Llewellyn" interviewing Andrew. It's basically a mock interview with Jeremy acting like a complete nutball, asking him to "compare the spiders ability to make a web with the snakes ability to not make a web", etc. Just Google "Touché with Andrew Bird". It's not on YouTube, but Pitchfork media has it... It's some really funny stuff!

[TheChickDrummer]

@Googolagahummike "I would describe you as the white Tom Sawyer!"

[zakuras3]

@Googolagahummike Thank you for this. I couldn't stop laughing!!

[nadiaboo1]

Weirdooooo's gawd...NEXT!!!!!

[nadiaboo1]

America is that way. Full of themselve's.

[1233452432]

wow this guy is a real artiste, he's so into himself.

[dancetoska]

into himself? He's being asked questions about himself.

[1233452432]

you don't get it, he's an out of touch phoney who loves himself. It's all affectation and phoneyness.

[dancetoska]

oh, I thought you were talking about Andrew Bird. Sorry...

[1233452432]

I was talking about Andrew Bird

[nadiaboo1]

I agree in a way, but I digress.

[sirhenry1234]

are you talking about andrew bird? if so, you are so so so so wrong

[aha45]

I would normally agree with you, but Andrew Bird doesn't strike me as pretentious. His music is so good... it seems like what pretentious music TRIES to do. He looks a little full of himself, but I give him a free pass because of the music.

And I have to agree with that other comment... he's being interviewed about himself and his music making methods.

[MikeI3low]

Jian I assume, the interviewer is who i was asking about.

[OneWorldOneLife]

Jian graduated from York University with a degree in political science and history. He has written opinion pieces in newspapers. Jian has worked in tv and radio. And he is also a musician (band: Moxy Fruvous). He does a lot of different things. :)

[awhitestripe]

HAHAHAHAHA JEREMY YLVISAKER... you kook.

[MikeI3low]

This guy gives a mean interview....what is his background as an intellectual?

[OneWorldOneLife]

Which one? Jian or Andrew?

[coozno1977]

Whats up with the scarfs?

[OneWorldOneLife]

lol. maybe Americans are always cold in Canada. :)

[coozno1977]

LOL!

[JohnCena2011]

Andrew is just like me, aside from his first name. I play music through ear mostly. I can read, but I learn and play better by ear. I play drums btw.

[JohnCena2011]

When I was 7, Andrew Bird did a live show at my school. I had no clue who he was until a couple years ago, when I started actually listening to him.

[JohnCena2011]

lol Jeremy llysacker looks pissed in the beginning.

[Toose01]

Thrills!

One of my all time favorite albums.

[6663000]

Wasn't he on Conan O'Brien last night?

[TheNamingOfThings]

This was a fantastic interview. A thorough and intellectual Q&A.

[Silverismine]

I know, this interviewer is pretty kick-ass.
