Andrew Bird - If I Needed You (Townes Van Zandt Cover)

This is for Noah, because he likes Andrew Bird. And for me because I love Townes. And I love Townes covers.

He thought he’d died and gone to Houston/By the time the dawn burned off the dew

Stream the Eater Liars album Phantom Limb for some awesome songwriting and great musicianship- for fans of Bon Iver's vocals, the Keys guitar distortion and Van Zandt lyrics.

Moving On

Moving on can be hard to do, but it’s an important step in all of our lives and like many things do, Straighten Up and Fly Right has moved on. I’ve merged my radio show with the great Lake Isle of Innesfree show that occupied the Thursday morning slot so that its DJay and I can offer the world a new show, rich with variety and intrigue. That show is The Bruised Orange, and it will be on air Friday nights from 8-10 Central time on KWUR radio. Here’s the link to the tumblr page for the new show so you can stay up to date with all the info! http://thebruisedorangeradio.tumblr.com/ I hope you’ll tune in and give change a chance. We’re not moving away, we’re moving up.

Christmas is the best time of year and what better carol to add to your mixtape than a John Prine jailbird love song?

and then this one for insight. And then quit wastin time and get a copy of Heartworn Highways.

Watch this one for context…
