Hello Fellow Readers,
It has been about a month since my last post, for that, I apologize and beg thy forgiveness, no, the latter is pure bollocks. Ha!
And now for some breaking news... No, not really breaking news, but new information concerning Biirdie.
About a month ago, we, here at Pop! Music received an e-mail with information on how to provide you, the reader, with Nic Harcourt's Morning Become Eclectic podcast, in which Biirdie was featured. And though it is not breaking news, or THAT new, I am going to link you guys to where you can access the podcast or the video of them playing in Morning Becomes Eclectic, so that you can hear more of Biirdie's new album, Catherine Avenue, which came out January 22nd.
I have just checked out their website, and no new upcoming shows have been posted. You can always check their website Biirdie. If you want to buy Biirdie's album, Catherine Avenue, you should check out their myspace.
To make this update a REAL update, I have decided to add the Biirdie line up, because I just found out what it was from the albums liner notes. Here it goes:
Jared Flamm
Richard Gowen
and Kala Savage
with: Patrick Cleary
Bram Inscore
Jon Leahy
Rusty Logsdon
"Jelly" Joe Mackenzie
Wil Masisak
Bob Maynard
Oscar Schedin
Josh Schwartz
Tom Wolfe
T-Radd
and John Wood.
This is all I have for you, stay tuned for my upcoming, full version review of a gig I attended two weeks ago. I will let you know of a funny anecdote, and I will tell you why you should like Jason Hill as much as I do.
I am out, and I hope you have a good, mellow Sunday!
-C.S.H.

Biirdie: LA Is Mars
I am back and more alive than ever. My brain cells are gone, my ideals are dead, and I am back from the short sabbatical that I took from writing on this virtual territory. Hope your holiday break was decent, whether it was short or long. Okay. Let's see...
On this month, in this specific year, I have become a year older; unfortunately, this means nothing to me, other than I no longer am a "teenager"; whatever the hell that means.
On previous posts of our blog I kept myself from using any curse words, but I've decided that these curse words add something to this bloody thing, so, I will not deprive myself from doing what is natural. Ha! If you are offended, I cannot apologize for as Dr. Seuss said: "Be who you are and say what you want, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." Hahahaha.
I now want to tell you about a new band that I just listened to a few hours ago. This band comes from Glendale, California. A city very close to my hometown, and actually, the city that contains the Galleria where I always buy my clothes, and where I bought for my birthday a very cube-ish Hello Kitty clock.
The band is: Biirdie. The lineup consists of: Jared Flamm (vocalist), Tom Wolfe (not the writer/journalist), Kala Savage, Richard Gowen, James Williams, Oscar, Joe McKenzie, and DJ Fish. Long lineup, I've no idea what any of these people do for the band, other than that they make up the band, according to Nic Harcourt from KCRW'S MORNING BECOMES ECLECTIC.
Biirdie is spelled with two "i's" because there is another artist with "Birdie" in its name, or so I was told by Nic Harcourt.
The band has two websites, you can check them out at Biirdie or at Biirdie's Myspace.
If I were to compare them with any other bands, I would say that they are a fusion of Death Cab for Cutie, The Shins and a hint of The Postal Service. They themselves specify the genres in which they fall into as: Healing & EasyListening / Electroacoustic / Western Swing.
Biirdie has just come out with their newest LP "Catherine Avenue," which was released January 22nd. Their single right now is "LA Is Mars."
If you like Biirdie, and would like to see them live, here is a list of current dates that have been posted on their myspace page, for more information check out their websites:

I found a 2005 performance video of Biirdie--too outdated-- so, instead I will be using a link from Spin Magazine of a new song from Biirdie: " LA Is Mars. "
