Chat with Andrew Bird

Photobucket


The release of Mr. Bird's new album Noble Beast is just two weeks away, and we here at Gapers Block are pumped. In the meantime, NPR is giving you the chance to pick some Bird brain. Andrew will be signing in for a guest chat today at 1 p.m. to answer questions about his new album. You can join in on the fun here.

And if you can't wait until the 20th to hear Noble Beast, NPR will also be streaming the album all this week, and you can pre-order it over at Fat Possum's website. A deluxe edition of the album will be available, which will include Useless Creatures, an instrumental companion to Noble Beast, which is currently streaming here.

All over Chicago, businesses large and small find interns knocking on their door - students, career-changers, hobbyists, and more. Transmission sits down to talk to some of them about where they're coming from, where they want to go, and what fun manual labor they've performed along on the way.
