Wardicus Wednesday - #1

I’ve decided to revive an old tradition here on the blog and bring you weekly updates on what I’ve been listening to, what I should be listening to, and what I hear at parties.

And finally, a little anecdote. Yesterday, returning from class, I stopped off at the Whole Foods in the Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago. I only needed a few things: some soymilk, yoghurt, peanut butter, &c.. I was in the dairy section looking for yoghurt, but there was a man between myself and it. However, I was also between him and the milk that he needed. We met each other’s eyes, did that thing where one person steps out of the way, but the other moves too, and kind of shuffled around each other. It was awkward, but I got my yoghurt and Andrew Bird got his milk.

I don’t actually have the song I was going to share, but it’s Don’t Wait For the Needle To Drop by Dosh. It features Bird plucking some nasty beats. Hypemachine it or something.
