I went in where the makeup girl came through, I waited there for ages, I waited there for you

Hello dear world, and welcome to another beautiful October evening, here on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. I've got quite a post in store for you today, whoever you may be, and it will include the following; the  new Andrew Bird album, some completely random youtube videos (which I think I should make a weekly feature?), and part two of the oh-so good Official Autumn Mixtape. So, scroll the page down, and continue reading this week's edition of Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice.

Andrew Bird, My Heart Belongs To You

If you're a human being, or a reader of this blog (hopefully, you're both), then you are completely aware of my ... obsession, of sorts, with a mister Andrew Bird. It all started when, let's see, The Mysterious Production of Eggs came out, in whatever year it came out. After hearing the opening lines of Sovay, I knew it was love at first listen.

So, it is time again for Andrew, or Mr.Bird as I'd prefer to call him, to release a new album after the success of last year's fantastic Armchair Apocrypha. Anyways, the new album will be called Noble Beast, and it'll drop January 27th (coincidentally, this is also the date I will be at Dr.Disc purchasing it). From what I've heard of this album, a good portion, I may add, it is pretty spectacular. 

I'll leave you, the dedicated reader, with a track from the new album, entitled "Oh No". Also, if you're wondering whether Mr.Andrew "Whistlin'" Bird delivered the goods on the whistling front on this song ... well, we'll just say he did. Take a listen and see what you think.


Here's the fantastic track list for Noble Beast;

1 Oh No
2 Masterswarm
3 Fitz and Dizzyspells
4 Effigy
5 Tenuousness
6 Nomenclature
7 Not a Robot, But a Ghost
8 Anonanimal
9 Natural Disaster
10 Confess
11 Souverian
12 On Ho!

And now, a NEW feature!

As all of you should know by now, I'm pretty notorious for adding/taking away multitudes of fun little features on this here blog. This occasion is no different. Lately, I've been getting the urge to post random videos from YouTube on here, just because I've found them very interesting (if you look backwards, you can see that I sometimes act on these impulses). Therefore, I think it's only appropriate to do this every week. So, for the first time in history, I'd like to preset to you, the people, an Official Looks Like Coffee Tastes Like Juice Feature: Random YouTube Videos. The link brings you straight to the page.





and finally ...


That wasn't so bad, now, was it?

4. Dust Flowers - Norman Nehmetallah [this is just a really rough demo that I recorded about 7 months ago, as an idea for a song]

That's all for this week, expect parts 3 to 1999994432544 soon.
