Part of the problem is that Andrew Bird uses big words that most people don't recognize. I have to confess that he's the ONLY artist I've ever listened to that can work the word "onomotopaea" into a lyric. Doesn't excuse his eclecticism, but maybe it justifies it a little bit. I love Andrew Bird, because I can't just throw one of his CDs on the player and go about my business with his music as background noise. He seems to demand more from me than that, so I save him for times when I'm adding a chapter to a story or trying like hell to figure out where my life is going. Love him or hate him - he is not ignoreable. *shrugs*
I appreciate Andrew. BTW, Todd Rundgren has a song titled Onomatopoeia. It appears on Hermit of Mink Hollow.

Methinks Florence and Andrew co-write on occasion.
Is this song about Miley Cyrus? (No; written eight years ago when Ms. Cyrus was, like, 6 years old or something.)

I believe that album cover was done by Jay Ryan, a very talented designer and print-maker out of the Chicago area. Good tune, by the way.
Fake palindromes always sound like that. Like someone mimicking Mandarin. Great cover art, agreed.

Part of the problem is that too many people didn't read enough in high school and beyond.
