Whistle While You Podcast
Today's contrast podcast theme is "Songs with whistling in them." You can listen to and/or download it right here.
I'm not in it this week. Not because I couldn't come up with a whistling song but because I didn't want to pick what I thought might be an obvious one. See, the only ones I could think of were by Andrew Bird and since I figured he represents about 50% of all songs with whistling in them, I decided not to contribute. Crazy, I know. (Some might even say nuts!) And of course I'm sure I'll be proved wrong once I take a listen to the podcast.
Anyway, this is one of my favorite Andrew Bird songs and I think it demonstrates his whistling talents nicely. His new album, Noble Beast, comes out January 27th, 2009. It will be a must-have, I'm certain.

Next week's theme is the first in a series having to do with the human body and it will start with "The heart." Also, don't forget to get your list of the top-fifty songs of the year in to Tim by Nov. 16th. Send them to: contrast.podcast@gmail.com with your number one song at spot #1.
I couldn't think of any either! That's two weeks in a row I haven't been in
it...I'm having withdrawals. I'm sure I can rustle up something for next
week though - there are probably too many options actually.
too many options presents a whole other problem--makes it even harder to
choose! i'd better start working on it now. : )
I liked James' take on the whistle, and he was the only one who thought of
it!
I had the same problem, mjrc, although part of my issue is lack of energy!
Any Andrew Bird song would do. And in that case, how do you choose?
I found a sweet little remix of this song awhile back, sounds pretty much
the same at the start, but then there is some beat boxing thrown in. Yeah
sounds bizarre, but it's actually a cool song. It's a French group called
Polaroid.

nat--i liked his take, too, because i hadn't thought of it either. i sure
felt dumb, tho, after hearing all those songs and not a one being andrew
bird!
The only ones I thought of were this one or some other Andrew Bird song,
and the old Lovin' Spoonful, "What a Day for a Daydream," so I felt
uninspired. On the other hand, I have too many choices for the next
podcast. I've got it narrowed down to four at this point.
