A night in the hospital with Babybird

Last night I went to the emergency room and was put on a drip to overcome dehydration and fatigue. I left the house with nothing to prepare me for it and found myself hooked up to a very cold iv wearing nothing but shorts and a t shirt and no book or anything to divert me. After a little while I remembered the I had my mp3 player in my bag and wheeled my iv stand over to where my things were to retrieve it. I spent the next few hours trying not to sing along as I waited for all the solution to w… Continue

Interview: Post your questions for Stephen here!

The Bad Pages is calling out: I've arranged for an (e-mail) interview with Stephen before the new single comes out in february. So I figured why don't we all make it a joint effort though this site? If you post your Babyird-related question(s) to the man here, I'll ship the best ones off to him by the end of January - and post the full interview on your favorite fan site soon after. The last Bad Pages interview was in 2008 when he released Death of the Neighbourhood.… Continue

Words, a dash of Jesus, and more words.

As fans of the great Stephen (and one incredible bastard who just happens to actually be Stephen), I assume many of you might share my strange fascination with, and twisted sense of humour about, a certain bearded religious figure with a penchant for spiky headwear. If so, I humbly ask that you take a moment to glance at my recent attempt at amateur literature located here.… Continue

Happy Birthday, Huw!

I am a middle school teacher here in the U.S. Each day, I put the date and the day's assignments in the top right-hand corner of my whiteboard. Underneath that, I put the name of a famous musician whose birthday is on that particular day. Imagine my surprise, then, to look at today's entry and find Huw Chadbourne's name! Happy birthday, Huw, from all of us in Babybirdland! Continue

"Like Them"

So, what does everyone think of "Like Them"? I think it's a great tune and, after I ran it through a software program to try to undo the horrendous audio clipping and compression, I like it even more! Continue

CHEERS PEOPLE

An Open Letter to Unison Music, from Ben Gott's Computer

Dear Unison Music, Hello. I am an iMac. No, I don't mean that I'm the "Mac guy" on those silly television adverts. I am an actual iMac. I belong to Ben Gott, a Babybird fan here in the United States, and, Unison Music, I kind of have a bone to pick with you. A few days ago, Ben received a Facebook message from his pal Andy. This message pointed him to a brand-new Babybird website and three brand-new songs. Now, since he first heard Ugly Beautiful in 1996, Ben has collected… Continue

In the Morning: The Songs of Babybird

Hi, everyone! In March of 2008, I spent a week in my home studio working on "In the Morning: The Songs of Babybird." It's a short, seven-song album on which I recorded some of my favorite Babybird tracks. Most of the songs were done "live" with no overdubs, but I also included a "full band" version of "Hatesong." If you'd like to download it (for free, of course), you can do so by cli… Continue
