The Bird And The Bee F*cking Boyfriend The Bird and the Bee are singer/songwriter Inara George and musician Greg Kurstin . The two met during the making of George's solo debut album, All Rise in 2005 and have since been writing and recording together under the Bird and the Bee. Their first official recording, the four-song EP, Again and Again and Again and Again is an electronic-infused musical [...]
Just got back from Brickhouse, I really like that place. It is owned by the Red Cloud cigar place which has CAO's. I had some good tea finally, it is a rice green tea, it actually tasted not bad! I really like the picture above. It belongs to the second Thai band that has ever been on BBQCHICKENROBOT. The Band is called "Bear-Garden" but I particularly like what it says at the bottom; "Love is all Around." I think I like it because I hope that it's true . Anyways We got a good mix of 21 songs [...]
Inara George and Greg Kurstin, the duo that comprises The Bird and the Bee, did not know one another five years ago, and it was mere business that brought them together in the first place. Kurstin was to produce George's 2005 album All Rise, and it was in doing so that the two met [...]
Yes! The remix album of Architecture in Helsinki's In Case We Die , one of the best and bravest albums of recent years, is to get a limited release on Bar/None . You can only get it from a few retailers and online shops, such as Insound . Here's a remix by AIH producer Franc Tetaz: Wishbone (Franc Tetaz Remix) Also about the place these days are electronic jazzpop duo The Bird And The Bee . I won't tell you [...]
The Bird and The Bee es el nombre del dúo de Los Angeles formado por la cantante y compositora Inara George y el experimentado músico y productor californiano Greg Kurtsin (Lily Allen, Flamin' Lips, Peaches, Beck). El año que viene verá la luz su primer álbum pero mientras tanto debutan con un Ep de cuatro canciones llamado Again and Again and Again and Again. Aquí tienes el tema que da nombre
What works best about The Bird And The Bee's "F*cking Boyfriend"? Inara George's Imogen Heap-ish vocals seem unexpected. She should be cooing over her loving boyfriend, not cooing over her would be fucking boyfriend. So the Peaches remix should be easy, almost obvious. Not quite. This is the one remix that I want Peaches to drop her own vocals on top. Her dirty rap would sound brilliant muttering on and on about her fucking boyfriend. Instead she leaves Inara George's vocals and places them onto some very safe synth action. Everything about this remix is [...]
As usual, another very busy week ahead of us so we'll make this quick so you can get back to work on your busy Friday. Tonight, the Bird and the Bee begin their October residency at the Silverlake Lounge. Since her residency at the SLL six years ago with the amazing band Merrick, Ms. George has probably done more weekly residencies around town than any other band in Los Angeles music history so
Som en blandning av Annie och The Postal Service får amerikanska The Bird and the Bees popmelodier det att surra i huvudet långt efter att låten har tagit slut. Again and again and again and again... Bandet lovar att fullängdaren senast släpps i januari 2007 . Inte visste jag att det här med att spinna socker var ett så tidskrävande arbete!
This is shaping up to be a great weekend. The Dodgers are in town tomorrow night (and I get to go thanks to the kindness and generosity of Allison and Oliver), the LA Weekly Detour Festival and the Eagle Rock Music Festival are happening on Saturday too. Should be a great time, so might as well start your Friday off right. Go to El Cid tonight and see Bound Stems . I have really been enjoying their stuff and have heard only wonderful things about their live set. [...]
OK OK I totally realize how lame it is to post the same frickin post two days in a row without adding any new information. I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off this morning and havent had time to write an amazing MIND BLOWING Post. Hopefully this one will make you laugh, cry, and possibly skip over this site in your bloglines and go right to Good Hodgkins or something (great site BTW. You should read it). Here's a mixtape as penance. Hope you forgive my flagrant self-promotion. Come [...]
Los Angeles, CA The Bird And The Bee is Inara George and Greg Kurstin. It looks like these two are setting up residency on Friday nights at Silverlake Lounge in L.A. during the month of October. According to their webiste, the debut disc is coming out January 2007 (at the latest). "Because" The Bird And The Bee on MySpace
Yeah this whole "FREE MONDAY NIGHT" thing isn't getting out of hand..... ...LIKE AT ALL. Hell, If anyone has a problem with the words "FREE SHOW" or "NO COVER" bring 'em over to my my apt. I'LL SMACK THE FUCK OUTTA THEM. Overseas people expect to pay for everything. Free shows are nothing but ghost stories told around hipster camp fires. YOU LIVE IN LOS ANGELES - The greatest free-standing country in the world. Where else in the world are you going to have FREE options for your [...]
THE BIRD AND THE BEE [MP3] The Bird and The Bee - Fcking Boyfriend If you read this blog everyday, you should know by now that I LOOOOOOVE to cuss - Especially my F-Bombs. I have tried to cut back on the cussing (It's totally unbecoming of a lady) but DAMMIT YOU CAN'T TAKE AWAY MY FUCKING SWEAR WORDS. IT'S WHO I FUCKING AM!!! Sorry 'bout that. Ahem. without further adu I'd like to introduce
:::: mp3: The Bird And The Bee - I'm A Broken Heart per a few posts by both Loudersoft and TTIKTDA (welcome back), i have been delighted to discover what will soon be my latest obsession, The Bird And The Bee . what you hear is the voice of the lovely Inara George coupled with the aiding musicianship of Greg Kurstin, of whom i have not heard heretofore. it's absolutely lovely pop music, defined on terms of [...]
OK, I get a lot of shit from people for living on the eastside - Particularly for living in Echo Park. Echo Park/Silverlake is definately the "Hipster" area of Los Angeles. It is the promise land for the American Apparel short short wearing, ironic moustache touting, 20-something-on-a-bike-with-a- journal-in-the-front-basket, "I don't need a fucking job," defective youth of Los Angeles. Does the fact that I live here make me a fucking hipster? Residents of Williamsburg (Brooklyn) and Haight Ashbury (San Fran) I know you feel me. I actually got in a heated argument of my sushi lunch (YES, I am [...]
![The Bird And The Bee Are My Favorite Band Of The Year For The Rest Of The Year. I Am Sorry, [name of other band].](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/195243_lg.jpg)
The beautiful and sultry voice of Inara George and the pop nuanced musical stylings of Greg Kurstin are the components of my new favorite thing, The Bird And The Bee . A modern day Audrey Hepburn with the voice of an angel singing clever lyrics over a fiery combination of Jobim and Everything But The Girl, The Bird And The Bee are, in a word, it. Tracey Thorn, take notes please. Here's the two tracks Keith featured over at Teaching The Indie Kids To Dance Again , gussied up slightly and re-served. [...]
Finally, Teaching The Indie Kids To Dance Again has resurfaced after a rather lengthy hiatus & nobody is happier than I am. I did a lot of coercing and coaxing because we all wanted him back. Stop by his site and check out a couple of tracks from the phenomenal indie jazz pop phenomenon of The Bird And The Bee a duo from Los Angeles so gorgeous to hear you might think you're trapped in a clever '60s french spy thriller, or waiting for the arrival of your James Bond from fighting the bad [...]
