Something very important came out in Gothamist’s interview with Andrew Bird this week…
Whenever I’m going to do an interview I always scan the fan sites to see what people are obsessing over. In your case, there seems to be a lot of message-board curiosity about where you get your socks. There are entire threads about this, titled things like “Dude, where does Bird get his socks?!”, “I will ask him at the San Francisco show, if I can, directly after I ask him to marry me!” And “I don’t want him to think that I only love him for his socks.” So are they custom made or would you rather that remain a mystery?
Andrew: Sometimes people give them to me, which is nice. Who doesn’t need a new pair of socks? We’re actually working on making our own socks instead of T-shirts. But honestly the best socks I’ve ever found in the most colorful and interesting patterns are Paul Smith. They’re pricey but they’re pretty beautiful socks. But I mix it up, you know I wear Sock Monkey socks sometimes. Have you ever seen those Sock Monkey kits? They’re good socks! But onstage I have admit I do pay a little more attention to my sock wear.

The interview by John Del Signore also reveals Andrew’s thoughts on one small Brooklyn venue he visited recently…
We just played Union Hall and I thought that was a pretty great place. I just like how much work they put into those glass cases.
Below you’ll find a picture of Andrew’s socks from that very show….
