More new music: Innovative, indie folkster Andrew Bird is back with Break it Yourself. It’s available for download today and if you buy tickets to his upcoming U.S. tour you get a copy of  the new album plus two live EPs. Not a bad deal.

Pat Ferrise grew up loving ”the punk rock” and “new wave.” His years at one of the nation’s top college radio stations ultimately led him to a 15-year run as music director of alternative music icon WHFS Washington/Baltimore. Rolling Stone magazine named him of the most influential programmers of the 90s. He’s recorded two albums under the moniker Trampoline for the now defunct SpinArt label. He lives in Baltimore and takes no credit for writing this bio.
