“Fire of Birds” (Live in Atlanta - 11/6/10) | DM Stith
This is a recording of the very first song and performance I had ever heard (or seen) of DM Stith, at the show in Atlanta last year. I had absolutely no idea who he was or what he was going to sound like. I remember very well that there was a certain point during this song that I felt something in my stomach that I rarely ever get from new (though I suppose he wasn’t “new” at that point anymore) artists, much less from the very first time experiencing their music. I’m not sure how to describe this feeling I had, but it was a good feeling. The kind that you risk flooring yourself if you let it take over you.
I believe it gave me a slight chill as well, but I might be embellishing a bit there. Or perhaps it was due to the cold weather.
If you want, you can download his whole set (four songs) from this show here.
When I saw Sufjan, DM opened for him, and I remember that this was the first song he played. I grabbed a pen from my purse and wrote his name on my hand so I wouldn’t forget. His voice is so different in person, and it’s so cool to listen to him just play a guitar and sing.
1. Parks & Recreation
2. 30 Rock
3. Supernatural
4. Whitest Kids U Know
5. Big Bang Theory
1) Who is your favourite character in 2?
Liz Lemon. She’s smart, independent, and wants to have it all! I can identify with her.
2) Who is your least favourite character in 1?
I really like most of them, but if I had to pick a least favorite it would be jerry (OBVS).
3) What’s your favourite episode of 4?
Oh my God, how can I pick one? Probably the one with the guy farting at dinner.
“Someone call a fart doctor!”
4) What is your favourite season of 5?
They’re all really good, but I watched season three with my roommate my first year of college, and I loved that.
5) What’s your favourite relationship in 2?
Liz and Floyd! They were perfect for each other.
6) Who is your anti-ship in 2?
Liz and Jack. I think they would be a terrible romantic couple.
7) How long have you watched 1?
I started watching last year, during the third season, and I loved it.
8) What is your favorite character in 4?
Trevor pretty consistently is hilarious, but I also love Zach and Sam.
10) Which show do you prefer out of 1, 2, or 5?
Agh! Terrible question. Probable 1 though, it’s so hilarious and I love Leslie.
11) Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3?
Probably 3, just because there are more episodes.
12) If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be?
Timmy! He’s adorable!
13) How would you kill off your favorite character in 2?
Oh man, I’d probably have Liz Lemon die of Sabor De Solodad intake.
14) Give a random quote from 1
“When those kids call me coach, that’s when I know…that I agreed to be a coach.”
-Andy Dwyre
15) Would a 3/4 crossover work?
It would be SO funny, but it will never happen.
16) Pair two characters in 1 that would make an unlikely, but strangely okay couple.
Leslie and Ron. For sure.
17) Overall, which show has a better cast, 3 or 5?
Oh man, I don’t know. Probably 3 though.
18) Which has better theme music, 2 or 4?
I find myself singing the WKUK theme sometimes, so probably that.
