I've spent the morning watching the inauguration, and digesting the new Andrew Bird record, Noble Beast.  After reading his Measure for Measure blog and catching a recent performance at Largo in LA, I've been greatly anticipating this release.  Also debuting on this historic day is Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavillion. 

You can hear both records in full, along with new ones from M. Ward and The Boss, for free over at NPR.
