I know one guy who's probably happy to be rid of that pesky Jonathan Meiberg character for a little while: Bill Callahan (fka Smog). In case you missed our recent interview with the Shearwater frontman/ornithologist, he describes a moment on the recent tour he shared will the former Smog-maker in which he "whacked Bill Callahan in the face" upon seeing a rare bird.

One hopes Callahan's tourmate for his forthcoming European trek, Alasdair Roberts, is a little less excitable, or, at least, practices a somewhat less dangerous hobby. Wait, he was in Appendix Out? Bill, please, don't opt for the amateur surgery. Also, don't look down!
