Dr. Seuss would have turned 111 on March 2, 2015. Not coincidentally, one of his more obscure but nonetheless beloved characters celebrates the 45th anniversary of his birth this very same day. As the good doctor wrote about this uniquely Seussian character, “Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.”
Happy b-day, Dave. In your honor I'll make the family partake in the tequila lazy susan of death at dinner.
ReplyDeleteDave's a killer
ReplyDeleteDave's a mess
I forgot to post this on the Spoon post but Britt also helped record last year's Split Single album. He played bass but is not touring with them. The other members are Jason Narducy (bassist from Bob Mould Band, GBV and others) and Jon Wurster (Superchunck, Bob Mould Band, The Mountain Goats and others). It's got a few catchy indie pop songs and worth a listen. Start with Never Look Back, Fragmented World and My Eyes.
ReplyDeleteWith the recent mentions of Spoon and EX Hex, you fellas might want to check out a small little label that's been around for 25 years: Merge Records. They've put out a lot of good music that is varies from indie rock to country/folk to electronic.
We get a lot of mileage out of that photo.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Dave.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Dave.
ReplyDeleteWell played, Teej. I get that joke.
I played abortion Hears a Who for the first time for my 5 y/o. He didn't like it that much. I blame Jim Carrey.
Still employed.
Thank you, Autocorrect. Should be Horton Hears a Who.
ReplyDeleteTR--I was wondering how I missed that Seuss story about abortion!
ReplyDeleteAnd glad you're still employed
Wow, TR. Your auto correct mistake is very very close to the random idiots lyric
ReplyDeleteAbortion Hears a Who is the greatest children's book title in history . . .
