When Steve Burns left the popular
children's show "Blue's Clues," he traded blue dogs and anthropomorphic
furniture for Flaming Lips and dust mites. Burns, who performs at 10
p.m. Sunday at the Green Door, 329 E Sheridan, made his alternative rock
debut last year with "Songs for Dustmites," a grand concept album about
nanotechnology. Working with Lips drummer Steven Drozd and producer Dave
Fridmann, Burns took an ambitious leap with songs such as "Troposphere"
and "Mighty Little Man," and his live show is a thoroughly engaging
multimedia experience.
For unsuspecting parents thinking of
taking their little "Blue's Clues" fans, remember these phrases: "10
p.m. on a school night," "loud alternative rock" and "Green Door." For
