STEVE BURNS, OR, THE "BLUE'S CLUES" GUY: Burns is known to parents everywhere as the guy who for five years hosted Nickelodeon's Blue's Clues and ran around with the puzzle-solving puppy humming The Skidoo Song. In his spare time, Burns was writing the very grown-up tunes featured on Songs For Dustmites, his excellent solo debut. Burns is joined by members of the Flaming Lips, which makes sense: the Lips are known for performing in plush animal costumes onstage. Stand-out tracks include opener Mighty Little Man, a bass-heavy space-agey rock epic, and the Bowiesque Troposphere.
