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. |
