then spare a moment for the boy, who turns 8 today. And yes, this means his birthday is 9/9/99, which is very cool.
This is his favorite song, Seriously.

Bitchin' guitar break...
Oh...and obviously -- happy birthday!!!!!
You are a bad influence. BWFAGBD!
He's a great kid :) Hope he's having a fun and happy birthday :)
As a first time visitor may I also add wishes for a very happy birthday.
Is this the same Simels who was or maybe still is a music critic for several stereo gear mags from the '70's and '80's? If true, I always dug your critiques-even if I didn't agree with them (rare).
Kinda surprised tho' that I don't see Raspberries or Big Star on your fave band list. Good to see XTC!! Monsters one and all.
keep it up!
That's some birthday! I wonder if he'll develop a taste for the music of that U.K. punk band 999?

Yep -- I still write for the Magazine Formerly Known as Stereo Review.
Thanks for the kind words.
How did you wind up here?
Happy birthday to the kid!
IIRC, that day featured Jerry Stiller introducing Courtney Love on the MTV Video Music Awards by saying "I wanna see the Hole!"
So a good omen! And fine taste- one of my fave GBV songs, too.
Whoa. Rock on little dude.
