HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TODD STEED, whose work with such bands as Apelife, Smokin’ Dave and the Premo Dopes, and The Opposable Thumbs hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves. (Though he has been mentioned in the same sentence as Chet Atkins, the Everly Brothers, and R.B. Morris.)
Plus, is there a cooler name for a record label than “Disgraceland Records?”
