Make the old man's day with some colorful words. Let it fly. In our comments section. Get it going.Happy 67th, Dad. Here's to the next 67! The entire DDC Factory Floor salutes you!- - - -EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW:Son: "About time you called back."Dad: "I just got my egg roll. Can't talk now.

Some kick-ass stuff in there. Like this! Arian wrote in to show me his work. Here's what he had to say: "I am currently studying Biology at UC Davis. In between classes, however, I do personal and commissioned visual design work. I have always found parallels between art and the sciences so a lot of my studies find their way into my artwork."We can get behind that. Hell yes. Biology + Design + Pure Awesome = Arian Behzadi.Good luck, man!- - - -ON THE PLAYER:01. Son House - Father of the Delta Blues02. The Soft Pack - 12" EP 03. Cash Money - Halos Of Smoke And Fire
