On this day - hello, happy Wednesday - Hey Charlie! founder, loving chum, Go-Betweens fan, teacup specialist, devoted soul gardener and official Greatest Person Ever, Bianca Ferguson, celebrates her birthday. i hear it's ungentlemanly to reveal a lady's age (and if there's one lady i'd want to be gentlemanly to, it's her) but rest assured she's yet to reach even halfway to Loudon Wainwright III levels when he wrote this:
Loudon Wainwright III - The Birthday Present
i realise that in terms of birthday-related tracks Teenage Kicks is already a step ahead of us this week, and i appreciate that my lover isn't really a big fan of The Sugarcubes anyway, but it's blogging tradition and i'm willing to accept that not all traditions are bad. Plus i reckon this is a pretty neat demo, probably surpassing the single itself, if shoehorning an indier-than-thou statement of approval into proceedings is acceptable at this juncture of course.
The Sugarcubes - Birthday (demo version)
But anyway. All it leaves me to say, hoping that any other readers we have don't find their breakfast revisiting them, and yet in the sincerest most affectionate way:
Happy birthday Bee. You are fabulous and i love you.

I myself was born with hair. Not teeth, but a great shock of dark hair.
I love you.
Thanks for the heads up and the birthday wishes, thomas and bianca, but where did you get this? This is the way I originally heard it...in Icelandic. Fabulous sounds that make me glad I studied Korean instead. Happy birthday too!
