Actual Birds & The High Spirits at Sarah and Lacey's house, Ann Arbor, MAXIMUM SUMMER 2006



Actual Birds is my nom de plume/art/musique; my real name is Dustin Krcatovich. I'm just trying to save you the embarrassment of pronouncing my last name wrong (oh, you will), and me the relatively minor, but substantial, irritation of same.
As of this writing, I have released two full-length albums under this moniker, as well as a handful of EPs, cassettes, reel-to-reel tapes, motivational posters, trading cards, comics, etc. On several past musical projects, I have collaborated closely with Fred Thomas (Saturday Looks Good To Me/ Flashpapr/Fred Thomas). I also play in the bands Forever Stoked, Actual Birds & The High Spirits, Brain Shake, and Lovebirds.



MY TEN FAVORITE SONGS AS OF THIS WRITING (not entirely in order) ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1. "C'Mon Marianne" by The Four Seasons
2, "I Think We're Alone Now" by Tommy James & The Shondells
3. "Carnival" by Bikini Kill
4. "He's A Whore" by Cheap Trick
5. "No Date" by Viki
6. "Frontin" by Pharrell
Lucky Number 7. "Tell Him" by The Exciters
8. TIE: "When The Party Ends" by Saturday Looks Good To Me/"Holland Tunnel" by Fred Thomas
9. "Stabbed In The Face" by Wolf Eyes
10. "Oh! Love Of Life" by Albert Ayler


MY TWO FAVORITE FOODS:
1. Muffins
2. Burritos

Cristelle says:
