Smoosh is a band of three sisters, all born after Bill Clinton was first elected president, Michael Jordan was in his prime, and Nirvana released its ground-breaking album Nevermind. Asya, 16, plays
the keyboards, sings lead, writes the lyrics. Chloe, 14, plays the drums and also sings. They arrange the songs together. Maia, 11, just joined the band last summer as the bass player. They've opened
for Pearl Jam, Death Cab for Cutie, and Sleater-Kinney. Yes, they're young, but focus on that and you'll miss the point. They're really good. Smoosh came to the BPP offices to play two new,
unrecorded songs, "Great Skies" and "Dark Shine." Enjoy.

Daniel Kopulos is a lifelong naturalist who is sick of the way pet shops do business. His new store, Uptown Birds in Manhattan sells exotic birds only to the people who can withstand his exhaustive
review process. Because these birds can live for 60 and sometimes 80 years, they aren't the right fit for the casual hobbyist. Birds make for complex pets, and in the right situation can make for

Daniel Kopulos is a lifelong naturalist who is sick of the way pet shops do business. His new store, Uptown Birds in Manhattan sells exotic birds only to the people who can withstand his exhaustive
review process. Because these birds can live for 60 and sometimes 80 years, they aren't the right fit for the casual hobbyist. Birds make for complex pets, and in the right situation can make for
very rewarding companions — but picking your breed and matching it to your lifestyle is crucial. He subjects potential buyers to weeks of interviews, which can get very personal — and in
some cases he will even make house calls to make sure the human is a suitable match. Although these birds can fetch him up to $10,000 a pop, Daniel rejects people all the time. He looks at bird/human
relationships as a delicate and rare thing, and wishes more pet shops would take this kind of care in matching their animals to prospective owners.
