## Resource

Turn that frown upside down! Or vice versa if that's preferable! We're clowning around with musician/writer/bon vivant Harper Simon in celebration of his new book "Thinking Out Loud" and musical guest Puddles Pity Party performing an unreleased song written by our own Tim Heidecker! Along the way we gave some wedding day advice, we talked Plastic Ono Band, succubus fossil rock producer Watt and Steve Jordan's snare sound.
