Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on August 28, 1981)

Happy birthday, Dan Deacon! May your celebrations be louder than your epic live performances and as timelessly joyful as "Spiderman of the Rings." It's been over 15 years since Pitchfork proclaimed you king of crowd-participation chaos, and audiences everywhere are still happily dancing to your beats (and occasionally bumping elbows).

Your contagious energy has turned even shy concert-goers into enthusiastic participants—proving musical genius includes orchestrating mass dance-offs. Here's hoping that this year brings more harmonious adventures, unforgettable crowdsurfing moments, and possibly fewer tangled mic cables.

Cheers to another orbit around the sun filled with sound waves—and hilarious interactive antics!
