Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on May 16, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Mike Mogis! You're the only guy we know who can effortlessly juggle guitars, mixing boards, and indie-rock stardom without breaking a sweat. From founding Presto! Recording Studios to crafting unforgettable sounds with Bright Eyes—your talent is as multi-layered as your instrumental skills.

Here's hoping this year brings you even more success behind the console and on stage. May your birthday be filled with laughter louder than any amplifier you've ever cranked up—and may all your mixes stay timelessly fresh (just like you). Keep rocking those strings and knobs; you're truly one-of-a-kind!

Cheers to another legendary spin around the sun!
