Feathers, eggs & beaks!
This week Ross from Just Gimme Indie Rock thought it might be fun for us to pick ornithologically titled tunes and make a magnificent mix of feathered fun to fill up your ears. Blimey.

Out of respect for all of you fine people, I listened to the entire thing beginning to end.

TIM! My side hurts from “can I exchange the Keane album for some real music?”
I hope you don’t run a-fowl of any Keane fans!

Oh Nat…I was almost that cruel (Hampton the Hamster’s version of chicken dance goes techno.) It’s funny, I didn’t even think of the They Might Be Giant’s song! Listening to it right now. A lot of danceable toons!

Keane have fans?
By tim.young on 11.28.06 11:04 pm

Great stuff !! That Bat boys Tune is horrific (in a good way), love the Dead Kennedys and The Cramps. Totally forgot about Buffalo Tom and They Might be Giants. Love those tracks.
Weird Al Yankovic had me dancing around like a silly fool !!
Peace

Never heard of Rachael Dadd & The Missing Scissors, but it was lovely.

nice work, everybody. lots of fun stuff. i think i must be a reincarnated soul from the 1940s, tho, coz i just love that big band sound.
and alex–ghoulardi! what a blast from the past. i grew up in cleveland and remember him, and the ghoul, too.
loved your intro, too, tim. : )

Everyone’s submissions were excellent and so many of them were just plain FUN! The Twilight Singers have a new fan in ME and I’m downloading everything I can find by them! Thanks, Alex!
By nat on 11.29.06 11:36 pm
This was lots of fun, great track selections by everyone.
I have to agree with Nat on The Twilight Singers.
This was a good theme Ross, thanks.
And as always thank you Tim!
