Twitcher pop
Posted by Glenbervie on 17 February 2011 - 11:44am.
Birdwatching has a long and distinguished history in the annals of the music we call pop and rock. Who can forget such mighty tunes as Crossbill Traffic, Dark Nightjar and that sheer masterpiece from those metropolitan minstrels, Madness: Our Grouse, In The Middle of Our Street. A particular personal favourite is Susan's Housemartin by the Eels...
Does the Massive have any other examples?
