We live on the 9th floor and have a balcony. Pigeons are a bit of a problem. They shit all over everything, basically. The other day I went out to see a pigeon had made a nest in the dog's (unused) litter tray. The nest had an egg in. I put the lot in a bag and threw it in the bin. I felt a bit bad but don't want to risk having diseased animals living practically in my house.
Yesterday we bought a drum kit off ebay. It was a bargain: full kit with ride and 2 cymbals for £100. The kid i bought it off said he couldn't practice it without the neighbours complaining. The kid's only about 11 or 12. When i finished loading it into the car he said
"do you want these drum sticks too?"
"Won't you need them?" I asked, thinking he'd still be playing drums at school or something.
"No, I'm not going to play drums anymore."
I took the sticks. I felt bad cos he might never get into music now. He might not play another instrument again in his whole life. Did i get a bargain at the expense of his creative life?

In other news, i managed to give Blood Moon CDs to both Billy Childish link and Matthew Dear link last night. Result.

big lolz at this thread.
pawel bashing not included. he may have opinions you don't like but that doesn't make him a 'dumb fuck'. I don't see how he was being so much of a jerk about it either...

i've been told by more than one person (does that make it an urban legend?) that if you put crushed up alka seltzer tablets on your window sill, roof top, sign.. whatever.. that the pigeons will eat it. this is not a good thing for pigeons apparently as it causes some extreme indigestion and actually explodes their insides.. sometimes in mid flight. so.. end result.. they die. inhumane/cruel.. yes. foul... yes.
the person who told me this the first tiem was some kind of maintenance man at tall building in talahassee florida.
a better way to go would be to get a red tail hawk and nest it in your neighborhood some place. they love to attack pigeons and it's kind of spectacular.
or you could track down this pelican...
