walkin' the dinosaurs

"you think your pitbulls are hard.. meet fifi, fluffy, dinky, rara and REX.. my likkle babies"



exquisitely on topic to start with.. just not like me at all... but I did have to finish with 'She Purred While I Grrrd' whatever you think of the song and the fact that it doesn't fit a pets theme.. what a title.
Had to miss out loads to keep it sensible..

'Woof Woof' Dan Deacon
'Hello Meow' Squarepusher
'Purrfect' Funki Porcini
'Superpet' Pet
'The Parakeet Beat' (Bjorn Torske Remix) Sunburned Hand Of The Man

are making a pleasant/interesting segment of my pet sounds at the moment.. they could be played at any speed and no one would be confident enough to challenge it.

fifi, fluffy, dinky, rara and REX are wondering if you're questioning their dino status.. they might have a bone to pick with you about such notions!

Aah, purrfect.. I nommed that on RR.. can't just play that at any speed though, all cats purr at exactly 178 bpm...
your fifi, fluffy, dinky, rara and REX sound like tough critturs.. I'll bet they'd go a bit green around the gills if they encountered my pet rat, though- or are they creation theorists? That might explain why they don't seem to know they are extinct.. actually the scene reminds me of one day walking home with Mara and her dino mad friend, he was discussing a jurassic park scenario where he'd recreate a dino from some dna, except it would be inflatable and deflatable, so he could take it to school and wouldn't have to feed it so much...

We have 4 year old Timescale at the moment.. when Z-boy asked my age on my birthday.. "that's really old.. after Dinosaurs but before Pirates"
is it a boy thing?

as for pet rats.. loads of my friends had/have them.. I try my best to cope, but got bit by a wild one on the farm when I was seven.. that was bad enough, but the tetanus needle was duff and broke off in my arm.. going green and passing out was my party trick if anyone mentioned Rats or needles.

UGH! [*shudders involuntarily*]

Sorry about the rat..
Time-wise it's not just a boy thing... just before going to sleep for a year between 5 and 6 Mara used to ask "tell me the story of the world... from the beginning.." I think we got bogged down somewhere in Mesopotamia.. she did spoil the odd religious studies class with a description of the big bang, though, which must make it worthwhile..

Only joking about the rat, btw- the nilp. swamp is a pet free zone, although the girls want a beagle..

Great picture Saneshane. I tried playing "She purred ..." but the Be Good Tanyas keep coming up.

I wrote a story about a boy and his pet dinosaur when I was a kid, but my teacher rubbished it for being historically inaccurate. I was puzzled 'cos I thought anything could happen in a story. So that's why I'm not a great author ...

saneshane said...

songs should all play again - don't know what I did there!


I make up stories every day for my lad, his history and grasp of reality will be shot by the time he starts school in september...
but most stories you read when young are like that, what an odd teacher.

I think it's good for kids to get used to alternative versions of things before they get to school, though, otherwise they might believe everything they hear without questioning it.. wouldn't might hearing that Squarepusher track, btw..

squarepusher is in dropbox pets sat-mon (thank tin)

Shoey said...

Think this could be the best picture on the 'Spill ever. Haven't listened to this or your pet list yet (tried to listen to AOTW first last night & fell asleep).

steenbeck said...

Another excellent list, Saneshane. Although it wouldn't play the two rabbit songs for me. Damn anti-rabbit dropbox. I really like She Purred While I grrrrd. Who is that by? WHen I said I Wanted to Be Your Dog is such a funny title.

purred/grrred is Wild Beasts and is pretty damn full on sexy too! check out the lyrics on WB's website (IF YOU DARE!)

Holy shit the Wild Beasts! No wonder I like it. REmember back in the olden days when Blimpy RRed, you posted some youTube viddy tracks by them which we went crazy about over here. I'm off to the website.
