You know why you see so many feathers in owl cages?
Because if they turn their heads around too far they explode.

Lol, somebody’s off his game.
ETA: Really enjoyed the tune too. Not my usual fare but I was intrigued all the way through and loved the bass line.

I never pay attention to when it’s Superb Owl day. Now that I’m aware for once, I shall celebrate tonight by listening for the two great horned owls that hang out in the giant oak tree next door*.
I’d say it’s a tie as to which wins the Superb Owl trophy, though. (Granted, this is mainly because I can’t tell them apart.)
*(My realization that I had owls as neighbors took a while. I heard an owl calling a few times, but it’s such a “stereotypical owl” sound that I wasn’t sure if someone was imitating an owl, it was a recording (e.g. part of some show a neighbor was watching), or a real owl. Eventually I hear the sounds at dusk, and peering in the gloom at the oak tree, I see two vague shapes. I initially discount them as “the owl” because there are two, not one, and they’re huge. It’s only when they went flying off that I realized yes, they’re owls, and yes, they’re fucking massive.)

It is a great bass line.
Belbury Poly is Jim Jupp, who co-founded the Ghost Box label w/Julian House. The Owl’s Map is an interesting album, and it led to my finding all the avail Belbury Poly. I love all of it
Most of the Ghost Box musicians make me happy, too.
