When I started subsetting bird species by order + family, the overwhelmingly most exuberant group was Psittaciformes - parrots, macaws, cockatoos.
I love the print, but this one works so well on shirts and... placemats?

On The Turntable Now
“Days” (June 1968) by The Kinks
Ok, so I'm cheating a bit. It's not an album and I'm not playing it on a turntable. I'm playing a YouTube video. And I've been playing it over and over again the last few days, so I thought I'd write about it.
