There's one simple way to save our swifts - require that all new buildings above a certain size include a swift nesting brick.

Summer vacation is officially over on this Friday August 1st. I hope you are ready to learn stuff. By listening!
After a shamefully decadent three year sabbatical, STR's educational "Learning by Listening" tape series will return next month with the biggest (C80!) and most academickest volume yet. If you are unfamiliar with our highly-prestigious pedagogical system, please consult the digital pamphlet below.

Quite addictive this isn't it? What I find fascinating is that regardless of the atmosphere, intent or emotion offered by the original tune - this technique rips it all out and trivialises it completely. Everything just sounds like a primary school day trip.
