Round, Round Robins

A few weeks ago, a million billion records showed up on the NeighborGoodies Table:


Now, as we all know, vinyl is dead (much like those records' original gay owner, I suspect) but one person managed to breathe new life into some of these musty old musicals.

Behold:

As the longtime reader(s) of this blog know, there's an Artsy Neighbor in the building who sometimes takes pieces from the NegihborGoodies table to make his own creations.

Apparently, he decided to share his art this time, taking the records from a few weeks ago and turning them into some sort of tribute to Alfred Hitchcock and Tippi Hedrin:


I'm not really sure what possessed him to paint over the Gayest LP's in the Universe...


...but one thing's for sure: The B-side to this Mary Poppins soundtrack is... For The Birds!


GET IT? Cuz he painted BIRDS on it!

ahem... oksorry.

Bird Crap

I'm not going to lie to you: I simply have no clue what to make of this:

This evil looking bird's color scheme is similar to that of the Scarlet Macaw--the Honduran national bird. But that doesn't really answer the question of what the hell this object is.

It's made of that thin metal that they used to make kids' toys out of--you know, before everyone realized that sharp, cast iron parts covered in lead-based paint probably aren't best for young people whose motor skills aren't quite developed. Staring at that beak, I can't help but wonder how many kids this brightly colored bird has blinded or killed in its life. And, judging by the look of wicked determination on its face, the fucker probably enjoyed it.

If it was, in fact, a toy--it was a pretty crappy one. The wings on the bird actually are spring-loaded, so when at rest, the bird looks like this:

Useless... And, somehow, still terrifying. I'm pretty sure I saw Tippi Hedren cowering in the corner of the laundry room as I was taking these pictures.
