A Flock Of Beetles / August 31 2008
Ladies and Gentlemen, The Beetles have left the studio.
Last night, the two biggest ones – I named them John and Yoko – gathered their little brood of beetle-children about them and headed off from their quarters in the mixing desk to pastures new.
The situation had become intolerable: one simply cannot have enormous insects making their homes in the studio hardware.
I despatched them humanely by placing them in a tiny cardboard box and feeding them to a lizard – well, I didn’t actually have a lizard directly to hand, so instead I released them back into the wild. I carried them to the bottom of the garden, opened the box slightly and waited for them to emerge, which they did, rather tentatively, a few seconds later.
Next: Bees – Slaughter of the Innocents.

So you didn’t splat them then?

Jo,
No, I let them live.
One has to, I feel.

You didn’t feel the same way about your ants, or rats. Your house is like a flipping zoo.

Thanks, Nelson.
