Pet Sounds

DECEMBER 2008

The Illustrated London Noise DJs have been crawling through the kennel, clearing out the birdcage, dredging the fishtank and poking around the cat basket, all in the search for unlikely tunes about, inspired by or dedicated to pets. Furry, feathered and scaly, all will be represented by super sounds from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. We’ll also have visuals from Dogs’ Ears - the world’s first canine webchat site. "No barking please, gentle growls are okay though."
