CD Scarecrow - stage two
So having taken the decision to use old CDs to make a scarecrow I’ve now gone to the dusty and under-used CD shelf and made some tough decisions. Needless to say that S Club 7 (later in their career they would become just ‘S Club’) can now have all the sunshine they want as they have made the cut. Actually their CD is ideal as it shiny on one side, obviously, and white on the other. That places them very high indeed on the scary-meter.
Actually I don’t need many CDs to construct my scarecrow so the rest are made up of Travis (did we buy this? both of us deny doing so), Moby (newspaper freebie), Fat Boy Slim (ditto), Marion (mid 90s Britpop wannabes), Hard-fi (why is this man shouting at me?), Paolo Nutini (??), and The Good, The Bad and The Queen album which I have to say is awful and I hope I never have the misfortune to listen to again.
Before the weekend I hope to start construction of said scarecrow. More to follow.

I need to make a scarecrow and judging by what I’ve seen elsewhere, the dangling of CDs seems to be a popular choice. So how do you make a CD scarecrow? Well the first stage would be selecting some CDs to dangle. Why waste money on blank CD-Roms when there’s a large collection of CDs in the house that we never play anymore (the ipod+dock has now replaced all that nonsense).
I’m tempted to pick off the bad CDs first (we’ve got a Travis CD somewhere I think and a couple of Coldplay albums) but maybe I should just dive straight in, admit that we’ll never put a disk in a CD player again and put my Beck CDs out to seed.
One thing that does occur to me is that I could try different artists in different sections of the allotment. Pulp by the runner beans and Sparklehorse by the carrots. Any views?
