Pigeons & Planes is a New York-based, Complex magazine owned-and-operated music website. It is updated daily with new hip-hop and indie rock music (but is not limited to those musical genres), as well as music-related news.
Introduction
Pigeons & Planes was established in 2008 by Jacob Moore, who began the then Blogspot site because he felt that there was no one site that covered a range of musical genres as well as music news. The site joined the Complex Media Network in 2011, and by 2012, it was announced that the site had been acquired by Complex magazine.
Pigeons and doves constitute the bird family Columbidae that includes about 310 species.
Pigeons are stout-bodied birds with short necks, and short, slender bills with fleshy ceres. They feed on seeds, fruits, and plants. This family occurs worldwide, but the greatest variety is in the Indomalaya and Australasia ecozones.
In general, the terms "dove" and "pigeon" are used somewhat interchangeably. Pigeon is a French word that derives from the Latin pipio, for a "peeping" chick, while dove is a Germanic word that refers to the bird's diving flight. In ornithological practice, "dove" tends to be used for smaller species and "pigeon" for larger ones, but this is in no way consistently applied, and historically, the common names for these birds involve a great deal of variation between the terms. The species most commonly referred to as "pigeon" is the rock dove, one subspecies of which, the domestic pigeon, is common in many cities as the feral pigeon.
Doves and pigeons build relatively flimsy nests – often using sticks and other debris – which may be placed in trees, on ledges, or on the ground, depending on species. They lay one or two eggs at a time, and both parents care for the young, which leave the nest after seven to 28 days. Unlike most birds, both sexes of doves and pigeons produce "crop milk" to feed to their young, secreted by a sloughing of fluid-filled cells from the lining of the crop. Young doves and pigeons are called "squabs".
Spot the Pigeon is a 7-inch EP by the British progressive rock band Genesis, released in 1977. Its three songs were holdovers from the Wind & Wuthering sessions, which the band felt did not fit the overall feel of the album.
Upon its release, the EP managed to reach No. 14 in the UK singles charts. Although the EP market never took off in North America, their overseas distributor, Atlantic Records, released Spot The Pigeon in Canada as a 12-inch, on a limited edition blue vinyl.
This was Genesis' final studio release before lead guitarist Steve Hackett's departure later in 1977. His discontent was that he was not able to get more of his songs onto Wind & Wuthering and was further aggravated when "Inside and Out," which he felt was worthy of inclusion on the album, was relegated to this EP.
Although Spot the Pigeon saw a CD release, it has since been deleted. Two of its three tracks, "Pigeons" and "Inside and Out" appeared on the band's 2000 box set Genesis Archive 2: 1976-1992: "Match of the Day" was not included due to the band's dislike of the song. It was eventually made available on CD with the 2007 release of Genesis 1976-1982, thus making the entire EP available for the first time on CD in the U.S. "Pigeons" and "Inside and Out" have been also released on Turn It On Again: The Hits – The Tour Edition.
Regarding Here We Go Magic's second album, Pitchfork wrote: "Luke Temple takes his Here We Go Magic project for a spin on the Autobahn and opens the throttle." The BBC wrote "Redraw those best music of 2010 lists because Pigeons, the second album from HWGM, will be alighting somewhere near the top of them.” The San Diego City Beat called the album; "A varied record full of fast-paced riffs, layered vocals, electronic noises, ambient sounds and the steady lull of Temple’s croon."
