Can anyone recommend a cheap/reasonably priced source of pet meds? One of my sister's cats has developed asthma and I guess the medication can be pretty pricey...

Scene Report: Psychomania
A Lego minifig cobbled together from various parts: black cop jacket torso, blue legs, red helmet, with a winter stormtrooper visor, the combination of which vaguely resembles the motorcycle gang from Psychomania's helmets and uniforms.

Has anyone experienced as much of Chicago’s late-night musical offerings the past few decades as Claudio Velez? I interviewed 16 musicians, DJs, and nightlife workers about the Tamale Guy’s relationship with Chicago music for this Reader oral history.

more Sonic Visualizer spectrograms from the new album, these from the track For Every Snake A Sweater

a couple of spectrograms from the new album, taken from New Rubber Sing-saw using Sonic Visualizer
a spectrogram in pink-purple-orange. many parallel and overlapping thin horizontal lines which sweep up or down or both very quickly at the end. there are also several saw tooth like forms in various locations a spectrogram in pink-purple-orange. much more space in this one, on the left, several fuzzy parallel lines crossed with spikes from below, a burst of sweeps in various directions in the center, and the spikes continuing without the parallel horizontal lines to the right

rethinking, two albums. the first I did for Blorpus is also digital only.. though it its now also available from me on multiple platforms as well. stand by my reply, it's just important to know why & how before you make an agreement of that sort, not go in blind, know what you're getting & giving
