Requiescat in Pace Dr. Albert Hofmann

Bad Sister Heidi is still being very, very bad in the aftermath of her very, very awesome wedding last weekend. Reverend Velveteen has a frog in her throat and being an animal rights activist, she is waiting for an environmental impact statement to arrive in the mail before asking it to leave. This leaves Father Angus to spin disks and LPs and type. [Hey - maybe I can't talk, but I can still type! - Rev Vel] There had been some talk of a tribute to the late, great Dr. Albert Hofmann, the Swiss researcher who discovered LSD-25 in the 1940s, but a tribute implies a special and a special implies a departure from the norm and...the swift ones of you out there know where I'm going with this already...yeah. Let's just thank the good doctor for having made Psychoacoustics possible just the way it is every week.

Oh, wait! Reverend Velveteen is here after all, and she's typing from here on out.
