The canary (Jane) is alive, though poor-doing. I have her on the Starburst diet and the yellow ones seem to please her. Still, I'm concerned. She has quieted since I lowered the hood, but some of these sharper bell sounds of Fabio's music irritate her. I am not surprised. She is small, just under a U.S. pound.

Jane is a flightless bird, but she is a fast runner. She enjoys the modified hamster wheel in her cage. She just runs and runs. The hood is down now. She's mostly quiet, save the occasional clicking sound she makes with her hard, parrot-like tongue.

Philo - Lost Tapes could not be more all over the place and yet consistently head exploding. tight, album ready songs, jams, spaced out freeformness, polished studio recordings, live recordings, rough outtakes. i was ready to spend the cash on the vinyl when it came out but it appeared to sell out before i could even see it in a store...
