I needed it too. Although I hope someday to understand why that had to happen and why I needed it.

I will never again be satisfied with the non-super duper version of O Fortuna.

That was weirder than I expected. Not as funny as the troll misheard lyrics version, but more impactful.

This is like 1,000 Cats, Orff Edition.

That was excellent in all the weirdest ways and exactly what I needed.

Fans of August Schram and creative visuals will also enjoy the short film A Robot's Tale. Less latex, more poodles!

I have seen both on a giant screen (Cinerama, Seattle) and will never be the same again. In the best possible way, in case that wasn't clear.
