Random Fact of the Day: Rush and Looney Tunes have a connection. You might be wonder thinking, what's the connection between Rush and Looney Tunes?  It has something to do with "La Villa Strangiato" which is off their 1978 Hemispheres. When pdbass connected the two, it blew my mind.  Around the six minute mark of "La Villa Strangiato," that's when the piece starts.  That section is taken from, pianist, Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse, written in 1937.  It was adapted and arranged by Carl Stalling.  "Powerhouse" has two parts.  The second section has been used in various Warner Bros. cartoons, "Ren & Stimpy," and others. Rush was sued for using it, but that statute of limitations had run out and nothing could be done.  They didn't owe him anything.  Upon Rush realizing what they did, they did what they thought was right and wrote him a penance cheque for using his melody. pdbass goes on to breakdown musical aspect of what Rush played.  Fascinating.  This is something I didn't know.  Goes to show that you're always learning something new. Wow.  Just wow.

Thank you for the ask! 💜🩻 I'll say the second half of Powerhouse by Raymond Scott:

Raymond Scott, "Tin Soldier"
This is some trippy-ass proto-dub to be playing a one-year-old, and I'm down with that.

"Late Night Love" by Octo Octa
MG:
I think “Late Night Love” probably goes off in a club. It has the bones of “Popcorn” in its bubbly, percolating percussion and layers of droning beats for tonal contrast and to anchor the song in time. It’s Casio Krautrock trance music and it’s permissive of the classic oldhead bob, but it also embraces limbs akimbo, flailing like bare branches in a winter gale. I think it probably goes off in a club but I also think that rigidly fusing genre to purpose is like trying to sum somebody all the way up with a couple signifiers and a personality test. It flies in the face of the beautiful, profound absurdity of our existence and it wastes away the polymorphous freedom of creativity at the center of art, the genre that supersedes all genres.
DV:
Sure, I can see "Late Night Love" working in a club, but like MG says part of the fun here is how easily Octo Octa evokes other realms just as strongly. I'm reminded of early electronic music in its bleep bloop loops and progressions, specifically the work of electronic pioneer Raymond Scott. "Late Night Love" could drop into your set if you're playing a basement club at 3:30AM and aren't hitting peak time but need to keep the energy going for another 5 hours. But it could also soundtrack a sped-up chase sequence, or maybe be the bed music for a rube goldberg style series of catastrophes. Basically, if whoever's running the next Looney Tunes reboot hasn't reached out to Octo Octa already they've missed a trick.

Imagining Raymond Scott being alive nowadays and composing tunes with names like "Catboy Sockhop" and "Hipsters at the End of Time" and "Slenderman Throws a Rave"
