My friend, who records as Caveman the Wise, gave me the green light to use his music, responding to the video by saying, “That is so fucking strange. I love it… It’s so fucking weird.” And if I can pretend to have learned anything in life, it’s that going the route of strange and weird is rarely the wrong way to go online.
