Good morning, fellow ECers!

I present to you a brand new audio-visual adventure titled
"Case of the Gromps!"

The stars of this riveting short film are Spot (the white fluffy nimbus kitty) and Cashew (the angry-looking tortoiseshell panther).

This isn't your typical "cute animal" video on the internet: there is NO upbeat ukelele-xylophone-fingersnapping music of any kind to be found here. Begone with your devil music!!!

All of the video and audio footage was created during the summer of 2020, and cobbled together using the iMovie app.

Enjoy!

Applause Applause Applause! This is so good! The visuals and the soundtrack are out of sight perfect. Love the vocals. Sounds like a record being played at 15 RPM. Got to slow things down in order to really get into them.

Thank you Leslie! I’ve been searching for a turntable with a 16RPM setting. No such luck yet...

Dylan,
Only ones I have seen that play that RPM are the Seeburg 1000 if can find one, or th Lenco L75 and L78 guy selling on ebay like one or so but no descriptions you would have to ask the seller.
