![Newer Wave
The 80s Gallop, a rhythmic motive heard in this piece, was popularized by many synth pop bands of yesteryear. Legend has it, some of those bands may still exist - wandering the countryside in search
of slap bracelets.

![Past Sadness
We all need sadness sometimes. I have a sadness Loot-Box subscription. This month, I got some get-well cards for babies, wilted iceberg lettuce, a 1999 Gateway laptop, 3 popped balloons, and a die-hard Montreal Expos fan. The service ships everything in an empty box of wine with a broken spigot.

![Symmetry
This piece has a good beat and you can dance to it... assuming you are a dark, lurking horror with a betentacled face and an urge to consume life forces.

![Midnight Tale
Gather round the taverns fire and I will share a tale for as long as I have ale. Hah! Tale and ale! Im not guaranteeing rhymes, though. That was a coincidence. I was playing lute for an uninterested group of tavern-goers, when all of a sudden, I remembered that I had a sandwich for lunch! It looks like Im out of ale, so that is the end of my tale.
