CRAIG CONLEY (Prof. Oddfellow) is recognized by Encarta as “America’s most creative and diligent scholar of letters, words and punctuation.” He has been called a “language fanatic” by Page Six gossip columnist Cindy Adams, a “cult hero” by Publisher’s Weekly, a “monk for the modern age” by George Parker, and “a true Renaissance man of the modern era, diving headfirst into comprehensive, open-minded study of realms obscured or merely obscure” by Clint Marsh. An eccentric scholar, Conley’s ideas are often decades ahead of their time. He invented the concept of the “virtual pet” in 1980, fifteen years before the debut of the popular “Tamagotchi” in Japan. His virtual pet, actually a rare flower, still thrives and has reached an incomprehensible size. Conley’s website is OneLetterWords.com.
We're honored by DJ Tundra of Patronus Records, who praised our clockwork cover of The Cure's "Close to Me": "AWESOME work in the creation of this rendition and in the artistic way in which you really made the song your own. And the music video adds greatly to the overall allure of the production and is done so very well. A sensational audio/visual experience!!"

Here's the strange manifesto of Neons Gone Mad, about which Gary Barwin (author of Nothing the Same, Everything Haunted) says, "These cats are living their nine lives (that's 18 in total) to the fullest of their auricular nimbosity, making deft punkts pointedly in this great remiaou remeow remix, tessellating their oscillatory cattongues to take us beyond the veil to the catasubtonic world of gneonsticistic dreams, in this tasty neon mignon gnom noms, an aural gnomon taking the light and turning it dark to part the conceptual curtain (vale veil!) to allow us to gaze upon the performances on night's stage."
We again seek to make contact with the Other Side (in this case, also with the "other side of the pond"), via a clockwork cover of the British band Age of Consent's "The Beach." You'll remember from the Grand Theft Auto V soundtrack the amazing song "Colours" by Age of Consent, and we're hononed that they were interested in hearing our clockwork take on "The Beach." Note that we took the original lyrics in a different direction, changing the context to a departed soul navigating the Bardo as described in the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Here's a link to the audio of our clockwork cover.
