Popper's got a brand new bag: gypsy space-jive from "Look Around You" funnyman

Comedian and writer Robert Popper has even more talent than I realized. Below, dig this upbeat Django-esque jig composed and performed with his collaborator Justin Spooner. The track previewed here is called "Chase." That's why there's a photo of a slug in this blog post. I love the tune. More about the project here. Also, here's more work from Spooner.

It sounds fantastic. Reminds me of the soundtrack to The Neverhood. (which is also fantastic.)
