If you festoon your Mellotron with party streamers, wear jokey clothes,
put on a red nose and play 'Happy Days Are Here Again' on Dickstrings
then it will still sound like a funeral. And you were to play it at a
funeral then it would become something so utterly miserable that...well,
let's just say this is the reason why Blechta looks the way he does.

A new Systems Theory track is coming out soon. Dance beats in 4/4. Major
chords. Upbeat. Humorous musical quotations. Still sounds like a fucking
lament for the dead.

Tron Wisdom #7: 'You can start in F# Major, but all roads lead back to A
minor'.
