Thru story and song Compost Brite (Erica Doering) & Moodsy the clinically depressed owl (MST3K’s Frank Conniff) teach the audience about love, friendship and self mutilation. Vintage cartoons curated by Jerry Beck are screened between sketches.

CARTOON DUMP takes place in a garbage dump, a filthy, disease-ridden stinkhole where whimsy, imagination and a child-like sense of fun are as common as the used heroin needles that litter the ground like magical four-leaf clovers.

I'm currently producing this artist called "Anna Belinda Bee" she is like Cute High School Rap from the UK. It is by far the best music I've made so far. We are moving fast and will be done sooner than we expected. Whats up with you? How's everything?
