What started as a solo recording project has turned into an engulfing year of church organs, thermins, vibraphones and grinches. After deciding to make a solo record while working with some other bands, it became clear that syncing up my debut EP to Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas (1966) was not going to be simple. But, after a long solitude with my instruments, a few helping hands brought the project to a completion. Now, at it again, I'm recording my second EP (of a trilogy) with everyone instead of no one.
I'm a huge fan of the Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon sync with The Wizard of Oz and so I hope that, if you liked that unintentional sync, you might enjoy this intentional one.
There are around 150 syncs; see if you can catch them all. If you can't, you can read about the ones you might have missed.

Synchronicity:
"is a word coined by the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung to describe the temporally coincident occurrences of casual events. Jung spoke of synchronicity as a causal connecting principle (i.e. a pattern of connection that cannot be explained by direct causality)." (Wikipedia/06)
