Light at the Edge of the Universe (Cassette)
Artist: Godspeed, Little Doodle
Type: Audio Cassette Tape
Size: 37 min 16 sec
Material: Plastic
Doodle was the affectionate nickname given to the stray rabbit that had found its way inside Electro Lizard, one of the Universe's most famous recording studios. Prickley Pete, Funeral for a Vampire, and Schmog had all played their hearts out in the hallowed halls of the eclectic studio. Doodle, legend had it, escaped a shipping frigate to a processing plant for cosmetic testing, fighting through hell and high water for freedom. Godspeed, as they were known then, had been munching on a crudité platter when they noticed an entire sleeve of carrots had gone missing. In the middle of recording their second album, a demo so dreadful they refused ever to release it, the much-needed break was part nuisance and investigation. Upon finding the dirty thief, they adopted him as a de facto band mascot (based purely on his adorably floppy ears and sunny disposition). Once properly washed of soot and several nasty streaks of orange makeup (which gave him the appearance of the Earth snack "cheese doodles"), it was a passing janitor who ultimately spun the tale of rabbits, and other creatures, who would escape laboratory testing in search of better lives. Godspeed, Little Doodle, as they were now known, had been struck by a creative spark. Doodle became their hero: ten times his normal size, a creased leather jacket, revenge on his mind. Light at the Edge of the Universe is the combination of Doodle's mythos (created by the band) and the story of Nicos Hazinstokas, a liberator of small animals who used a transponder at a deep space lighthouse to tamper with the electronic shock collars of trapped creatures across a vast network, leading to a revolutionary wave against animal servitude (though, the battle was short lived when the freed realized they had no opposable thumbs and therefore could not fire certain weapons properly). Doodle was spared that loss and molded into an antihero, a chiptune on his shoulder, and a sidekick. His name? Twoodle. Light at the Edge of the Universe was the quest for the Aerobeacon, a transmitter that would effectively send intergalactic slavery and lead to prosperity. Through the discovery of Twoodle (who could emit a skin-melting beam of light from his mouth, on command), to the scummy corners of the Volcano Club, this was a sonic journey to find freedom and meaning. Godspeed, Little Doodle, famous for their chiptune artistry, infect this odyssey with their finest, whiniest melodies, throwing us from thumping, club lows, to twirling adventurous highs, all culminating with the Lighthouse itself in the titular finale. While it may have all been bunk (the legends, not the album), it did not matter, dear Audionauts, for the journey is worth it, and, some say, so is the reward.
