Those Outer Gods that loiter on the outskirts of our space-time continuum have been scheming again with their pal Cthulhu. The mighty Cthulhu, a mass of tentacles, feelers and shrieking immemorial lunacy, is cooped up in a lavish underwater flophouse somewhere in the Pacific. This oceanic abode is decked out with maddening, but no doubt stylish, non-euclidean decor and slime coated ruins. For the last several aeons, Cthulhu has molded the fleshy minds of mammals with psychically transmitted images of sky-flung monoliths, green ooze and related cosmic terror. You see, when the stars are right, those Outer Gods can jump to and fro interdimensionally, and they hope to crash our humble dimension to shake things up on earth. Till then, Cthulhu continues to twiddle its tentacles and spread cosmic conspiracy theories.

Brand loyalty is crucial for a successful return to earth, and these alien impresarios have had considerable success positioning the Cthulhu Brand in other deep, dark dungeons of the Internet. These cosmic monstrosities prefer to work with phantasmal variability, targeting niche markets, and generally 'keeping it real'. Ever the entrepreneur, Cthulhu has devised yet another strategy to infiltrate the minds of humans. Cthulhu is proud to present its first official escapade in "web 2.0"

Behold! The Cthulhutone

That's right! Cthulhu has absorbed that memetically charged casiotone "laserbeam" into its bloated alien corpulence! Casio keyboards, the scourge of thrift stores, flea markets, yard sales + ebay, have etched themselves into the collective unconscious of entire populations of grassroots music endeavors. Their peculiar and unrefined low-fidelity tones command attention in any song! Do your part to mutate and advance Cthulhu's memetic potency via hideous recombination!
