The Octopus Project - Rorol

I have a really fond memory of this song. When I was driving up here to Washington from California I decided to visit my old roommate in Red Bluff so I plugged the address in my GPS about half way through my drive. It decided to put me through these weird back roads where I’m pretty sure I came across a hobo settling (trash everywhere, even spotted two of them one waved quickly, the other just sitting scratching his beard oblivious). It was a cool road, like an old forest service road. This song came up on shuffle on just added to the drive making it a bit spooky and cool. And it defiantly got more spooky since there were various hobo symbols/messages. And I was starting to get a bit worried cause it was taking awhile to get through this, my gps never had our location exactly right on the map. Then there were a few cross roads where I had to guess which way to go. I started to think hobos were going to run out and attack me. This song was a perfect fit for that vibe. 
I’ve never liked the idea of diving with music, I love diving for the serenity it brings, but I feel like this would be really cool to listen to on a night dive or at least an soundtrack to a underwater video.

Black Moth Super Rainbow + The Octopus Project - Spiracle

From Wikipedia:
Spiracles are small openings on the surface of some animals that usually lead to respiratory systems.”

From www.marinebiodiversity.ca:
“The spiracle is a vestigial first gill slit.  It appears as an opening behind the eye, as in the spiny dogfish photo below.  It is absent or reduced in many sharks, especially the fast swimming sharks and is usually larger and present in sedentary or bottom dwelling sharks.  The spiracle in sharks is used to provide oxygenated blood directly to the eye and brain through a separate blood vessel. In the rays, the spiracle is much larger and more developed and is used to actively pump water over the gills to allow the ray to breathe while buried in the sand.”

From Britannica:
“The nasal opening of whales and other cetaceans is called a spiracle”
