My favorite song of the moment

The Thomas Beale Cipher

" Professor White, cryptographer extraordinaire, is on the trail of the notoriously uncrackable Thomas Beale cipher—a century-old riddle hiding the location of a fortune in gold that has tormented its pursuers since inception. But White is not alone—shadowy forces are tight on his tail."
"The film contains 16 hidden messages that hold clues to the characters' secrets. Eight are fairly easy and require only a close eye. Six are moderately difficult using various encryption methods. Two are extremely difficult and will require a genius mind to decrypt. "

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti

Yes, that is the name of the band. I would recommend looking into Mr. Pink, as it seems from reading he is quite the personality. You will get a hint of it in the beginning of the music video where his breast milk is delivered to him. I do like the timeless feel:
