+    wanted this one to be as funky as possible. drew snoop dogg uncannily realistic in honor of [[artist:andrew-hussie|hussie’s]] weird style choices. it’s a really good fuckin track. when [[artist:makin|Makin]] streamed it he also shared a video of the Sans battle, except Sans was Snoop. it was awesome.

     Much like the Penumbra Phantasm remix, this was extended with memes on Bandcamp, another thirty seconds to fit the timeframe, but is only available in short form for download, and replicated as such here. The longer version also samples "Spanish Flea" by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass during the Bolin speech.

+
+    i got pretty lazy with this cover and focused on making it look good design-wise rather than spending a lot of time on it. the song is based on [[track:nightlife-extended|the original music for the Midnight Crew Flash]], by [[artist:bill-bolin|Bill Bolin]], who ordered [[artist:andrew-hussie|Hussie]] to remove all his music from Homestuck after a fight. thus the end part.

+
+    **THIS ONE WAS DRAWN BY [[artist:nights|@itsnightsyo]] AND COLOURED BY ME.** we thought it’d be pretty neat to do a collab. i discussed it with nights and offered the idea of recreating [[flash:1931|the “how do i live” scene]] with john and she drew this wonderful piece, and i tried my best to bring it to life with bright colours, as well as drawing the background (everything but the sun + text) which nights decided should be based on the “thanks for playing” scene. i think that my bold colouring and nights’s uncanny ability to draw loose expressive humanoid figures makes for a good combo.
+
+    i’ve drawn more art for other albums, but this will have to wait as they have not been released yet :P
+
+    hopefully one day i will be skilled enough to make music AND art, like [[artist:hadron|hadron]] and nights

+    > BurnedKirby, I really like your stuff, especially Rediscover Fusion; it's one of my favorite songs on [[album:homestuck-vol-1-4|Homestuck Volumes 1-4]]. I'm surprised there aren't a ton of Homestuck fans that are following you just because you made one song for the soundtrack 2 1/2 years ago :P
+
+    Ah, thanks! Part of it is probably my being not too active in writing music. Another may be that they haven't accepted any song since that one, for Homestuck, but it happens. Thanks for following as well, as it means a lot to me.
