But the newer folks made some of my favorite stuff there. I recommend you give the whole thing a thorough listen. Thanks to everyone for working on this, and as always, thanks to [[artist:cindy-dominguez|Cindy]] for configuring all the tedious Bandcamp stuff. - A final note: when I said it was unforshadowed, I guess that <a href="https://homestuck.com/story/353">wasn't entirely true</a>. + A final note: when I said it was unforshadowed, I guess that [wasn't entirely true](https://homestuck.com/story/353). <i>Homestuck:</i> ([Bandcamp credits blurb](https://web.archive.org/web/20100206233406/https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/album/midnight-crew-drawing-dead-2)) @@ -268,7 +268,7 @@ Referenced Tracks: Commentary: |- <i>Andrew Huo:</i> - Hauntjam and Hauntjelly are interesting things.

From there on, it was fairly straightforward to write a haunting refrain and then solos for each instrument. I will admit I got a little writerblock'd for the second part, which was sort of a brief modulation to the dominant, so it sounds a little strange.
