Album: cool and new voulem.1 Date: July 2, 2016 Cover Artists: - miraculousAvantgarde URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/album/cool-and-new-voulem-1 Directory: cool-and-new-voulem1 Commentary: |- Niklink: There's so much to be said about the absurd trajectory of the Cool and New Music Team, but I'll try to keep it short. After the release of the incredible [[album:homestuck-vol-10]], which was a sort of epitaph to the official music team, a Q&A stream was held with the musicians. There was a bittersweet tinge to it, not just because of Homestuck's recent ending, but because they reflected on their artistic trajectories and how they had been musical amateurs that had been able to refine and hone their skill through the comic's run. To me at least they had always felt like inimitable performers, even if I'd always aspired to be as good as them or as the high-quality fan music that was being made at the time. But their encouraging talk about how they had progressed as artists over the years led to an idea formed right there, in the livestream chat. Why not make our own music team? A music team on our own terms, expressly as a practice vehicle, to create and release music without a care in the world as to whether it was good or bad or terrible? No shame, no hesitation, just for the hell of making Homestuck fanmusic, and maybe improving along the way. Cool and New Web Comic's popular but low-quality presentation was a natural fit. And the response was massive. It turned out many people felt the same way, or simply wanted to see what all the noise was about. Only two weeks later, the newly-created Cool and New Music Team released a 50-track album. This is that album. --- Track: Cascante Duration: '3:05' Artists: - Noisemaker Cover Artists: - Ahnock URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/cascante Referenced Tracks: - track:sburban-jungle - Cascade - track:showtime-piano-refrain - Shave and a Haircut --- Track: Harlecoaster Duration: '0:56' Artists: - Ngame Cover Artists: - MrCheeze URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/harlecoaster-2 Referenced Tracks: - track:harlequin - RollerCoaster Tycoon Theme --- Track: FLARERERERERERERE Duration: '1:29' Artists: - Niklink Cover Artists: - miraculousAvantgarde URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/flarerererererere Referenced Tracks: - Flare Commentary: |- Niklink: The only piece of Homestuck fanmusic I had ever completed was this Famitracker remix of Flare, but since at the time we were fully committing to the 'shitty music' idea, and a straight up transcription of a Homestuck track isn't particularly CaNWC-ish anyways, I ran it through a bunch of filters. Just to make sure no one accidentally liked it. --- Track: Showtime (piano a fine) Duration: '3:32' Artists: - Wheals Cover Artists: - miraculousAvantgarde URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/showtime-piano-a-fine Referenced Tracks: - track:showtime-piano-refrain - track:its-showtime - Für Elise --- Track: Spacesplore Duration: '1:42' Artists: - Aris Martinian Cover Artists: - miraculousAvantgarde URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/spacesplore Referenced Tracks: - track:explore - Space Jam - track:showtime-original-mix --- Track: justice must be a serve Duration: '1:42' Artists: - Makin Cover Artists: - Vriska did nothing wrong URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/justice-must-be-a-serve Referenced Tracks: - Post-Apocalyptic Fedora --- Track: Three in the Morning (4 1/3 Hours Late Remix) Duration: '7:20' Artists: - Ngame Cover Artists: - Ngame URLs: - >- https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/three-in-the-morning-4-1-3-hours-late-remix Referenced Tracks: - Three in the Morning - RollerCoaster Tycoon Theme - Fruity Pebbles Jingle - '*bleep*' --- Track: licord nacrasty Duration: '2:14' Artists: - Sir Felix Cover Artists: - miraculousAvantgarde URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/licord-nacrasty Referenced Tracks: - Liquid Negrocity - Oppa Toby Style - track:game-over-bootleg --- Track: Archagent Everlasting Duration: '2:07' Artists: - JohnJRenns Cover Artists: - miraculousAvantgarde URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/archagent-everlasting Referenced Tracks: - Liquid Negrocity - Cascade (Beta) - Walk-Stab-Walk (R&E) - I'm a Member of the Midnight Crew --- Track: X - V A P O R - R O M Duration: '1:07' Artists: - Minish Cover Artists: - Makin URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/x-v-a-p-o-r-r-o-m Referenced Tracks: - XROM Directory: x-vapor-rom --- Track: Penumbra Phat Duration: '0:34' Artists: - Putnam Cover Artists: - Makin URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/penumbra-phat Referenced Tracks: - Penumbra Phantasm --- Track: MoonShitter Duration: '2:18' Artists: - Interrobang Cover Artists: - Makin URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/moonshitter Referenced Tracks: - Moonsetter --- Track: 'JHON: RICE' Duration: '1:28' Artists: - Hadron Cover Artists: - Hadron URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/jhon-rice Referenced Tracks: - Savior of the Waking World - 7 GRAND DAD --- Track: sonflapper Duration: '1:00' Artists: - Peachy Peter Cover Artists: - johnjammin URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/sonflapper Referenced Tracks: - Sunslammer --- Track: turnways lurker Duration: '2:16' Artists: - Aris Martinian Cover Artists: - Aris Martinian URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/turnways-lurker Referenced Tracks: - Never Gonna Give You Up - track:MeGaLoVania - Penumbra Phantasm - English - Flare - track:explore - Unite Synchronization - Stronger Than You --- Track: Anthem Duration: '1:27' Artists: - No Funny Name Cover Artists: - Niklink URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/anthem Referenced Tracks: - Homestuck Directory: anthem-canv1 Commentary: |- Niklink: It's depressingly common for collaborative fandom albums to run into trouble getting art delivered for all their tracks in time. I don't really blame them, drawing is hard enough without knowing that it's probably going to be playing second fiddle to the music anyways. But nevertheless I knew I could phone this one in without any artistic skill, so I took it off the un-arted song pile. The secret is: there's actually an online tool that generates Minecraft logo-style text. --- Track: Three in the Medley Duration: '3:58' Artists: - Interrobang Cover Artists: - Hadron URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/three-in-the-medley Referenced Tracks: - Three in the Morning - track:three-in-the-morning-rj - track:explore - track:aggrieve - track:atomyk-ebonpyre - track:chorale-for-jaspers - Liquid Negrocity - track:MeGaLoVania - track:upward-movement-dave-owns --- Track: Unity of Thorns Duration: '2:12' Artists: - JohnJRenns Cover Artists: - Hadron URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/unity-of-thorns --- Track: Hankage Fantazumu Duration: '1:53' Artists: - Difarem Cover Artists: - Makin URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/hankage-fantazumu Referenced Tracks: - track:pseudumbra-phauxtasm --- Track: i am sititng in a buttock Duration: '7:20' Artists: - MrCheeze Cover Artists: - miraculousAvantgarde URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/i-am-sititng-in-a-buttock Referenced Tracks: - Bowman's Credit Score --- Track: can you give me a HAND Duration: '2:35' Artists: - Pipko Fanfare Cover Artists: - Makin URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/can-you-give-me-a-hand Referenced Tracks: - RollerCoaster Tycoon Theme - track:showtime-piano-refrain - track:showtime-original-mix --- Track: Usurp Duration: '1:44' Artists: - flagellumVagueness Cover Artists: - Cryptanark URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/usurp Referenced Tracks: - track:explore - The Beginning of Something Really Excellent --- Track: a color this shirt also comes in Duration: '2:28' Artists: - Noisemaker Cover Artists: - Makin URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/a-color-this-shirt-also-comes-in Referenced Tracks: - track:black --- Track: fun cat song :3 :3 Duration: '1:05' Artists: - JohnJRenns Cover Artists: - Makin URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/fun-cat-song-3-3 Referenced Tracks: - track:chorale-for-jaspers Directory: fun-cat-song --- Track: Completely Delusional Duration: '2:26' Artists: - Pipko Fanfare Cover Artists: - Hadron URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/completely-delusional Referenced Tracks: - Black Rose / Green Sun - track:chorale-for-jaspers --- Track: upp word(s) movmeant (Fanon Edit) Duration: '3:47' Artists: - Sir Felix Contributors: - Pipko Fanfare (Drums) - Ngame (Drums) - Minish (Kazoos) - Makin Cover Artists: - miraculousAvantgarde URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/upp-word-s-movmeant-fanon-edit Referenced Tracks: - track:upward-movement-dave-owns - Snow halation - Descend - track:the-baby-is-you - Oppa Toby Style - Bowman's Credit Score - track:bowman-remix - Meet the Flintstones - HEY MAN VOLUME 10 MAN HEY CHECK IT OUT - RollerCoaster Tycoon Theme Directory: upp-words-movmeant-fanon-edit --- Track: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Duration: '1:01' Artists: - o Cover Artists: - Niklink URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Commentary: |- Niklink: This is just a SBaHJ panel with a bunch of filters run over it like a steamroller. I was aiming to emphasize the resemblance to 'The Scream'. I don't even remember what I did to that poor SBaHJ panel at this point, but I'm sure those emotions made their way into the final product. --- Track: rolercoasteng in SPACE!??!?? Duration: '2:48' Artists: - o Cover Artists: - Niklink URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/rolercoasteng-in-space Referenced Tracks: - RollerCoaster Tycoon Theme - Space Jam Commentary: |- Niklink: When [[artist:o]] sent in his 'songs' in a surprise show of appreciation for our musical efforts, I immediately nabbed the art spots for them, because I wanted the 'honor', I guess. In any case, I'd say my skill at creating track art was roughly on par with o's skill at creating music, so I guess it worked out fine. You just don't get that kind of rail wobbliness from a lesser artist, you know. --- Track: ScArY roller coasteds!!

I can explain, okay? This is an oblique reference to the album [[album:medium]]. When it was initially released, there was a lot of speculation, particularly on the MSPA Forums, around the idea of combining or layering the different tracks on the album to find cool mashups, particularly the matching song pairs for each Land. It was even implied that this was a specific musical choice by [[artist:clark-powell]], to make 'hidden' music (she immediately denied this, but it had no effect). Ultimately it culminated in the creation of 'Medium - Mega Mix', which was for all intents and purposes all eight tracks in the album sandwiched on top of one another into an ungodly sound wall, which was nevertheless positively received by fans. This worthless shitpost of a song is based on that phenomenon, as well as being a sort of 'tribute' to [[album:homestuck-vol-10]] which had after all been the insipration to establish CaNMT in the first place. Also in a way, getting the obvious unfunny ear torture shitposts out of the way early on meant subsequent CaNMT musicians would be forced to innovate. So, in a sense, you're welcome? --- Track: dono't dsiturmpt plsthx Duration: '2:44' Artists: - Peachy Petey Cover Artists: - Aiden Griffin Hanks URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/donot-dsiturmpt-plsthx Referenced Tracks: - Atomic Bonsai - track:bon-voyage-amigo --- Track: you are a furry Duration: '2:08' Artists: - Pipko Fanfare Cover Artists: - Makin URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/you-are-a-furry Referenced Tracks: - Sunslammer - Gardener - The Beginning of Something Really Excellent - Dogsong --- Track: Tycoontime Duration: '0:56' Artists: - Ngame Cover Artists: - miraculousAvantgarde URLs: - https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/track/tycoontime Referenced Tracks: - RollerCoaster Tycoon Theme - track:showtime-piano-refrain --- Track: ultimite fite!!!

It's of course a SBaHJ-ified parody of the Homestuck 'title screen' flash with the adventure name, parallelling this song being intended to be CaNWC's counterpart to [[Homestuck]] and [[Homestuck Anthem]].
