  11. [5:56 AM] cookiefonster: i thought at first eric would do something with fucking rock my forum
  12. [5:57 AM] cookiefonster: song 1 has a cool chill beat of sorts
  13. [5:57 AM] cookiefonster: it definitely feels eric
  14. [5:58 AM] cookiefonster: i think ill copy paste this album liveblog of sorts to eric's server when im done
  15. [5:58 AM] cookiefonster: that is, if i dont leave by the time im done
  16. [5:58 AM] cookiefonster: been doing a lot of driving on this vacation
  17. [5:59 AM] cookiefonster: kissing ancaps has a cool sax solo which somehow doesnt feel out of place in the music im used to hearing from eric
  18. [6:00 AM] JohnJRenns: this album is really all over the place
  19. [6:00 AM] JohnJRenns: Kissing Ancaps is absolutely breathtaking though
  20. [6:01 AM] JohnJRenns: thats the kinda degree of music production i really wanna achieve one day
  21. [6:01 AM] cookiefonster: yeah its a real cool song, that drop later on
  22. [6:01 AM] cookiefonster: https://cookiefonster.blogspot.com/2018/12/a-homestuck-fanfic-that-everyone-should.html oh hey this post just went up as scheduled
  23. A Homestuck fanfic that everyone should read
  24. I've shilled Detective Pony and cool and new web comic, both ABSOLUTE MASTERWORKS, on this blog far too many times, but there's a third Home...
  25. [6:02 AM] cookiefonster: Film has this kind of weird trippy part, that almost reminds me of solatrus's Crystalanthology but not really at all
  26. [6:02 AM] cookiefonster: kind of one of the more experimental pieces
  27. [6:03 AM] cookiefonster: eric's musical style is surprisingly easy to pick up
  28. [6:03 AM] cookiefonster: maybe thats why his plagiarism of I'm Not Famous is criticized?
  29. [6:03 AM] JohnJRenns: he uses the same chords over and over again
  30. [6:03 AM] cookiefonster: im the only one awake here
  31. [6:03 AM] JohnJRenns: i thought youd pick up some by now
  32. [6:04 AM] cookiefonster: im not sure if i picked up the chords in particular, i havent payed attention to what in partivular they are
  33. [6:04 AM] cookiefonster: maaybe thats a good thing
  34. [6:04 AM] cookiefonster: demonstrates eric has musical expertise in complex chords
  35. [6:04 AM] cookiefonster: rather than the trademark toby fox or ZUN chords
  36. [6:04 AM] cookiefonster: im officially now in the club of waiting for someone to call eric a self plagiarist
  37. [6:05 AM] JohnJRenns: he kinda has three signature styles, which are gay synthpop, plunderphonics, and ambient
  38. [6:05 AM] JohnJRenns: obviously i am a big fan of all his gay synthpop albums
  39. [6:05 AM] JohnJRenns: he has such a variety but remains consistent and prolific, i think i admire that the most out of him
  40. [6:05 AM] cookiefonster: ive been nostalgic for childhoods or whatever it called is plunderphonics right
  41. [6:05 AM] cookiefonster: the rest is gay synthpop?
  42. [6:06 AM] cookiefonster: Dead Inside has a real cool groove to it, i oddly really like how good eric is at sticking to a style
  43. [6:06 AM] JohnJRenns: nah this album is strictly gay synthpop, except for "Winter was Warm" later at the end
  44. [6:06 AM] JohnJRenns: he just sometimes uses samples of youtube videos(edited)
  45. [6:07 AM] JohnJRenns: i think that was ray william johnson at the first track
  46. [6:07 AM] cookiefonster: i so badly want to get into making vocal songs sounds so funny to me
  47. [6:07 AM] cookiefonster: yeah thats rwj
  48. [6:07 AM] cookiefonster: if i make vocal songs i would definitely release an instrumental to go with it
  49. [6:08 AM] cookiefonster: oh hey this art gallerys pretty cool https://imgur.com/a/tIugjqV

  51. Little Spoon Alternate Artwork
  52.  
  53. [6:09 AM] JohnJRenns: YEA he did this thing where he got 12 different artists to draw the cover for each song
  54. [6:09 AM] JohnJRenns: fuckin wild
  55. [6:09 AM] cookiefonster: pack my box sounds kind of lke the typical jjr/neil cic synthpop
  56. [6:09 AM] cookiefonster: im not even sure i can tell the difference
  57. [6:09 AM] cookiefonster: and i wouldnt have it any other way
  58. [6:09 AM] JohnJRenns: omg i love pack my box
  59. [6:09 AM] JohnJRenns: and i love that you hear me in it
  60. [6:13 AM] cookiefonster: Tonight, We Ride is a bit odd among the songs given its pace and tone i can see your criticism in that regard
  61. [6:14 AM] JohnJRenns: i think the instrumental tracks in this are pretty weak
  62. [6:14 AM] JohnJRenns: like i think i actually hate Film
  63. [6:15 AM] cookiefonster: ah that song abruptly ends
  64. [6:15 AM] JohnJRenns: i despise this bass sound
  65. [6:15 AM] cookiefonster: damit i didnt want that
  66. [6:15 AM] cookiefonster: Honest is to a strong start it actually does sound like christmas
  67. [6:15 AM] JohnJRenns: Honest is too short and its still 6 minutes lmao
  68. [6:16 AM] cookiefonster: huh im intrigued to see waht you mean by too short
  69. [6:16 AM] cookiefonster: you think it doesnt have enough time for like a drop or something?
  70. [6:18 AM] cookiefonster: huh https://twitter.com/EricTaxxon/status/1077444803577741312

  74.  
  75. Twitter
  76. [6:20 AM] JohnJRenns: no i meant it was so good that it should go on for like forever lol
  77. [6:20 AM] JohnJRenns: but yeah the cello in that is live
  78. [6:21 AM] JohnJRenns: and Monster has some guitar, and you heard the sax on Kissing Ancaps
  79. [6:21 AM] JohnJRenns: all three of those folk are on the Taxxon Cult Discord i believe(edited)
  80. [6:25 AM] cookiefonster: thats pretty awesome
  81. [6:25 AM] cookiefonster: i nneed to talk there more
  82. [6:25 AM] cookiefonster: but at the same time i dont really
  83. [6:26 AM] cookiefonster: if i become too invested in a server then i start hating things about it or getting irrationally annoyed
  84. [6:26 AM] cookiefonster: happened with canmt server
  85. [6:27 AM] cookiefonster: winter was warm start with so many windy noises which is trippy bc it seems windy outside rn
  86. [6:27 AM] cookiefonster: i can hear those chimes some people have on their porches playing, at my vacation house
  87. [6:29 AM] JohnJRenns: i joined the Lemon Demon discord but turns out they arent that active
  88. [6:30 AM] JohnJRenns: so i just talk about music sometimes, same with the Taxxon server
  89. [6:30 AM] JohnJRenns: i like that the Taxxon server has dedicated channels for sharing your stuff tho, without the pressure of it being a FAN MUSIC PROJECT
  90. [6:32 AM] cookiefonster: Winter was Warm i didnt pay much attention to it osunded kind of ambient
  91. [6:32 AM] cookiefonster: i wnent "oh shit music" when Monster played
  92. [6:33 AM] cookiefonster: that one is pretty different from eric's other msic, probably bc of the acoustic guitar. i ilke the way he combines with other peoples live performances
  93. [6:36 AM] cookiefonster: ok it actually mixes the more acoustic parts with the typical eric style ,damn
  94. [6:37 AM] JohnJRenns: it does it really well
  95. [6:37 AM] JohnJRenns: and its so fucking catchy
  96. [6:37 AM] cookiefonster: Little Spoon marks the return of the synth arpeggio remind me again which song uses it
  97. [6:37 AM] cookiefonster: oh like Film
  98. [6:37 AM] cookiefonster: except not really at all
  99. [6:38 AM] cookiefonster: ok actually that one sounds like mostly ambience
  100. [6:38 AM] cookiefonster: i think eric's ambient songs are meant to serve as interludes of sorts in his albums
  101. [6:39 AM] cookiefonster: normally id kind of be annoyed by that but eric has taught me that his albums are intended to be listended to as actual albums, that tell a story
  102. [6:39 AM] cookiefonster: not just a compilation of individual songs
  103. [6:39 AM] cookiefonster: i could not be more happy that i was introduced to eric, at the start of this year
  104. [6:41 AM] cookiefonster: ok the ending song of this album, dont forget i can write soft silly music too
  105. [6:41 AM] JohnJRenns: yeah i forgive Eric for putting filler instrumental tracks in his albums
  106. [6:42 AM] JohnJRenns: he really knows what he's doing when it comes to structuring an album
  107. [6:42 AM] cookiefonster: i fucking HATE HATE HATE when people complain about "filler" in media or say its useless
  108. [6:42 AM] cookiefonster: sometimes it serves a useful point
  109. [6:42 AM] JohnJRenns: YEA
  110. [6:42 AM] cookiefonster: sometimes its just fun lighter stuff that theres absolutely no point in complaining about
  111. [6:42 AM] cookiefonster: like how fucking picky can you assholes get
  112. [6:42 AM] JohnJRenns: You cant just have action scenes all the time
  113. [6:42 AM] cookiefonster: hiveminds of that sort are all abound on hsd
  114. [6:42 AM] JohnJRenns: theres no emphasis if theres no breathing room in between
  115. [6:42 AM] cookiefonster: sometimes its entertaining sometimes its just stupidly annoying
  116. [6:43 AM] cookiefonster: anyway that last song has ssome cool eric piano improv its exactly the kind of music i want to make but havent gotten around to
  117. [6:43 AM] JohnJRenns: oh yeah i can see you playing piano and singing stuff on a song
  118. [6:43 AM] cookiefonster: ok this sounds like one of those "multiple songs in one" deals
  119. [6:44 AM] cookiefonster: like the first half is bright piano improv the second is a more laid back walktz
  120. [6:44 AM] cookiefonster: WALKTZ
  121. [6:44 AM] cookiefonster: WALTZ
  122. [6:44 AM] JohnJRenns: LOL
  123. [6:44 AM] cookiefonster: that typo i keep making it
  124. [6:44 AM] cookiefonster: every time i try to speell waltz
  125. [6:46 AM] cookiefonster: i think that song being two songs in one does a good job at proving a point
  126. [6:46 AM] cookiefonster: OH MY GOD IT ENDS THE WAY IT STARTED
  127. [6:46 AM] cookiefonster: usually i despise when people write mmultiple songs in one
  128. [6:46 AM] cookiefonster: it feels like lazy hacks
  129. [6:46 AM] JohnJRenns: LOL
  130. [6:47 AM] JohnJRenns: IM THE SON OF RAGE AND LOVE
  131. [6:47 AM] cookiefonster: theres a small handful of canmt songs that feel like multiple songs in one
  132. [6:47 AM] JohnJRenns: i love songs like that, that have movements
  133. [6:47 AM] JohnJRenns: but they have to be done well
  134. [6:47 AM] JohnJRenns: and still tell only one story
  135. [6:47 AM] cookiefonster: right
