Hey everypeoples! New webisode! And new music for the site! A nice summer jam based on the Float Island theme from "Kirby Superstar", one of my favorite SNES games. But this tune isn't the only thing jamming. Take a look.

Jam Session --Artukei’s house-- (Justin, Teshik, and Felix have their instruments set up in Justin’s garage) J: (at his keyboard) OK. You guys ready? TS: (in human form, holding his guitar) Ready. FX: (plays on his drums for a sec) Good to go, squire. J: OK. Felix, get a rhythm going for us. FX: (starts playing) J: Little slower. FX: (slows down) J: That’s good. John, 4/4 time, key of D sharp minor. Tonic chord for five 16th notes, then up a half step with the same pattern. 16th rest between the two. TS: .... Wha? J: .... *sigh* Like this. (plays it on his keyboard) TS: Oh OK. (plays the riff) J: Good. That’s good. Just keep repeating that. Felix, maintain the tempo. I’m gonna double up Teshik and then add the melody on top of that. (doubles Teshik on his keyboard) OK. NOW! (plays a melody for a few measures) OK, stop, stop! FX: (stops) What? J: Nothing. That was.... that was awesome. That rocked! TS: What’s that from? J: (geeky grin) .... The Brinstar Red theme from Super Metroid. Hehe. FX: (rolls his eyes) J: What? It rocked, didn’t it? FX: When are we gonna start playing some real music? J: You dare mock the works of Kenji Yamamoto and Minako Hamano?! FX: Chill boy. J: Nah, just kiddin’. That was just a warm up. Let’s try what we worked on yesterday. later... J: (singing) “What is real? I don’t know anymore You’ve clouded my thinking and infected my core How do I feel? It’s like I’m going insane You’ve become like A cancer in my brain” TS: Wait, hang on a sec! (tunes his guitar) FX: Speaking of which, I think my snare needs some tightening. (looks around) Crap. I left my key in the other room. Be right back. (leaves) J: Man, I can’t believe it’s been two years since I wrote that. TS: Come up with anything new, lately? J: Plenty. This is my newest one. (hands him a piece of paper) TS: (reading) Nice. And you wrote this? J: Actually,... Felix did. TS: Really? J: I wrote the music, but the lyrics are taken from a poem he wrote. TS: .... About a girl? J: That’s why he’s here. TS: Let’s try it out. later... J: (singing) “When shall you come and visit this place? Her love needs wings to fly And what will you do? Her love so true When you see joy in her cerulean eyes?” FX: What were you just singing? J: 0_0 Oh, Felix! Hey! FX: That was my poem, wasn’t it? J: -_-\/ Umm.... FX: You wrote a song from my poem? J: I’m sorry, dude. I shouldn’t have... FX: No, I... I like it. It’s just strange cause I wrote it for... you know. J: Hey, it’s alright. Besides, I couldn’t waste good lyrics. FX: (smiles) J: I’ll find her for ya someday. Even if it kills me. FX: You don’t have to. J: Yeah, I’d rather not die either.
