Artist commentary:

Andrew Hussie: (MSPA news post, excerpt)

This is pretty easily my favorite album so far. It's such a great mix of silly songs and kickass songs and all the wonderful moments where those two types of songs intersect. Sometimes those moments even span entire songs. Please enjoy this.

Awesome job by the guys as usual. Nice mastering work by Jeremy, author of the first and last songs.

I drew the cover in case you couldn't tell. I have a feeling SOMEBODY out there might ask for a desktop version so before you get all flustered about that, here it is to be adapted to your viewing device however you choose.

Cindy Dominguez: (whatpumpkin.com news post)

Alright, you guys can stop begging for Vol. 6. Or, if you want to engage in a bit of pedantry (and boy do I ever!), Homestuck Vol. 6: Heir Transparent. We did it, it is done. And it is incredible.

Hmm. I wonder how many times I can imply that these guys have outdone themselves before people start thinking I am a bit of a liar? Well, I suppose all you have to do is listen to the album and promptly feel silly for ever doubting me.

I tip my hat (and implore you to do the same) to Jeremy "Solatrus" Iamurri for doing a standout job at mastering this bad boy.

Homestuck: (whatpumpkin.com side blurb)

The sixth official Homestuck album, and the first with a cool subtitle. A mere number-title alone cannot possibly hope to do this album justice.

Michael Guy Bowman: (How to Bronze Bowman) captured 5/30/2011

bowman needs to be bronzed so we never lose him
someone google "how to bronze bowman" - Jitka

Hi Jitka!

Volume 6 of Homestuck is out today with my small contribution to it, a cover of "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing," best known to most of us as that ridiculously over-the-top love ballad that Aerosmith sang in Armageddon. Between this and my last little movie ballad (by the same writer even) I have almost completely sold out before even having established myself as a working musician, but that is NOT MY CONCERN. My concern is that you go ahead and buy this album and support not just me but all the wonderful artists working on the MSPA music team.

My concern is also that now I might be on the fast-track to being a wedding singer if I keep recording love songs from 90's action movies, although that ain't such a bad gig. Any Homestuck fans out there who want to buy me a plane ticket so I can crash your day of holy matrimony?
