Artist commentary:
Robert J! Lake, Nick Smalley, Luke Benjamins, and Erik Scheele: (album audio commentary)
GFD: Wait, whose song is this now?
RJ!: Uh, this is the only one that AgentParsec has in the album, this is Elf Shanty.
GFD: Oh, right! I forgot about this one.
Nick: That elf.
GFD: I remember this one, this is catchy.
RJ!: Mhmm. GFD: Do we have an NSF of this one either?
RJ!: Uh, I don't think he NSF'd this one, I think this is fake. I'm not sure though.
GFD: Oh... sad.
Jit: I don't know, that percussion sounds awfully familiar.
GFD: No, this sounds... this sounds like it was made in Famitracker. Can we get an NSF from him before we release the album?
RJ!: We'd have to talk to him, though. Um, I want to have released it today and we're burning the afternoon oil right now.
GFD: Let's see if you can find him, 'cause... for, I want NSFs for this.
RJ!: He's got a baby though, now.
GFD: [incredulous] He's got a baby?
Nick: Yeah, he does have a baby— GFD: What's he—? Nick: —don't you remember? GFD: What's he—?
RJ!: So, it'd kinda make things more...
GFD: What's he—? Jit: The baby's probably like months old by this point.
GFD: What's he doing making babies? He should be making music.
Nick: Don't you remember?
GFD: Great, so now we don't have NSFs.
RJ!: He was busy watching the Sesame Street YouTube, that's how it happened.
GFD: Oh. Oh, I see.
Nick: He was trying to figure out how, and then he watched Sesame Street.
[laughter] Nick: Topical!
RJ!: That's real family entertainment right there.
Nick: I don't know, this doesn't sound like something in Famitracker.
GFD: Yes, it does. (What are) you on?
Jit: Yeah, it does.
Nick: Fine, you win. GFD: And hasn't Parsec made stuff in Famitracker before?
Nick: Harlequin?
GFD: Yeah, er, wait... Jit: Aggrieve?
GFD: Was it him that made the title screen for Problem Sleuth?
Nick: Yes. GFD: Because that was in... that was in Famitracker.
Jit: It would make sense.
RJ!: Yeah, it's probably him. Nick: In fact, if it weren't for Parsec, I wouldn't be on the music team.
RJ!: Really? GFD: Really?
Nick: Uh huh.
GFD: How did he, you, the music team?
Nick: Because I heard the Problem Sleuth opening theme and I was like, I could do that.
GFD: Ah.
Nick: And then, I sent music to Andrew and then he invited me into the music team [unintelligible].
GFD: I don't even know how I got in. I literally have no idea. Jit: Yeah, me either.
GFD: I was just, sort of, there all of a sudden... And then I wasn't, waaah.
Jit: Well, you like, applied at one point, I'm sure.
GFD: Oh yeah, but I don't even remember if I put music in that email, actually.
[laughter]
RJ!: I'm here because Adghar...
Jit: Did the three of us like, "I can make music" and then you got in, and were just like "I'm not making any music, right now."
RJ!: I really wish I actually like, actively applied. I'm only here because, um, Adghar posted a bunch of people who were apparently like supposed... You know, music team candidates. Possible people. He listed me as um, "psychedelic rock".
Nick: Cool. Jit: Interesting.
