"I...am an excellent host."

Holy shit, how have I not seen this until now?

I know that my Homestuck music outings are typically known for being light and whimsical, but there's one song in particular that doesn't really fit that category. Scratch was my foray into writing music for a villain, and I had a great time working on it. I remember that it was right around Halloween when it was finished. Good timing.

I had always wondered what a boss fight-style remix of Scratch would sound like, and now I think I have a pretty good idea. I think this is actually the first work of mine that has been fan-remixed too. This was fun to wake up to.
