 Now would be a good time to assemble that MSPA music lineage chart. Spot every callback and reference in each official album and trace them back to their roots in a dizzying chart that is probably more complex than the relationships in this story.

 Tumblr you are going too far.

I think there was a bit of Umbral Ultimatum at 1:23 in Prospit Dreamers.

And in the middle of it is Descend, sitting there like a spider in it's web.

 That's a bit off an oddball. Do we credit Descend or all the previous song references that were in Descend? It's a weird thing to organize.

After typing all this out and then checking for new posts, I can say that I wholly agree with the last sentence of the above post.
Good God this post is monstrous for the point I was trying to make. Was there a point? I don't even remember. I thought the italics would help, but they didn't do much for skimming. Time to bust out the bullet points again and replace the >s with →s.

I could track down posts I've made about that. I have a knack for pointing those out and then posting it with some excuse like "it's for future reference". Dah, I mean... pointing those out and then posting them for future reference. Yeah.

I've also got lists of songs connected to other songs that I've kept to myself. It does get complex when I get to songs that have multiple references in them, which are not always limited to easily recognizable or hard-to-miss tunes like Doctor or Upward Movement. Then there's the subjective references (I'm looking at you, Endless Climb).
One song sometimes contains another song, which contains another, etc.
• Example: Trial and Execution → Terezi's Theme, Crystamanthequins.
Then there are songs that are similar in certain aspects, for example, Trial and Execution, Savior of the Dreaming Dead, and even Warhammer of Zillyhoo would go into a single category because they all have vocals. Or at least, a certain kind. I guess that'd be a subcategory 'cause there are other types of vocals. For instance, in Hardchorale.
There are songs with:
• similar elements (demonstrated above),
• groups/trails/maps of references (demonstrated above the above),
• songs that sound similar but don't necessarily have the same melody (like Ballad of Awakening and Biophosphoradelecrystalluminescence or Softly and [/i]Ecstasy[/i]),
• remixes (such as Endless Climb, Endless Climbing, Enlightenment, and Vertical Motion), and
• songs that simply fade into one another (Descend → Umbral Ultimatum → Carefree Victory).
Most of it isn't actually written down, but I could probably do it if I wanted or had a reason to. Songs would lead into many different songs in more than one way (see above 5 bullet points). Descend contains Black, and then Black is a remix (though that type of connection isn't strictly based on which came first) of Liquid Negrocity, and so on.

...Dammit, brain, stop thinking up words and ideas that I wasn't intending on typing up in the first place.

The Golden Towers reminds me of Tal Tal Heights, from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. I suppose it could just be a coincidence.

Or they could have been trained by the great Bobby Prince.

We're calling what songs will be used in the end flash. My friend thinks Even In Death. I think At the Price of Oblivion would fit a little better, but I don't remember if that's already been used. Start placing bets, people! This could be neat

Edit: I meant to say the fabulous and amazing Voxxitronic, who is the best friend ever, and totally wouldn't edit this post to complement himself if he just so happened to be logged in as me on his computer.

 Current estimates say it'll be around a ten minute flash. It took Hussie around two weeks to make Descend and all those other crazy flashes, and he has only gotten better at using his tools with time. Whatever music is used it'll probably be a new remix. It could even feature Alterniabound style elements so theme music from various characters could be used.

 Also the MSPA imageboard where I get most of my art from is down and will likely stay that way 'till Friday,when the technical guy working for them gets back from vacation. We are in the time of less fanart. How can we survive this hiatus without fanart?

It has, but it got cut off.
I'd say Awakening, Earthsea Borealis, or something from The Wanderers. I would say something from Sburb but that's stretching it by a lot.
My friend says Savior of the Dreaming Dead. Ha ha, how silly.

4chan, duh.  Who knows, maybe with a hiatus they'll go from seven threads a day to, like, six or something.  It'll be like 2009 again.

[Duke 2.0]

4chan, duh.

Last time I was there five threads were made about Metastuck, with Deviantart, HSG, MSPA Forums and the Pony fandom all having their own persona they were playing around with.

 And, you know, smut. At first it was just Redglare and I was all, "Erm, I guess I can continue" then kids showed up, and fuck that.

I had never heard of "Metastuck" until now, and lo and behold it was the the top thread.  I'm sorry I looked.  Welp, /co/ is lost for the duration of the hiatus.

Maybe, just maybe, the MSPA Forum?  Nah, not that hive.

Pfft.

I know that was just a bad choice of wording but I'm giggling so hard right now.

[Duke 2.0]

 All of our resources are falling. First we lost the imageboard, now /co/ has fallen. Good thing mspachan has already been evacuated for some time. Will Plusfourchan and PA Forums hold up?

 Tumblr and Reddit automatically get kicked due to kidsmut.
