tracks

1. Henry's Evil Birthday Plan (01:28)

key: c harmonic minor
tempo: 120 bpm
recorded: 3-10-2024
fun fact: this was made in the record makermatic in warioware d.i.y., which i strongly recommend that you try. it's a wonderful game. also, for the chorus-y bit, i stole that drum pattern from my casio pt-80's rock drum fill (which i didn't know even existed until i saw this)


2. Asbury Park (1:15)

key: g minor
tempo: 83.5 bpm
recorded: 2-24-2024 - 3-12-2024

3. Henry's Watch (1:50)

key: c# dorian
tempo: 120 bpm
recorded: 3-12-2024
fun fact: got the idea for this from an oneyplays bit about pokemon c-watches.

henry has an awesome watch
he got it for six dollars
it is made of plastic
it has a familiar face on it
it has a button you can press, and it reads the time for you
and this is what it says:

"the xtc time is: 5 pm. a perfect time of day to make plans for nigel!"

this is handy for henry, because he can't read analog clocks
and he can't read digital clocks either
in fact, henry just can't read

poor kid. but he doesn't need to know how to read to find out what time it is
all he has to do is press that button

"the xtc time is: 8 am. get to know your morning face, 'cause it's time to wake up!"

frankly, this is a bit of a smear campaign on my part
henry actually can read, he's just been showing off his stupid watch every chance that he gets
i think he got jealous of my watch, which is similar to his, but i bought mine first
mine's cooler anyway, 'cause it's made of a matte plastic, and it has thom yorke on it instead

"the radiohead time is: 6 pm. a perfect time to... fuckin'... float down the liffey? i dunno."


4. Limelight (2:13)

key: d lydian (verse), f lydian (elsewhere)
tempo: 168 bpm
recorded: 3-03-2024 - 3-12-2024
fun fact: got into this song after hearing henry's cover of it, subsequently wanted to make my own cover

henry’s dad is the mayor of adventure town, colorado.
this explains a few things about henry, not the least of which being his extreme wealth and bratty demeanor.
every march, henry’s pappy scrapes a few thousand dollars off the top of the city’s funds and throws his boy a big parade.
henry loves to be at the center of the parade, watching the townsfolk clap for him. he feels like the president.
if one year’s party isn’t as good as last years, henry will stomp on the floor and yell “no! no! no!” for 6 hours until dad calms him down with a gold-plated plaque of one of his fictional crushes.
last year, henry’s dad commissioned a 90-foot-long chrono trigger balloon float and had all the bakers in adventure town bake henry a cake that was so big, you could go inside a corridor and end up in a hollow room filled with candy.
i hear that this year, henry’s dad paid the surviving members of cardiacs mk ii to reunite and play all of on land and in the sea front to back. you’ll just have to come visit and see what happens yourself.
