Rhythm and Pixels Video Game Music Podcast
Episode 6-5 Junko Ozawa
This episode is composer-focused, we only play tracks originally composed by Namco alumni Junko Ozawa. Her work ranges from Namco arcade classics like Rolling Thunder and PacMania, all the way to Klonoa for the Playstation. There's old and new classics to be found in this episode, so grab your headphones and get into it!
Episode 6-4 Dreamcast RPGs
This week we focus on the small-ish library of role playing games for the Sega Dreamcast. The Sega Dreamcast is a very special system for both of us. It had some great games, but they were also taking risks with some crazy ones.
Episode 6-3 Podcastiversary!
Happy podcastiversary! Put on your best clothes and grab your party hat, let's celebrate in style! This week we look back at some great episodes, and great music. We each pick our top 5 (but not Pernell) and dance, sing, and talk about superstar-sports-athlete Bo Jackson! Thank you everyone for
Episode 6-2 TurboGrafx CD
The show gets a few upgrades and add-ons this week with our focus on the TurboGrafx CD systems! Last week we looked at classic TurboGrafx 16 music, but this week is music in the classic CD audio format Redbook. It gets a little jazzy, a little funky, and then a little crazy with that Riot Zone track. I'm still not sure what's going on there.
Episode 6-1 TurboGrafx 16
This week we jam out to music from the TurboGrafx 16, also known as the PC Engine in Japan. There are some absolute gems in this week's episode, so get to it!
Episode 5-10 Aethernaut
Welcome to our 50th episode! We have an absolute treat for you this week, we've got special guest Aethernaut joining us to listen and comment on great game music. He helped us out by choosing the topic: Music with emotional gravity.
Episode 5-9 Scary Music
Boo! It's that time of the year to thinking about spooky-scary things. Things like ghosts and goblins, draculas, wolfmen, and mad-mad-mad-mad-scientists! Let Rob and Pernell be your guides into the haunted house of video game music! Happy Halloween everyone!
Episode 5-8 Chiptune Spectacular!
Rob and Pernell take a break from the usual, and get down with some original chiptunes! The focus this week isn't just for original chip-music, that is music made specifically with older hardware. The tracks picked for the show are just excellent tunes created with the classic sounds and hardware as the focal point of the show. There's also a lengthy discussion of Anamanaguchi at the end of the show for some reason. Such a special show deserves a special guest! This week the Super VGM Bros. are joined by R&P All-Star Matt Waldron (Pernell and Matt Play Games).
Episode 5-7 Rock Music
Internet! Are you ready to ROCK! What started as an episode of great guitar riffs, turned into general rock music found in video games. As usual Rob digs into the classic 8 and 16 bit generations, and Pernell shares some of his favorite Falcom Sound Team tunes. Let's jam!
