Episode 23-7 Electricboogaloo Appreciation Day

Sometimes during the life of a podcast the hosts become friends with listeners. And sometimes a particular listener's musical tastes are just so perfect you have to devote an entire episode to tracks suggested by them! So that's why we proclaim today to be Electricboogaloo Appreciation Day! (They have no idea we're doing this, so just go with it okay?)

Episode 23-5 Rental Reflections

This week's podcast is extra-retro with classic game music and classic stories of renting games in the 90's! We discuss the difficulty of completing games before returning them to the store, not to mention the fate of our save games while battling through long RPGs! Go microwave-up some popcorn and Google those instruction manuals, it's time to reflect on some classic game rental moments!

Episode 23-4 C64 Showcase with Michael Bridgewater

This week on the podcast we look at the past, present, and possible future of music for our favorite little 8-bit computer system: The Commodore 64. We start with music composed for games from its original retail run, and end with music from new games developed by home-brew indie enthusiasts!

We couldn't have covered so much about the system without the help of our friend and special guest: Michael Bridgewater! Not only does he join us to provide color on the hardware and tricks used to compose these tunes, but every track on today's episode was recorded direct from his original C64 hardware!

Episode 22-9 Your Positive Jams

It's time again for some more positive vibes with video game music! This time it's our listener's favorites and it's even more awesome! Thank you everyone for the great tunes! And now, enjoy the great times!

Episode 22-8 La-Mulana with Carlos

Long ago... Before humanity came into existence. Two friends set out on a quest for great music.  But they became lost inside the world of great video game music! It's been a very long time since we've done an entire show focused on a single game, or even a series. So here is our tribute to all things La-Mulana! La-Mulana is an ENORMOUS side-scrolling adventure game with great puzzles, huge bosses, and great puzzles! Did I mention the puzzles? Joining us this is week is Carlos from the Heroes Three podcast! Heroes Three is a bi-weekly show centered on Asian cinema and martial arts movies! Check them out!

Episode 22-7 Sitcom Music with Hammock!

Sometimes video game music is full of cheese in the best way. I'm talking saxophones, jazzy piano chords, and that feeling you're in a department store elevator. Or even better, the feeling that you're about to watch your favorite network family sitcom from the 90s! So much Sega Saturn, SO MUCH.

Joining us on this journey is Hammock, host of the fabulously-smooth VGM podcast KVGM The Last Wave. If you want jazzy, chill, and smooth, then Hammock is your man. And KVGM is your podcast! Check it out! https://kvgmradio.blogspot.com/
