The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast

Two.  Interesting choice to call this episode "Two."  Brent and Rob cover lots of ground, lots of popular bands and artists of the 80's and 90's, that is.  Some weird mystery sounds come out of Gabe and Brent as well.  Also, a new Legacy Music Hour tribute VGM Karaoke by user Julián (aka ysy-y).  Full track listing below.

Episode 106 was the Legacy Music Hour's second side-scrolling and platforming focus, and man, it was GOOD.  As far as KeyGlyph is concerned, it introduced her to not one, not two, but THREE new tracks that became instant ultra favorites, and they've stayed that way for her ever since.  If you felt the same way about any of these tunes, get ready to have your world rocked all over again.

Castlevania had certainly been no stranger to the Legacy Music Hour during the show's first two years, but by Episode 105 there was still so much music left to feature that it was time for a dedicated series focus.  If that was your jam, be sure to equip this mixtape as your subweapon so you can enjoy the tunes all over again whenever you have the hearts to spare.

Mixtape mistress Emily joins the boizz on this puzzle game focus and gives them a bunch of gifts.  The episode also seems to have a beach theme -lots of the tracks tend to relate to water and relaxation and tropical stuff.  Full track listing below.

We're finally closing out season two of the Legacy Music Hour mixtapes, which means it's time to tackle another Best Of Year In Review!  If you're not familiar with the way this goes, this mixtape will alternate between Brent and Rob's top ten favorite new VGM discoveries from Episodes 52 - 103. Rob's #10 pick starts us off, followed by Brent's #10 -- and thus the pattern continues until we

Rob joins Brent in person for another exciting episode of the boizz sharing their top ten favorite tracks they discovered in roughly the last year.  Gabe also gets in on the action and shares his top three.  Lots of Rambo talk on this one (not that that’s spoiling anything), but more importantly, a major, major insight is made regarding the music to Sonic the Hedgehog, which you don’t

Episode 101 was the first in a small cascade of free plays leading up to the Legacy Music Hour's second anniversary celebration.  Enjoy the extra legroom as the boizz suspend the theme requirements and drift wherever the waters take them!  Extra trivia: the original recording of this episode may have contained the first discussion of the mixtape idea, as suggested by user Big Mike.

As the mixtapes finally reach their centennial, let's pause for a moment to wax nostalgic over the Legacy Music Hour's legacy and what it's meant to the listeners.  For many of us, LMH was the first VGM podcast to hit out eardrums; over time we became so attached to Brent and Rob's weekly banter that the announcement of their "final episode" in 2013 caused a mild panic.  Scads of Users

Another beyond fourth generation focus.  Due to a power outage, Rob wasn’t able to join, so it’s just Brent and Gabe and a bit of Trevor too.  And because Rob wasn’t playing tracks on this episode, that means more tracks for Gabe, which means, instead of Gabe’s Corner, it’s the Gabe Interjection.  Full track listing below.

Once again, Brent and Rob select tracks from role-playing games, some new titles to the podcast, others fairly familiar.  Gabe gets in on the action too.  They also talk a little bit about black mold and Rob gives thanks to everyone for recognizing his kindergarten degree.  Full track listing below.

Back before media companies discovered the booming national market for Japanese graphic novels and anime, video games of popular manga characters often stayed within their country of origin.  What kinds of VGM were Japanese kids listening to on the regular in the 80s and 90s that other regions may have missed?  With their Manga episode, the Legacy Music Hour gave us the opportunity to
