Paralleling last month’s episode, The Legacy Music Hour finally does a focus on the music of David Wise (known for popular franchises such as Donkey Kong Country, Battletoads, RC Pro Am, and Wizards & Warriors), and more importantly, finally does an interview with David Wise himself.  The interview was originally set to happen back in 2012, but for one reason or another, it didn’t happen

We learned a lot of things in The Legacy Music Hour's food-themed episode.  We learned that Brent loves peanut butter and candy, Rob prefers dinner and/or cake, and that Penta the Yume Penguin Monogatari penguin really needs to find a partner who appreciates him just the way he is.  These mixtapes are an absolutely judgment-free zone, so don't you start worrying about your figures too,

Japanese and Chinese locales pop up a lot in video games, and as you might have noticed, they often have amazing background music.  For Episode 74, Brent and Rob searched far and wide for some of the best Asiatic tracks around, and they came back with souvenirs from all the major console cultures of the 8-bit and 16-bit era -even the arcade scene!  So come and sample this amazing buffet

The Legacy Music Hour finally does a focus on the music of Tim Follin, and more importantly, finally does an interview with Tim Follin himself.  The interview was originally set to happen back in 2011, but for one reason or another, it didn’t happen until now.  Lots of interesting stuff here as well as some clarification regarding composer credits.  Thank you to Tim Follin for

All right, look.  KeyGlyph here.  I've been trying to compose a measured introduction to this mixtape for the usual Legacy Music Hour blog post, and I'm officially giving up.  Jazz Music 2 is just too darn good.  It's dreamy, it's busy, it's romantic, it's introspective; it'll conjure up images of bustling cities one moment and lonely hotel lounges the next.  I can't

Yet another TurboGrafx-16 focus, although it’s mostly all PC Engine tracks this time.  In this episode, the boizz get cross-wibed, the boizz talk cereal, and Brent shares some special food recipes of his own creation.  NOTE: Rob played the wrong track for Mahjong Gakuen, which was just a variation loop of the beginning of his intended track.  He had become so sleepy by that point

Get ready for some serious bass lines, horn stabs, and syncopated beats, because it's time to revisit the LMH funk focus.  This mixtape has enough food, folks, and funk for every user, so whether you're a purple belt or just a white belt with a little yellow on the tip, you'll be lovin' it.

The boizz do another focus on TurboGrafx-16 and PC Engine music (and SuperGrafx too).  Rob plays tracks he’s been sitting on for a bit, while Brent plays all Darren Deluxe picks, so thank you to Darren Deluxe for the compilation he sent over.  Rob also has pretty bad allergies, so watch out for that.  The boizz really have a lot of fun with Tiger Road, so watch out for that too.&

When you played your handheld systems back in the day, were you the sort of gamer who made use of the headphone jack, or did you just rely on those tiny external speakers?  Regardless of who you were in the past, today you're a fully grown LMH User -- and that means you relish the opportunity to listen to portable VGM tunes through your finest headset, just as the composers had always

Brent and Rob celebrate the 200th episode of The Legacy Music Hour with a live recording in Los Angeles.  Lots of fun and laughs and hijinks take place during this momentous occasion with a handful of guest commentators, a healthy amount of audience participation, a few in-person video game music related performances, and even some actual video game playing.  Bad boizz, birth-talk, and

Fighting games rarely end after one round, so why would a focus on their music end after just one episode?  Brent and Rob dug deep into more obscure titles for LMH's second setlist of fighting game tunes, so either get ready to mash your way through this eclectic mixtape or go home and be a family man.

More shirt popping happens on Episode 199 which leads into a conversation the boys have about a slang phrase Brent often uses out in public.  Rob also shows off his new look, which you can only see in the episode photo.  Gabe, Rob, and Brent get into a bit of a debate about whether Sega CD should be legal on the Legacy Music Hour.  Brent and Gabe also talk about how much they love

In Episode 68, Brent Weinbach and Rob F. Switch LIVE put the spotlight on Hitoshi Sakimoto, a composer whose work has made him a Legacy Music Hour favorite ever since.  A master of multiple platforms with styles ranging from the funky freshness of Hourai High School to the cinematic sweeps of Treasure Hunter G to the relentless rush of Verytex, Sakimoto's versatility and complexity inspires
