LIVE - 25/09/20 - Discord Special! (feat. Jammin' Sam Miller) [Weekly VGM Radio & Podcast]
Episode 104, Sep 26, 2020, 09:50 PM
Besides a mic-levels blunder at the very beginning, this is one of my favourite Sound Test broadcasts ever.
Within, we celebrate incredible video game music largely brought to the table by my Discord members. Across the course of this episode, you'll hear how many of my regular listeners came to love VGM and the tunes that started their passion. Of course, I've got a Top 5 of my own formative choices, alongside new rounds of Quickfire News and the SFX Showdown.
Particularly special this week is a LIVE call-in interview from Jammin' Sam Miller; the man behind a string of impressive Donkey Kong Country restorations. We discuss his history with the franchise and music, dig a little into his restoration process and even hear about his composing work for an adaptation of War of the Worlds!
In the VGM SongFight battle, we discover that - just like an oft-ridiculed spin-off - Mario is Missing! And it's up to you if Rosalina can track him down or not for next week. Until then, I hope you enjoy this extra-stuffed playlist of VGM goodness and thank you to everyone who contributed choices!
