VGDJ: Shownotes #040
[00:00] After a one week hiatus, zircon and pixietricks are quite enthused to be back in action. Goooo VDGJ! Err, VGDJ. Yeah.
[01:37] We're doing better than ever on PodcastAlley, all thanks to you guys. But don't stop there, keep the votes coming!
[03:29] In case you didn't know, VGDJ has a thread on the OCR forums where you can find the latest discussion, news, and silliness. You're all invited to come and post. :>
[04:39] The Rama Report: That slacker Rama is finally on the ball again. McVaffe and his friends have started a new video game-oriented satire and humor website, GamerGasm (be warned, it's slightly explicit). ThaSauce had its one year birthday on May 5th. OverCoat released a free original album, Memories EP on April 25th. Finally, the evening before E3, virt performed live with a few other artists, being watched by such celebrities as Mustin and The Wingless.
[07:21] ReMix Review: From Super Double Dragon: 'No.5 (Snapdragon)' by ParagonX9 ... "Funtronica" at it's best. ParagonX9 serves up a sizzling platter of synths and beats which we were feeling the whole way through; but the time signature change and the switches between the breakbeat and hardcore styles were what set this mix apart.
[10:33] ReMix Review: From Super Metroid: 'Brinstar Bonsai Garden' by Red Tailed Fox ... Though it caused a bit of disagreement among the OCR judges, this mix is definitely a smooth, jazzy treat. It's not be as straightforward as many other ReMixes, but we're pretty sure that you'll be diggin' da improv action in this one. Check it out.
[13:47] ReMix Review: From Jurassic Park: 'Concerto for Velociraptor' by Koelsch1 ... Another jazzy remix? Jazz bias, zomg! But seriously, this combo orchestral + sax mix is pretty solid all around. A somewhat simple orchestral background supports the nicely performed sax lines which really carry the song. Does this combo work? You'll have to listen and decide.
[16:52] The Compo Report: A healthy serving of competitions this week - ORC46, ORC47, PRC67, PRC68, TOMC12, FLMC2, and PRC:A.
[19:12] We hope you all haven't forgotten about the upcoming Philadelphia meetup, celebrating the one year anniversary of VGDJ! Food, music, and merriment will accompany a live edition of the podcast, featuring special guest hosts. Not only that, but besides a cadre of fans and remixers, Paul Levering and Paul Owens of PLAY: A Video Game Music Documentary Film will be there. It's going to be awesome.
[21:20] The Meetup Report: The VGDJ Anniversary Meetup... in the UK! It's scheduled for May 20th in London, with more specific details available in the thread on OCR. Back in the states, a Chicago, Illinois meetup is planned around the PLAY! video game music concert. This is scheduled for May 27th. A possible Australia meetup is in the works, organized by V____ but plans have not been established yet; check out the thread if you're interested. GeoffreyTaucer is considering a meetup revolving around parkour, which the more athletic among you may want to check out. Finally, Canada meets are still being discussed.. but no plans yet.
[25:38] Russian ReMix Roulette: Will we EVER actually pick the remix that's going to be played?! Apparently not. :( Nonetheless, the dice of fate selected a mighty track indeed. From Castlevania 3: 'Stained Glass Filth' by goat.
[33:41] It's a look into the secret lives of VGDJ hosts! Or maybe they're not so secret, since we're talking about them. Anyway, pixietricks is busy pimpin' out ReMixes in her new job at GiGi's while zircon has been honing his skill at MIDI ripping and proper usage of drumloops at Drexel U. But despite our crowded schedules, we can't wait for next week's meetup, where, surely, we will be overwhelmed by a sea of loyal Philadelphian VGDJ fans.
[36:57] Over and out! That's all for this week. Drop us a line and keep the votes coming!
[38:52] VOICEMAIL: OmegaSephiroth, Abadoss, the woohoo guy, OmegaSephiroth & friends, Less Ashamed of Self (rofl), and Leomania.
