VGDJ: Shownotes #049
[[00:09] .........
[00:55] Welcome to the 49th edition of VGDJ! Observe as zircon and pixietricks attempt to speak with "smooth jazz" radio voices. Keyword: attempt. But hey, what better way to celebrate the very first installment of "The Flow Basket," zirc's new remixing tutorial? Coming up later on the show!
[01:54] EPISODE 050 IS ONLY ONE WEEK AWAY! CAN WE GET A HELL YEAH?!

[04:09] Rama fails again. You know what? We don't need you! Just... just go away. ;_; (Pixie's threatening to file for a divorce, by the way...)
[05:11] ReMix Review: From F-Zero: 'The Flood Plain' by JigginJonT... Hiss or no hiss, it's difficult NOT to enjoy this new solo piano mix from OCR judge JJT. Rich chords, great rolls, and a beautiful sense of forward movement make this an arrangement worth remembering.
[07:42] ReMix Review: From Chrono Trigger: 'Town Life' by djpretzel and Geoffrey Taucer ... FIRST EVER (released) DJPRETZEL COLLAB! And he's singing. Like woah. Pixietricks doles out kudos to these remixers for their touching accoustic/vocal piece.
[10:48] Compo Report: Check out these remixing competitions and vote for your favorite song! PRC71, PRC72, and TOMC. Thank you, Chad, for not being a Rama. ^_~
[12:52] Announcing the third winner of our AWKWARD TRIVIA CONTEST GIVEAWAY! (Drum roll pleeeaaase...) It's DrumUltimA! Now I know what you guys might be thinking. "DrumUltimA? Why, he's a regular on the show, you nepotist bastards!" But you see, Doug went all out with his embarrassing nickname explanation. I think you'll understand when you hear it. So congrats for winning our last signed copies of SuperGreenX's remix albums "Chroma" and "Better Than Sliced Beats!"
For your chance to win the Episode 050 GRAND PRIZE: What unusual radio persona has been heard in the background of several of our more recent episodes of VGDJ? Think outside the box! And for the ultimate in radio embarrassment, we want to you hear your personal rendition of our Sonic & Knuckles mega collab with D-Lux, Geoffrey Taucer, and Shonen Samurai: 'Lover Reef.' The original lyrics can be found in that last link (click on the "Lyrics" tab), but feel free to come up with your own! Here is our karaoke version of the song for your recording pleasure. If you have no microphone for that purpose, you may instead call 1-800-990-VGDJ and leave us a voicemail with you singing a capella. As always, the entries are due by noon Thursday, at vgdjpodcast@gmail.com! Make us pee ourselves.
[24:30] Meetup Report: Glad to see that Drum's good fortune hasn't gotten to his head. Doug gives us the lowdown on the Otakon, Stratford Ontario, and Perth Australia meetups!
[29:16] Episode 1 of The Flow Basket has arrived! Have you ever wondered how to remix? Tried in the past to no avail? Then observe Master Zircon as he explains some of the basic methods of game music composition, and clears up a few urban legends of remixing! Here are a few popular programs to help you get started: Fruityloops Studio, Reason, Cubase, Cakewalk Home Studio, and Garageband. Also, you may find Soundfonts and OCR's ReMixing Forum useful for your purposes.
[40:58] Russian ReMix Roulette: As you can see from this week's roll, loyal fans of our show seem to get the lucky die! Sit back, relax, and enjoy a lovely piano arrangement by Dhsu: Mario Kart 64 'Rainbow Snowland.'
[48:03] And that's a wrap! Stick around for next week's SPECIAL 50TH EPISODE! And in the meantime, you can stay savvy with your VGDJ crew by the following means: www.vgdj.net, vgdjpodcast@gmail.com, our thread on OCR, IRC chat @ enterthegame.com #vgdj, our non-profit store, 1-800-990-VGDJ, the omg awesome action shot photo album, and vote for us on Podcast Alley!
