VGDJ: Shownotes #057
[00:00] Fun fact! For those of you who don't know, zircon wrote the intro theme song for VGDJ and pixietricks recorded the vocals and added sound effects.
[00:54] Ah, back on our own show! The Game Music Radio interview went great, and the promo that Brian & Becky made for us is awesome. Thanks again, guys!
[02:55] OMG a new collab from your VGDJ hosts? Yeah, and if you missed the GMR interview, you missed the mix too! Better keep yo'self updated on the FF7 Project thread.
[03:58] Be an informed listener and make good use of our OCR thread - we keep telling y'all, sometimes we post stuff there that doesn't get posted anywhere else! ;)
[05:32] Oh no! As of this writing, we've dropped out of the top ten. But we're not out of the fight yet. Keep voting for us at PodcastAlley and we might make it back in there.
[07:01] Awww yea. Flow Basket is on the way. But first:
[07:34] The Rama Report: Electronic artist BT and legendary guitarist Steve Vai, among others, will be present at the Video Games Live show to be held at the Hollywood Bowl. Compyfox notes that his list of software/hardware equivalents has been recently featured in a video podcast. Also, a group buy is going on for the software "East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Choirs", discounting it to 40% of list price.
[09:35] ReMix Review: Final Fantasy Adventure 'Chocobo!' by big giant circles ... Two words summarize this ReMix - hoo hoos. But nah, in all seriousness, this is an excellent electronic offering by bgc. While the Chocobo theme is usually on the annoying side, this ReMix turns it into something we thought was really fun and enjoyable to listen to - which, as bgc states in his clip, was the point!
[14:47] ReMix Review: Metal Gear Solid 'Legend of the Snake 2: Snake vs. Dragon' by Reuben Kee ... Well, someone here at VGDJ certainly likes this mix. It's the sequel to the first "Legend of the Snake" mix, and as pixietricks points out, Mr. Kee has definitely improved. It would be hard to call LotS2 anything but epic, with it's massive ethnic and orchestral parts combined with synths and other electronic elements. A total of four thumbs up from us!
[19:27] The Compo Report: PRC, FLMC, and TOMC.
[22:17] The Flow Basket: Episode 2. zircon continues his ReMixing tutorial series, this time demonstrating another method of getting a ReMix started and taking you through all the steps, from analyzing the source tune part by part to writing variations on it and layering different elements together. Smooth.
[35:24] The Meetup Report: Toronto, Sydney, UK, Pittsburg, and Seattle meetups all in the works.
[38:53] Will you be in the New York City area on September 21st? Do you like Shael Riley? If you answered "yes" to either of these questions, then you should definitely check out his upcoming show at The Fat Baby in NYC. If he can book at least 40 people, he'll have the opportunity of opening for some bigger acts at a better venue. Show Shael some love!!!
[41:03] It started like a Russian ReMix Roulette like any other... but it wasn't! pixietricks has a serious case of the giggles (or is she completely insane?) at the thought of zircon in transparent red pantyhose. What this has to do with 'Team Gato' by Dale North and Mustin (from Chrono Trigger), no one really knows. Oh well. A fitting song for one of our weirder RRRs.
[50:20] Is it a full moon? A little MSG in the drinking water, perhaps? Whatever it may be, your hosts are feeling extra silly as they muse over VGDJ Brand ReMixer Pudding, Albert Blum, pixietricks' new role in an upcoming opera at Peabody, and the general randomness of the show thus far. Hey, we're allowed to be weird sometimes... ok, maybe all the time.
[55:55] No contact info for you! But, do feel free to check out our photo album (ALBUM DAMNIT) and vote for us at PodcastAlley to return us to the top 10.
[57:16] VOICEMAIL: Abadoss, Freudian analysis guy, Fragment, DJAnubis, Fragment again (w/ song), and genghisdani.
