VGDJ: Shownotes #064

[00:00] Surprisingly, this was one of the few comments we received on the subject (via voicemail, anyway!)
[01:02] Do we... sound familiar to anyone? A cookie to anyone who gets it. ;)
[01:57] Welcome Herman, our newest host. He's still working on becoming more articulate, but we think he's got potential.
[02:55] Didn't catch our contact info? Here it is again; 1-800-990-VGDJ is the voicemail, vgdjpodcast@gmail.com is our email/Paypal donation account, irc.enterthegame.com #vgdj is our IRC chat, and right here is our lovely thread.
[04:05] You geeky guys and gals have been doing a great job so far with the PodcastAlley votes, but we need a little more of an "oomph" to hit the top 10. It's fast and easy, so there's no reason not to! Just click here.
[05:10] Last week, zircon claimed multiple victories at the 2006 JPF Music Awards, smacking up the competition in "Best Techno Song" and "Best Techno Album" categories. Yea!!! You can check out the album (more physical copies soon) at its CDBaby page and listen to samples there. But we wouldn't just shameless advertise to y'all - no sir-ee. zircon has put out a special promo page for VGDJ listeners where you can get the CD in digital form for a significantly reduced price. Simply visit this link! Just don't give it out to any non-VGDJ listeners, please.
[08:43] The Rama Report: A new video game music concert feat. Yasunori Mitsuda? Yes please. The 2006 Ar Halloween ReMix contest is now over. A group of cross-community ReMixers including Mustin, Mazedude, zyko, and Dhsu have created a Bad Dudes remix album for everyone to enjoy (though it doesn't have to do with the game "Bad Dudes"). Lastly, DETHKLOK will be a playable track in the upcoming game Guitar Hero II.
[13:33] ReMix Review: Final Fantasy X 'Via' by pixietricks, Tepid, and The Orichalcon ... It might have taken awhile to be properly judged and posted, but it sure was worth the wait. This three-way heavy hitting collab is a great mix of acoustic, electronic, and vocal elements that really showcases the individual talents of the mixers involved. Tepid sent in a clip for us to tell a little more about it, too!
[19:01] ReMix Review: Mega Man X 'Light in the Fortress' by housethegrate ... We were just about ready to only have one review on this week's show, so seeing this posted was a pleasant surprise! Guitar + synth + prodigous soloing always works for us.
[22:25] Compo Report: CMC2, PRC80, FLMC4, ARHRC2k6, and TOMCX1.
[27:04] Meetup Report: Back to back reports! YEA! NYC Meetup 2k6, Western Prairie Canada, and Winnipeg!
[30:23] Russian ReMix Roulette: Swords, lords, tapeworms, and N-Sync are all involved this week on the RRR, so you know it's gotta be good. Though zircon's pick was "close", pixietricks guessed it right with a FIVE; Simona and N-Joy's collaboration 'Marble Pack Edit' from the game Stormlord. More love to obscure games please. And bad puns.
[39:06] As you guys may have guessed by her diminished activity in our chat, Ms. Pixie has been working extra hard as of late. Most notably, she's playing Barbarina in the opera "The Marriage of Figaro" which opens next week. Hopefully, we'll still be able to do a show together, but there are only 24 hours in a day so we'll have to see what's up. On the bright side, there's always Herman, right? :)
[41:01] El fin de show. (zircon edit: I think that's how you say it) As you listen to our voicemails and stinger, feel free to throw down a vote or look at our photo album. Till next week!
[42:54] VOICEMAIL: Gimgak, soviet VGDJ listener, Baconman (?) 42 aka Galvanoob (??), Shiver McTimbers, AHHH!!!, Xiao Xiao Neo, and the ever-present anonymous caller.
[47:49] [stinger]
