LMH Mixtape #123: Role-Playing Games 2 (Part 1)

One of the best things about revisiting these mixtapes is rediscovering tracks you'd somehow forgotten about, and for some reason this first half of the RPGs-part-two two-parter became a huge blindspot in KeyGlyph's memory.  Now that her hindsight prescription has been readjusted to 20/20, she can't stop rocking out to some of these jams... and as soon as you hit play, the same will go for you!

Episode 231: An 80's Christmas

This is another Christmas episode as the holiday theme seems to pop up all over the show.  Another theme is 80’s.  There’s a lot of 80’s sounds and references in this episode as well.  In the photo, Rob is trying to look like he’s poorly blowing a kiss, in case you were wondering.  There’s a also a VGM Karaoke segment at the end from Hammock of The Last Wave podcast.  Full track listing below.
