LMH Mixtape #75: Food

We learned a lot of things in The Legacy Music Hour's food-themed episode.  We learned that Brent loves peanut butter and candy, Rob prefers dinner and/or cake, and that Penta the Yume Penguin Monogatari penguin really needs to find a partner who appreciates him just the way he is.  These mixtapes are an absolutely judgment-free zone, so don't you start worrying about your figures too, users.  Fill up on these tracks, and then come back for seconds!

LMH Mixtape #74: Asiatic Music

Japanese and Chinese locales pop up a lot in video games, and as you might have noticed, they often have amazing background music.  For Episode 74, Brent and Rob searched far and wide for some of the best Asiatic tracks around, and they came back with souvenirs from all the major console cultures of the 8-bit and 16-bit era -even the arcade scene!  So come and sample this amazing buffet of tunes from the Far East... and yes, you can invite your samurai hype man as a plus one.

Episode 203: Tim Follin

The Legacy Music Hour finally does a focus on the music of Tim Follin, and more importantly, finally does an interview with Tim Follin himself.  The interview was originally set to happen back in 2011, but for one reason or another, it didn’t happen until now.  Lots of interesting stuff here as well as some clarification regarding composer credits.  Thank you to Tim Follin for taking the time to speak to Brent and Rob and providing insight regarding his work.  Track listing below.
