Episode 245: Cleanly Shaved

For football season and in tribute to John Madden, who recently passed away, Rob does a mini focus on music from Madden video games.  Meanwhile, since Brent has been checking out Famicom Disk System games lately (it’s also Famicom Disk season), he does a mini focus on music from Disk System games.  Full track listing below.

Episode 178: Free Play 30

Soccer and other stuff -that's the unofficial theme of Episode 178.  Rob decides to present only soccer/football related tracks while Brent keeps the options more varied.  Should LMH start naming the episodes based on what the boys talk about, rather than just naming it "Free Play", since they're all pretty much free plays these days?  Voice your opinion in the comments section.  Full track listing below.
