LMH Mixtape #227: Youthful Hair

While the pandemic quarantine continued, haircuts may have been in short supply, but one thing that is always abundant is the supply of great VGM for the boizz to share.  Starting things off, we've got some classic David Wise music from Battletoads for the Game Boy featuring all of his iconic style.  “Paint Game (‘Secret Art Technique’) (Wall Painting)” from The Legend of the Mystical Ninja is smooth as all heck with its funky bass and upbeat mojo.  "Riverside (Round 2)" from Mighty Final Fight shows just how much Capcom was able to squeeze out of the NES towards the end of the system's lifespan.  Of course I have to mention the smoothest jam of all, "Unused (Brave)" from Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, which sounds a bit like the song "Come Undone" by Duran Duran, as was pointed out in the full episode.
