LMH Mixtape #135: Flying and Shooting 3

Episode 135 was Brent and Rob's third time in the skies, and the jams out there seem limitless.  But you know what they say: there are more incredible VGM tunes in the universe than there are pixelated bullets in all the shmups on earth.  Yeah, that sounds about right.

Episode 63: Flying and Shooting 2

For Episode 63, Brent and Rob return to an old topic: flying shoot 'em up games.  Brent talks about his big childhood crush on Madonna, while Rob reveals a much more unique childhood crush.  Who did little Switchy have a crush on back then?  Listen to the episode and find out!  It also seems as though Brent currently has a big crush on Genesis music.  And even aside from all the crush talk, this episode on flying shooters strangely ends up becoming a pretty romantic episode overall.  You'll see.  Cheers!  Full track listing below.
