LMH Mixtape #111: Bandai

We've made our way to another company focus, and this time it's Bandai.  This manufacturing giant was not only responsible for bringing us products like Tamagotchi, Gunpla, and Power Rangers toys, but also for publishing lots of console video games -- often ones featuring major Japanese media franchises.  Now Brent and Rob's curated list of Bandai tunes has been assembled in mixtape form, like some kind of musical Megazord (or VGM Zaku).  It's listenin' time!

LMH Mixtape #110: Free Play 11

As pointed out by user TOU-John, this mixtape is numerically special in numerous ways.  With Episode 220 sharing the same publication month as Mixtape 110, we are now officially halfway through the LMH episodes proper.  There are also a lot of ones, twos, and zeroes going on, with the mixtape going live on 01/22/2020 against the fresh January episode's 01/01/2020 publish date.  The setlist even features a tune that Sentimental in San Gabriel would go on to karaoke live much later in Episode 200, and to top it all off, KeyGlyph herself was born on 11/22 -- more ones, twos, and halves.  Basically, if the fabric of reality distorts on January 22nd, it's probably the Legacy Music Hour's fault, and we apologize.  Happy New Year, though!

LMH Mixtape #109: Rock Music 2

Get into your best guitar power stance with Brent and Rock F. Switch (Brent made that up) as they launch us through a second lineup of blistering rock n' roll jams.  16-bit rules the day here, and the PC Engine makes a strong showing -- so you just know this mixtape is gonna wail.  Blasting from your car stereo on the highway: highly recommended.

LMH Mixtape #108: TV Shows

The Legacy Music Hour had previously showcased tunes from video games based on animated cartoon shows, so why not cast into the television pool again with a different kind of net?  This time the Rob and Brent pull up music from the live-action side of things, from American game shows all the way to Japanese tokusatsu programs.  PRO TIP: Listen back to the original episode for some bonus discussions of Full House!
