Episode 300: Episode 300! (Live)

It's The Legacy Music Hour's big 300th episode!  Recorded live in Los Angeles with a supportive group of users in attendance, Brent, Rob, and Gabe brought some great music to share.  There's also some laughs and some bathroom breaks for Brent, who was sick but pulls through, and some chiming in from some of the audience members.  Even a few people end up in the hot seat.  Plus, Sentimental in San Gabriel performs an old classic.  And if you want the full, uncut experience, which has some pre-show, post-show, and in-between moments, you can check it out at Patreon.com/LegacyMusicHour.  Big thanks to everyone involved and the users for all the years of using!  Full track listing below.

LMH Mixtape #298: Racing Games 5

There are so many great racing game tracks out there that it necessitated a fifth focus on the genre.  There's no denying the feeling that a racing game soundtrack can inspire.  One moment can have you on the edge of your seat, sweating out a tough competition, struggling to take first place.  Then, you can suddenly feel like you're cruising down the city streets at night with the top down.  Cruchy electric guitars and super smooth synths are a couple features you can expect with these tracks.  With this episode, you'll get classics like Big Blue from F-Zero, and hidden gems like "British GP ~ Australian GP" from Nakajima Satoru Kanshuu F-1 Grand Prix.  So strap in, buckle up, and hold on tight as we speed directly into this hot new mixtape!
