  1. I was driving when Tetris Blast came on. I had a one person dance party for the next two minutes. That song is such a jam!

  3. Love the Hitoshi Sakimoto and Hayato Matsuo, Ogre Battle is one of my ALL-TIME fav's. They made my top 10 for the 90's! Loved this episode too, wish I was there!

  5. Give it up to Sentimental in San Gabriel! That was seriously awesome. Seems like so long ago you made your debut on the show with that text about female Japanese composers making you cry. Great show guys.

    I would have been able to introduce that one track too, I have listened to every single episode.
