LMH Mixtape #101: Free Play 10.1

Episode 101 was the first in a small cascade of free plays leading up to the Legacy Music Hour's second anniversary celebration.  Enjoy the extra legroom as the boizz suspend the theme requirements and drift wherever the waters take them!  Extra trivia: the original recording of this episode may have contained the first discussion of the mixtape idea, as suggested by user Big Mike.

LMH Mixtape #100: Free Play 10

As the mixtapes finally reach their centennial, let's pause for a moment to wax nostalgic over the Legacy Music Hour's legacy and what it's meant to the listeners.  For many of us, LMH was the first VGM podcast to hit out eardrums; over time we became so attached to Brent and Rob's weekly banter that the announcement of their "final episode" in 2013 caused a mild panic.  Scads of Users were inspired to fill the void with their own creative projects, trying to keep the LMH spirit alive with tribute blogs, multiple offshoot podcasts, and even these mixtapes themselves.  When the show triumphantly returned to the air in 2014, it was in no small part due to the help of two more Users, Gabe and Trevor, who have been an indispensable part of the team ever since.

So, as you reminisce about all these things and more over tracks from the Legacy Music Hour’s first ever live recording, think of the extraordinary dedication of the boizz -- and the incredible community that sprung up around them -- that has kept this podcast running for nearly a decade.  Boizz, Staff, and Users... we salute you.

Episode 216: Beyond 16-Bit 5

Another beyond fourth generation focus.  Due to a power outage, Rob wasn’t able to join, so it’s just Brent and Gabe and a bit of Trevor too.  And because Rob wasn’t playing tracks on this episode, that means more tracks for Gabe, which means, instead of Gabe’s Corner, it’s the Gabe Interjection.  Full track listing below.
