LMH Mixtape #122: Mahjong Games

Break out those tiles and chow down on this delicious set of mahjong tunes that are, you could say, mahJAMS.  This curated list by Brent and Rob will have you wishing you knew the rules to the eponymous board game not only because it seems fun anyhow, but because so much good music is locked behind that knowledge!

Episode 231: An 80's Christmas

This is another Christmas episode as the holiday theme seems to pop up all over the show.  Another theme is 80’s.  There’s a lot of 80’s sounds and references in this episode as well.  In the photo, Rob is trying to look like he’s poorly blowing a kiss, in case you were wondering.  There’s a also a VGM Karaoke segment at the end from Hammock of The Last Wave podcast.  Full track listing below.

Episode 230: Reading Rainbow

Episode 230 gets a little bit Halloween themed with a couple of the tracks, but it’s more of a general episode where the boizz talk about the suggestive nature of playing pool and try to understand what the show Reading Rainbow was all about.  Brent and Rob also talk somewhat about top full soundtracks of the last ten years and top companies (music-wise) of the last ten years, and those topics will probably become their own episodes/videos for the Patreon.  As mentioned on the episode, here’s the link for the Legacy Music House Discord: CLICK HERE.  Full track listing below.

LMH Mixtape #119: Movies 2

For Episode 119, the boizz (and special guest Jonah Ray) put their drums on another line-up of tunes from movie tie-in games. In addition to bringing us some excellent jams, this installment of the Legacy Music Hour was also the origin of the now-infamous Lethal Weapon reference, "I'm gettin' too old for this shhhhhh."  Can you even listen through the tune without hearing that phrase in it anymore?  Yeah.  Didn't think so.

Get ready to play with power -- body power (seriously, that's what the commercials called it) -- because we've finally sprinted our way up to the Power Pad focus!  The sweet, quirky, and experimental early-NES vibe of these tunes might not come together into the greatest workout mix of all time, but they'll definitely put a smile on your face.  And hey, maybe they'll even inspire you to grab a Power Pad off eBay (about $50 in the States at the time of this writing, FYI) to help keep you in shape while we're all stuck inside.  Stay safe, everybody!

This episode seems to focus a lot on hair.  Brent hasn’t had a haircut since February or March, and because of his longer hair, Rob thinks he looks young, but it’s really because of the lighting, mister.  Gabe’s hair is long too.  Rob and Brent talk a little bit about some past memories, and they also sing the Perfect Strangers theme song at one point as well as Come Undone by Duran Duran.  Enjoy the show, mister!  Full track listing below.

LMH Mixtape #117: 1990

In Episode 117, the boizz were joined by friends and Gamedians Jerry Rocha and Andrew DeWitt for a focus on titles released in the year 1990.  This led directly to the discovery of 1990's greatest musical achievement ("Staff Roll" from Bloody Wolf), which in turn led directly to the greatest musical achievement of 2013 (Andrew DeWitt's ad-libbed lyrics to "Staff Roll").  This episode is legendary.  Relive it in mixtape form and party it up tonight.

Episode 221: Conspiracy Connections

The boizz record in yet another new space this episode, Gabe’s own studio.  Rob delves into some conspiracy theory stuff regarding Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat, and years of things.  Brent even kind of gets into some conspiracy-esque stuff too a little bit, sort of (see comments below for pertinent links).  Rob’s mic is new and has some static issues, so beware of that.  Also beware, at the end of the show, Gabe talks about kidney stones (but this is actually quite a highlight of the episode).  Join the Legacy Music Hour Patreon at www.patreon.com/LegacyMusicHour for bonus content!  Nice.  Full track listing below.

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.
