LMH Mixtape #118: Power Pad Games

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!

Episode 227: Youthful Hair

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.
