LMH Mixtape #228: Man To Woman

One last free play before the top ten Year In Review, so get your "tenners" in now.  Jumping right in, pound for pound, Konami/Ultra just can't be beat, and "Maniacs (Zone 3)" from Rollergames is proof of that.  The fun energy of this tracks is enough to make anyone want to get up and move their body. 

Of course if you mention Konami, it's only fair to mention one of the other big hitters of the time: Capcom.  "Proto Man" from Mega Man 3 is a classic track that starts simply with a lone whistle and builds into a beautiful iconic piece. 

"SpoonyBangRide Code (Arcade)" from Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl is another one of those "it was legal at the time" tracks, since it played on original NES hardware.  Its legal status may have been revoked, but that doesn't make it any less of an absolute bonk jam!

Additionally, in the full episode, Sentimental in San Gabriel dropped his new hit VGM Karaoke track, "If We Survive," so it's worth a re-listen if you missed it the first time around.

Some good music on this free play episode.  Yeah, this month was supposed to be a "best of the year" episode, but the schedule got a little confused, so that'll be next month instead.  Anyway, the boizz get pretty out there with a couple of the tracks (in different ways) and it's definitely a bit of a trip.  They also talk about Leisure Suit Larry and, well, really so much more.  You're just gonna have to listen.  Full track listing below.
