LMH Mixtape #71: Handheld Consoles

When you played your handheld systems back in the day, were you the sort of gamer who made use of the headphone jack, or did you just rely on those tiny external speakers?  Regardless of who you were in the past, today you're a fully grown LMH User -- and that means you relish the opportunity to listen to portable VGM tunes through your finest headset, just as the composers had always intended.  So get comfy for an extended dose with this mixtape of Brent and Rob's Handheld Consoles focus.  No squinting or double A batteries required!

Episode 200: Episode 200! (Live)

Brent and Rob celebrate the 200th episode of The Legacy Music Hour with a live recording in Los Angeles.  Lots of fun and laughs and hijinks take place during this momentous occasion with a handful of guest commentators, a healthy amount of audience participation, a few in-person video game music related performances, and even some actual video game playing.  Bad boizz, birth-talk, and baseball -this episode is jammed packed with action and good video game music from the third and fourth generation.  Thank you to all who have supported the podcast over the last seven and a half years.  Note: Just like Episode 100 and 150, the photo is missing some people, because it wasn’t taken immediately after the show was over and they had already left.  Full track listing below.

LMH Mixtape #69: Fighting Games Round 2

Fighting games rarely end after one round, so why would a focus on their music end after just one episode?  Brent and Rob dug deep into more obscure titles for LMH's second setlist of fighting game tunes, so either get ready to mash your way through this eclectic mixtape or go home and be a family man.

Episode 199: Mmm Poppin'

More shirt popping happens on Episode 199 which leads into a conversation the boys have about a slang phrase Brent often uses out in public.  Rob also shows off his new look, which you can only see in the episode photo.  Gabe, Rob, and Brent get into a bit of a debate about whether Sega CD should be legal on the Legacy Music Hour.  Brent and Gabe also talk about how much they love the Ganbare Goemon series on SNES/SFC.  Full track listing below.
