LMH Mixtape #128: Launch Games

For Episode 128, the boizz followed a suggestion from user Ryan and took a sampling of the tunes from games that launched the same year their console debuted.  Not only was this a fascinating snapshot of how the composers handled each piece of new hardware, but along the way, Rob F. Switch also coined that very particular pronunciation of "boy" that we can no longer live without.

Episode 237: Mighty Legacy Music Rangers

Even though only one track from a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers game is played on this episode, the overall running theme ends up being Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.  Rob does an all-golf-game-music focus and so, golf becomes the secondary theme of the episode.  Brent also gets kind sleepy on this episode for a change (because, you know, usually Rob gets sleepy).  Full track listing below.

Episode 236: Beyond 16-Bit 7

Here we are with another fifth generation and above focus with a bunch of really great tracks.  Rob dances a lot in this episode, and Brent does not.  He just likes to watch.  But they both talk about dancing a good share and other topics such as adults (and content made for adults) and the length of things in inches, as well as things being unraveled.  Rob also falls asleep.  Full track listing below.
