Episode 266: The Three Tenners

Some technical difficulties on this episode.  Brent's microphone was crackling and stuff, but the music tracks were all replaced in post, so at least those sound clean.  Speaking of the tracks, there's some good ones -even possible top ten material to listen to here.  In fact, Brent, Rob, and Gabe had at least one top ten pick prediction for the end of the year even though the year just started.  Full track listing below.

LMH Mixtape #190: Jokes

I'm not joking when I say this mixtape has the goods.  Treasure Castle from Socket features some really cool bells that ping pong back and forth in stereo.  Tatsuyuki Maeda shows off the strengths of the Genesis' FM synth with an awesome track from J.League Pro Striker 2 that features snappy drums and funky bass, especially in the intro.  Also, check out the full episode for a VGM Karaoke track from LMH user Julián (a.k.a.
