LMH Mixtape #135: Flying and Shooting 3

Episode 135 was Brent and Rob's third time in the skies, and the jams out there seem limitless.  But you know what they say: there are more incredible VGM tunes in the universe than there are pixelated bullets in all the shmups on earth.  Yeah, that sounds about right.

LMH Mixtape #133: Racing Games 3

Episode 133 was the Legacy Music Hour's third lap through racing game music, and it proved without doubt that no matter how many times we return to the track, we're all gonna be winners.  The original episode may have stirred up some controversy when some of Rob's picks were denied admittance for being from horse racing games, but that just meant the boizz would inevitably visit that racetrack at a later date.  Until we get there, jump into (or onto) your favorite motor vehicle and let this mixtape go Bahamas on you.
