Today's broadcast is C1E95 for VibeOff Vrijdag, May 9th, 2025. Today's broadcast will be a one-time-only special twist on a FaceOff Friday, where, instead of comparing different versions of the same track against each other, we're comparing pairs (and occasionally trios) of different songs against each other which either have similar movements, or melodies, or instrumentation, or simply just vibes and asking you, the listener to not only tell us which one you like better, but whether or not the comparisons are even valid, and how strongly or weakly if so. So, in lieu of an 8th and final FaceOff Friday episode, Nerd Noise Radio is pleased to present: VibeOff Vrijdag (Vrijdag = the Dutch word for Friday). See the show notes for a link to a document which will allow you to grade me on these comparisons if you so choose!

"No, there atcually *are* some kickass saxaphones in video game music," Drew said, responding to no one. Yes, this is an unabashed appreciation of saxophones and their digital reproductions as they've been used in video games, all because I wanted to include Edea's theme from Bravely Default in an episode and ended up building other sax-tastic tracks around it. I have tracks from Mario Kart 8, ToeJam & Earl, Street Fighter 3, Undertale and Bayonetta and more. Bonus? I avoided making an "aural sax" pun. You're welcome.

The first ToeJam & Earl was awesome. Panic on Funkotron was a disappointing mess. We accidentally played both so now we'll see who is funkiest.

This week we head down memory lane in Orlando with George Reid, who talks vintage video game music, fandom, nomadic subjectivities and nostalgia for times and places we've never been. We unabashedly indulge in the comforts of chiptune limitations, and the simple pleasure of limiting music to 4 channels with 1 dedicated to white noise. All original arrangements used in the episode by George himself, and available through his Soundcloud page over at: http://www.soundcloud.com/george-reid they include: https://soundcloud.com/george-reid/enya-orinoco-flow-8-bit-remix https://soundcloud.com/george-reid/reddwarf8bitcover https://soundcloud.com/george-reid/aquarium-fm-chiptune-demo https://soundcloud.com/george-reid/droid-romance We even have a full length bibliography for the show - if you want to do the reading, you can find many of the articles and books we mention at http://www.bansheemedia.com in the notes for the podcast. Also mentioned in the show: Toejam & Earl: Panic on Funkatron. (Sega Megadrive/Genesis). Track: 'Funky Alien' - by John Baker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOvKL-bX4uA The Chaos Engine.
