In this episode of Bring the Pain, I decided to kick it old school and do a VGM podcast about one of my favorite video game series, Ninja Gaiden. This fast-paced side-scroller had some of my fondest memories with my friends and my brother Tom. Ninja Gaiden wasn't a joke, as many of us who played it knew, but what kept us playing was the soundtrack. All three games could definitely fit into the break beats category, which is the style of music a lot of my DJ friends play. This episode is definitely full of octane from the front to back with a few surprises along the way. It's time to buckle up and get ready for one of the craziest rides you'll go on this year. Have a great day, everyone, and may the VGM be with you.Thank you for the support and contributions all of you make for my podcasts and articles each week.

In this episode of Bring the Pain, I go back to my roots and highlight another video game system from my childhood. The Super Nintendo came out during a legendary time for my family, friends, and myself. From betting cash to marshmallow squares, my friend and I were definitely wilding, which gave us some of the best years of our lives. A lot of those years were also spent playing video games with my neither Tommy and my mom. So, for me, video games were always a way that my friends and I always found a way to connect with. I hope you enjoy this episode and all of it's Because this episode features a lot of VGM music, I'm going to keep my comments to a minimum so that you can relax while being taken on a journey to Planet painbringer.

The song I chose was "Let Em Sleep," because I feel it offers a wide range of sound that makes this song one of a kind. I also give out a little history for Locksmith and how I found him, which has led to me following him for decades. I hope you enjoy this fresh take for my podcast and that you will listen to many more episodes of Bring the Music going into the future. I respect and thank Locksmith for being such a huge part of my life.

How do you start a Podcast?  In Annette's case, it was random.  Not so much about starting the Podcast.  She wanted to do this when the Pandemic hit.  The randomness was about how she found her niche.Annette wanted to do something creative.  She thought about an idea with a friend, and then with her daughter.  She even put in an ad on Kijiji to get interesting stories from people.  Unfortunately, most of the stories were so depressing, and with the type of industry Annette is in, which can be challenging in itself, it didn't feel right.  She wanted something fun!!One night she was sitting with her husband and they were listening to music and speaking about the memories it generated, and how one song leads to another.  That was when Music Junkies was born.Annette started her podcast and invited people, no one said NO.  And then the journey began.  Realizing the amount of work, the editing, and writing, the posting on social media?  Annette decided to outsource the things she didn't want to do.  She just paid others to do it.  :)One thing she did do was remain genuine.  She didn't want to be polished and perfect.  She wanted to be authentic.  And she has done that.During her time she has done some in-person interviews with close friends at the start before COVID became a full-blown stay away from others issue.  She preferred that.  She could offer them their favorite drink and build a really fun connection.  Annette loves the entertaining others aspect while doing the Podcast.  She looks forward to doing more of that.Annette notes Chad and Jen were a big part of the encouragement for her to move forward.As she went along more and more friends encouraged her with their sharing.This became the birth of outrageous questions to even people she didn't know.  And the guests respond!  Even those who were shy opened up.  An incredible moment was going on her first road trip when she met up with Freeman.  Shy guy and nothing of the sort at the end of the Podcast.  Annette shares how even inviting other Podcasters was a great experience.  Multiple guests became interesting too.  Outlandish guests like Tim Langman, the previous escort turned sex educator who was the only one banned on Instagram and Facebook, yet he was lovely being so open.Annette is so passionate about each story, and each song that her guests share.  She's also excited about every new experience and new guest.  Genuine.  Real.  Less nervous and looking forward to more exciting shows.  Yes, there is the good, the bad, and the ugly being a host, however, it comes down to shaking off the water from your back and moving forward.If you want to listen to crazy fun and real stories that include music-related memories, make sure you listen to the Music Junkies Podcast.  It's real.  And if you want to be on her podcast?  Be ready to share and not care.  If you agree to be on, make sure you know what you are getting into. :)  Don't waste her time and come back later and say "I don't want that aired!" Always stay true to your Podcast.View this full episode on YouTubeFollow us everywhereMake sure to HIT that LIKE BUTTON and SUBSCRIBE to our Channel to be notified of new episodes! Please share our pageNew EP is out every MONDAY at 12 pm Rock on! Music JunkiesSupport the show
