It's been a while since there was an episode of Nerd Music Meltdown. March was just too crazy for a lot of reasons, including ONGAKU 20XX in Orlando and Virtua Ongaku XIII on Twitch. Kent goes solo and reflects on what was a crazy month and how everything went down. If you want to hear how things go from an event runner's perspective, this is the show for you! With things calmed down, we'll work on getting podcasts with guests out regularly. But if you want to hear about what goes into concerts in our community, this is a great episode to listen too.

Once upon a time, MAGFest was owned and ran by the guy who would become chiptune legend Inverse Phase.

You can check out Inverse Phase at inversephase.com and inversephase.bandcamp.com. He also owns and operates the Bloop Museum in Baltimore, MD.
