POPULARITY
IMPORTANT NOTE: Masters of VGM Season 2 starts June 1st, and is slated to kick off with Nerd Noise Radio C1E76: "The Big Sound of the Little Guy - vol. 2". To prime the pump of excitement for MoVGM in general, as well as to offer a "compare and contrast" between the incoming, much more polished and measured and matured (and much more well-produced) sequel, and this much more enthusiastic, revolutionary, optimistic, and "heart-ful" example of early, clunky-but-exuberant NNR magic, we are re-running the original ahead of time. I am eager to receive feedback on what everyone things of vol 1 vs vol 2. I think vol 2 is "better", but vol 1 is "more important". I also think vol 1 is more "joyful", even if more "awkward". But tell me what YOU think!! They also each contain exactly one track composed by......ME - in fact, in this original episode, it's even the opening track! Masters of VGM can be found at www.mastersofvgm.com as well as on Twitter and Discord, and perhaps also other places. NNR will be just one of some 20 or 30 different VGM podcasts. So, please check out the entire collection, and give the other great shows some love as well! :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Show Notes: Today's broadcast is Episode 30 for Theme Thursday, June 14, 2018.

Feed will include Channels 1, 2, 3, and any future channels not yet planned. Feed will also include podcasts in high quality, stereo where applicable, and episodes will never expire off the feed. Therefore it is STRONGLY recommended that you subscribe to this Nerd Noise Radio feed and bypass all others. This one will contain all their content anyway. Option 2: If you're ONLY interested in Channel 1 ("Noise from the Hearts of Nerds") episodes, and not in any of the other content that is or will be offered by Nerd Noise Radio, there is a Channel 1-specific feed. But it's hosted on a free account, rather than an upgraded account like the "All Channels Feed" with lower quality sound (mono, I believe), a maximum 2hrs per month of content (so if the month's episodes run longer than that, they may need to be trimmed), and episodes expire off the feed forever after 90 days. It is STRONGLY recommended for most listeners to subscribe to the All-Channels feed instead. However, if you really are only interested in Channel 1 content, here's the RSS: http://www.buzzsprout.com/77944.rss Our episodes will also appear on our Nerd Noise Radio YouTube Channel - just search for Nerd Noise Radio, you'll find us! Here's today's episode: https://youtu.be/73kM8YsRUdU Additionally, there are YouTube Playlists you can follow, both an "All Channels" Feed (recommended), as well as channel-specific feeds.

Oops, I did it again! I missed my window to upload a rerun for last month. So, what I'm going to do this month is share two reruns instead. And not only that, but I will do the same in October as well. So you come out, net, one episode ahead!Since we're coming up fast on the end of the dedicated reruns feed on Buzzsprout, October and November will be "beginnings": Episodes 1 and 2 of Channel 1 in October, and Episode 1 of Channel 2 in November. And then.......in December.....as our final send off to close out this dedicated reruns feed and send it off with a bang? Not only will it NOT be a rerun, but it'll be a farewell episode that shall be EXCLUSIVE to listeners on the reruns feed! Sure, it'll eventually make it to the main feed too, of course - ironically (or perhaps "poetically" is the better word), through the mechanism of, of all things, a rerun. But not for months, or even years. And until then, it will not be heard by a soul not subscribed to this feed! It will be all yours, as my gift to you, my token of appreciation, my way of THANKING YOU for having stuck around this whole time, even when you've known it was winding down, and even when I've missed episodes a handful of times. :-)In any case, my apologies once again for missing last month's rerun, and may I present to you our first of two reruns this month: C1E22 - Mishmash Monday - vol 3 from January 22nd, 2018: early in Season 2. Not a particularly "standout" episode in the grand scheme of the show, but one that I'm still personally extra fond of, and even more importantly, one that's short enough that I'll still have room under the 2hr max monthly upload constraint of Buzzsprout's free tier service to provide you a much more substantial 2nd episode this month, and another early and much more "important" episode: C1E4 - TwoFer Tuesday - vol. 1.And now, for the tracklist:Track#, Game, System, Track Name, Composer, Timestamp: 01: Intro - 00:00 02: Gran Turismo 5 - PS3 - Current of the Times - Yudai Satoh - 02:06 03: Tobal No. 1 - PS1 - Aqua and Trees - Yoko Shimomura - 07:13 04: Fantavision (US) - PS2 - Vs.

4-time Grammy award-winning singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Michael League is the founder of Snarky Puppy and musical director for David Crosby and has just released his debut solo album So Many Me via GroundUP Music. Quarantine found League in a tiny apartment in Cadiz, Spain with no Snarky Puppy projects or major production gigs on the horizon. He found himself with the time to compile the footnotes, drafts and melodies he'd collected over the years with the intent of pulling together a solo record. Michael had the idea of creating a textural landscape with thick vocal harmonies; a mix of Turkish, Moroccan and Kurdish percussion and synthesizers. Throughout the album, League rediscovers the music of his own past, exploring 1980's soundscapes and drops in references spanning from Tears for Fears to Talking Heads.

This week Alex welcomes Michael League, one of the most accomplished musicians of the last two decades. Michael is best known as the founder, bandleader, and bassist for the New York-based instrumental group Snarky Puppy, and in this conversation you'll hear him tell Alex about the band's genesis and musical evolution. Michael tells Alex about Snarky Puppy's “no power chord” rule, how necessity led to him taking on the role of producer, and why it's crucial to never “quit failing.” Towards the end of the conversation, Michael tells Alex about improvements to his creative and personal life that he's enjoyed since moving to Spain, and shares equally important stories of success and failure. Michael League is a 4-time Grammy® Award-winning, 5-time nominated producer and musician based out of Catalonia, Spain. He is the creator and bandleader of instrumental music ensemble Snarky Puppy and world music group Bokanté, founder of the record label and music curation source GroundUP Music, and artistic director of the GroundUP Music Festival. Snarky Puppy has amassed three Grammy Awards over the last 8 years, an incredible feat for a jazz-based instrumental group in the modern musical climate. He has worked with a wide range of legendary artists including David Crosby, Erykah Badu, and Joe Walsh, and continues to push musical boundaries through the endless number of projects that he is a part of. You can hear Michael's new album, So Many Me, here and listen to the playlist from the episode on Spotify. Moods & Modes is presented by Osiris Media. Hosted and Produced by Alex Skolnick.

Rob and Seth talk with four-time Grammy award-winning Michael League of Bokanté and Snarky Puppy about his GroundUP Music debut solo release, "So Many Me" in immediate advance of the release of its lead single, "Right Where I Fall." While the sound of this record differs greatly from Michael's other work, he explains how it also has a "bringing it all back home" feel for him personally. We learn how being in quarantine in Spain and viewing his native US from afar during 2020 greatly impacted the music and lyrics of this record, how he ended up touring (and then recording) in duo format with Bill Laurance, why he has developed an affinity for trios and duos, how Atlanta's #1 Snarky Super Fan Jake Funkmayor ended up contributing to SP's "17" release and a good bit more.

Today's Rerun is C1E27: "Mishmash Monday - vol 4", originally released April 23rd, 2018. Please note that due to the attached ear catcher at the beginning regarding Best of 2019, the time stamps in the track list will be off by a minute, minute and a half. Up against a deadline to put this down for a couple months, I did not have time to update the time stamps accordingly. They're still reasonably close, I suppose. :-) Cheers!

03:45:46 Music Block Runtime: 03:45:00, Total Episode Runtime: 03:46:28 SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT THIS "THE BEST OF 2018" PROJECT (this is a near exact repeat of the notes from part 1 if you read those): This is a once-a-year project that appears in two parts: a listener-picked part 1, which is more or less a standard episode, other than that the tracks are all pulled from episodes we released in the previous calendar year, and that those tracks were selected by the listeners, rather than myself. You heard that episode last week. This one, part 2, is all my picks, and is a MONSTER! 75 tracks, 3hr 45min! There are several reasons that we only resort to that kind of length just once a year. In part, to make it special and an event when it does happen, in part to not overwhelm the listeners and chase them off with it, and lastly…because it's a TON of work! :-D One thing I like about the format of this once-a-year project is that it favors both the listeners and your host in differing ways. The listeners get the first word, with their episode releasing first. The listeners also get first dibs on any tracks, so if we both want the same track(s), they get them, and I don't. In this case, that happened with 16 tracks. In all those ways, this project favors the listeners. But then, where I come out on top is that I get the last word. Whereas the listeners only get 30-50 tracks to split amongst however many contributors we have (in this case, five), I come along afterwards, with an unreasonably gigantic allowance of 75 tracks….that I get all to myself. Also, while the regular episodes are me trying to balance tracks I love with tracks that I think the listeners will like (which admittedly has something of a me-centric slant already), this 75 track outing is my one and only time a year where I don't have to worry about that balance at all, but is my lone shot of the year for complete, wanton, reckless hedonism. This one is all about me, baby! It's Papa's birthday! :-D But, if you ever wanted to get the clearest possible glance at where your intrepid host's own personal musical heartbeat lies…the 7X track John's Picks Best of 20XX episodes will be the best place to look, as all the filters are off… ...well, save one: I make it a personal rule to include at least one track from every episode in my collection, even if that episode didn't have anything that would've otherwise made the list. Taris Apartments from C1E9 likely wouldn't have made my Best of 2017 outing last year, and neither Copacabana '93 from the April Fool's Episode (C1E26a), or maybe even Chill Penguin from C1E26, or Base 1 & 2 from C1E34 would've been likely to make my list this year either had it not been for my hard and fast rule to include at least one track from every episode. On the other hand, Taris Apartments, Copacabana '93, Chill Penguin, and Base 1 & 2 are all at least my actual favorite tracks from their given episodes. Before I ever even approach any of the listeners for tracks, I already have a list of my own made up with a shorter auxiliary list of backups, and even a third list of backups to the backups, so that even if every single track the listeners pick is on my list, I still have enough in reserve to make my full 75. I get my 75 no matter what, but I can also stay completely out of the listener's way in picking tracks, and let them have everything they want. A win win for the both of us! One last note about the Best of 20XX series (and this is true of both installments): While it’s totally a labor of love, not only for myself, but also for the contributing listeners, it is also quite an undertaking for me - and in ways deeper than simply putting 105-125 tracks together! What it amounts to, metaphorically speaking, is my lining up all the statues I’ve sculpted over the previous year, and slicing little chunks out of them to use as building blocks to create an all new statue with the goal of making the new statues resemble the previous statues as little as possible. A good song flow is more important than any of the following rules (and so any of the following are breakable – and were all broken at points – to make the flow work), but what else is going on besides simple song flow management is that I’m also trying to avoid placing tracks from the same episode too close together, or placing too many of the tracks in the same relative vicinity within the new music block as they were in their old music blocks, and even things like trying (in part 1) to limit the number of times where I feature tracks from the same listener back to back (though this rule was my lowest priority, and was the first to go out the window when there was a conflict). I’m trying to use pieces of music that already have relational connotations in my mind to other pieces of music by way of the earlier episodes to create all new connotations with them. I will tell you that that’s much harder than it sounds. It adds a lot of cognitive "weight" to the processing load, because it creates reflexes with each piece that you now have to work against, more or less. In fact, each of our music blocks saw one or two scrapped iterations before I finally arrived at a track order that worked. And as is the case with part 2, when you’re staring at a list of 75 tracks, and asking yourself “what the hell am I supposed to do with these?”, it really makes you want to just curl into the fetal position on the floor! But it’s also a lot of fun, and most of all, it gives me a chance to create all new art from existing art, and all new journeys and experiences from existing journeys and experiences. And so, at the end of the day, it’s all joy for me. I hope it will be for you as well, as the listener, and most of all, I hope that the contributing listeners will feel like I did their picks justice. Each of their contributions, from Jeshua’s three tracks all the way to Purnell’s twenty all mean the world to me. These episodes – both theirs and mine, are my love letter back. As a bonus, for the curious, here is the list of backup tracks from my list that were not picked, and appear in neither episode (some of them I REALLY wanted, though): Track, Game, System, Composer, Episode (spaces placed between episodes to better highlight) 1) Whisper and Mantra – Secret of Mana – SNES – Hiroki Kikuta - C1E21 2) Take Back – Fighting Run – PCE – Unknown - C1E22 3) Aqua and Trees – Tobal No. 1 – PS1 - Yoko Shimomura - C1E22 4) Vs Mode – Fantavision (US) - PS2 – Ashif Hakik - C1E22 5) Superleggera – Forza 3 - XB360 - Lance Hayes - C1E23 6) Van Air – Forza 3 – XB360 – Lance Hayes - C1E23 7) Inside Vah Naboris – LoZ: BotW - WiiU/SWITCH - Manaka Kataoka and/or Yasuaki Iwata C1E24 8) Copacabana - N/A - NES – c: Frank Sinatra a: NES Music - C1E26a 9) Music to Watch Girls By - N/A - NES – c: Andy Williams a: RushJet1 - C1E26a 10) It's Not Unusual - N/A - N/A - c: Tom Jones a: Lullabyte - C1E26a 11) My Way - N/A - N/A - Frank Sinatra a: JackyBoy - C1E26a 12) Sigma Stage 4 – Mega Man X – SNES - Setsuo Yamamoto, Makoto Tomozawa, Yuki Iwai, Yuko Takhara and/or Toshihiko Horiyama - C1E26 13) Password - Mega Man X – SNES - Setsuo Yamamoto, Makoto Tomozawa, Yuki Iwai, Yuko Takhara and/or Toshihiko Horiyama - C1E26 14) Vile - Mega Man X – SNES - Setsuo Yamamoto, Makoto Tomozawa, Yuki Iwai, Yuko Takhara and/or Toshihiko Horiyama - C1E26 15) Challenge – Chu Chu Rocket - Dreamcast – Tomoya Ohtani - C1E27 16) Ice Pyramid – Final Fantasy Mystic Quest – SNES – Ryuji Sasai and/or Yasuhiro Kawakami - C1E27 17) Brinstar - N/A (Metroid Album) - N/A - c: Hirokazu "Hip" Tanaka a: Luminist - C1E29 18) Ridley's Lair - N/A (Metroid Album) - N/A - c: Hirokazu "Hip" Tanaka a: Luminist - C1E29 19) Ending - N/A (Metroid Album) - N/A - c: Hirokazu "Hip" Tanaka a: Luminist - C1E29 20) Sodden Hollow – Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - Multi Matthias Bossi and/or Jon Evans - C1E30 21) Hypertension – Super Meat Boy - PS4/Vita (these versions specifically) - Scattle - C1E30 22) Meteor – StarFox - SNES – Hajime Hirasawa - C1E32 23) Load BGM - Wolfchild – Sega CD - Martin Iveson - C1E33 24) Slammin' Sea – Bomberman '94 – PC Engine – Jun Chikuma - C1E33 25) Seaside Front – Aero Blaster – PC Engine – Kunio Komatsu and/or Tsutomu Okuma – C1E33 26) Game Over – Juouuki – PC Engine – Tohru Nakabayashi 27) Under the Feet – Super C – NES – c: Kazuki Muaoka and/or Motoaki Furukawa a: Hidenori Maezawa - C1E34 28) Steel Spider - Super C – NES – c: Kazuki Muaoka and/or Motoaki Furukawa a: Hidenori Maezawa - C1E34 29) Mechanic Factory - Super C – NES – c: Kazuki Muaoka and/or Motoaki Furukawa a: Hidenori Maezawa - C1E34 30) Military Fortress - Super C – NES – c: Kazuki Muaoka and/or Motoaki Furukawa a: Hidenori Maezawa - C1E34 31) Jungle – Contra – NES – c: Kazuki Muaoka a: Hidenori Maezawa and/or Kiyohiro Sada 32) Surface of SR388 – Metroid: Samus Returns – 3DS – c: Ryoji Yoshitomi a: Daisuke Matsuoka - C1E36 33) Faron Woods – Loz: TP - GameCube/Wii - Toru Minegishi and/or Asuka Ohta - C1E36 34) New Donk City – Super Mario Odyssey – SWITCH – Naoto Kubo, Shiho Fujii, and/or Koji Kondo - C1E36 35) The Cave - Super Castlevania IV – SNES - Masanori Adachi and/or Taro Kudo - C1E37 36) The Library - Super Castlevania IV – SNES - Masanori Adachi and/or Taro Kudo - C1E37 37) Prologue - Super Castlevania IV – SNES - Masanori Adachi and/or Taro Kudo - C1E37 38) Menu - Vortex – SNES – Justin Sharvona - C1E38 39) Chapter 5 – Cross Wiber – PC Engine – Hiroto Saitou 40) Chapter 12 – Cross Wiber – PC Engine – Hiroto Saitou 41) Vortex – Vortex – SNES – Justin Sharvona - C1E38 42) Red Road – Astyanax – NES – Kiyoshi Yokoyama - C1E38 43) Space Battle - Cyber Knight – PC Engine – Michiharu Hasuya, Osamu Kasai, and.or Junko Yokoyama - C1E39 44) Planet 3 – Cyber Knight – PC Engine - Michiharu Hasuya, Osamu Kasai, and.or Junko Yokoyama - C1E39 45) Mentana – Cyber Knight – Super Famicom -Michiharu Hasuya, Osamu Kasai, and.or Junko Yokoyama - C1E39 46) Ending 2 – Cyber Knight - PC Engine - Michiharu Hasuya, Osamu Kasai, and.or Junko Yokoyama - C1E39 47) Berserker's Base – Cyber Knight – Super Famicom - Michiharu Hasuya, Osamu Kasai, and.or Junko Yokoyama - C1E39 48) Dead Sea/Ruined Tower – Chrono Cross - PS1 - Yasunori Mitsuda – C1E40 (originally contributed to C1E40 by Amber Peary) …..alright, and now, for all the regular "housekeeping" stuff. :-) The "Nerd Noise Radio - RERUNS!" channel can be found here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/77944/ or here https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/nerd-noise-radios-podcast/id1191400767 You can also find all of our audio episodes on Archive.org Our YouTube Channel can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/user/NerdNoiseRadio Our episodes (and occasionally, other content) can be found on our blog here: nerdnoiseradio.blogspot.com.

He's the only one to have that distinction! Rhythm and Pixels: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rhythm-and-pixels-video-game-music-podcast/id1061486328, on Twitter @Rhythm_n_Pixels and on Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/rhythmandpixels/ Retro Game Club: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/retro-game-club/id1453018680 Also, should you ever find yourself in Des Moines on the last Wednesday of the month, join Jeshua and I for board game night at the Des Moines Social Club (Adam Huisman from C1E40 can be found there as well)! https://www.facebook.com/desmoinessocialclub/ https://www.facebook.com/events/216681785791722/ SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT THIS "THE BEST OF 2018" PROJECT (these will also be repeated near-verbatim in the show notes for part 2): This is a once-a-year project that appears in two parts: today's installment, a listener-picked part 1, is more or less a standard episode, other than that the tracks are all pulled from episodes we released in the previous calendar year, and that those tracks were selected by the listeners, rather than myself. Next week, you will hear part 2, which is all my picks, and is a MONSTER! 75 tracks, 3hr 45min! There are several reasons that we only resort to that kind of length just once a year. In part, to make it special and an event when it does happen, in part to not overwhelm the listeners and chase them off with it, and lastly…because it's a TON of work! :-D One thing I like about the format of this once-a-year project is that it favors both the listeners and your host in differing ways. The listeners get the first word, with their episode releasing first. The listeners also get first dibs on any tracks, so if we both want the same track(s), they get them, and I don't. In this case, that happened with 16 tracks. In all those ways, this project favors the listeners. But then, where I come out on top is that I get the last word. Whereas the listeners only get 30-50 tracks to split amongst however many contributors we have (in this case, five), I come along afterwards, with an unreasonably gigantic allowance of 75 tracks….that I get all to myself. Also, while the regular episodes are me trying to balance tracks I love with tracks that I think the listeners will like (which admittedly has something of a me-centric slant already), this 75 track outing is my one and only time a year where I don't have to worry about that balance at all, but is my lone shot of the year for complete, wanton, reckless hedonism. This one is all about me, baby! It's Papa's birthday! :-D But, if you ever wanted to get the clearest possible glance at where your intrepid host's own personal musical heartbeat lies…the 7X track John's Picks Best of 20XX episodes will be the best place to look, as all the filters are off… ...well, save one: I make it a personal rule to include at least one track from every episode in my collection, even if that episode didn't have anything that would've otherwise made the list. Taris Apartments from C1E9 likely wouldn't have made my Best of 2017 outing last year, and neither Copacabana '93 from the April Fool's Episode (C1E26a), or maybe even Chill Penguin from C1E26, or Base 1 & 2 from C1E34 would've been likely to make my list this year either had it not been for my hard and fast rule to include at least one track from every episode. On the other hand, Taris Apartments, Copacabana '93, Chill Penguin, and Base 1 & 2 are all at least my actual favorite tracks from their given episodes. Before I ever even approach any of the listeners for tracks, I already have a list of my own made up with a shorter auxiliary list of backups, and even a third list of "backups to the backups", so that even if every single track the listeners pick is on my list, I still have enough in reserve to make my full 75. I get my 75 no matter what, but I can also stay completely out of the listener's way in picking tracks, and let them have everything they want. A win win for the both of us! One last note about the Best of 20XX series (and this is true of both installments): While it’s totally a labor of love, not only for myself, but also for the contributing listeners, it is also quite an undertaking for me - and in ways deeper than simply putting 105-125 tracks together! What it amounts to, metaphorically speaking, is my lining up all the statues I’ve sculpted over the previous year, and slicing little chunks out of them to use as building blocks to create an all new statue with the goal of making the new statues resemble the previous statues as little as possible. A good song flow is more important than any of the following rules (and so any of the following are breakable – and were all broken at points – to make the flow work), but what else is going on besides simple song flow management is that I’m also trying to avoid placing tracks from the same episode too close together, or placing too many of the tracks in the same relative vicinity within the new music block as they were in their old music blocks, and even things like trying (in part 1) to limit the number of times where I feature tracks from the same listener back to back (though this rule was my lowest priority, and was the first to go out the window when there was a conflict). I’m trying to use pieces of music that already have relational connotations in my mind to other pieces of music by way of the earlier episodes to create all new connotations with them. I will tell you that that’s much harder than it sounds. It adds a lot of cognitive "weight" to the processing load, because it creates reflexes with each piece that you now have to work against, more or less. In fact, each of our music blocks saw one or two scrapped iterations before I finally arrived at a track order that worked. And as is the case with part 2, when you’re staring at a list of 75 tracks, and asking yourself “what the hell am I supposed to do with these?”, it really makes you want to just curl into the fetal position on the floor! But it’s also a lot of fun, and most of all, it gives me a chance to create all new art from existing art, and all new journeys and experiences from existing journeys and experiences. And so, at the end of the day, it’s all joy for me. I hope it will be for you as well, as the listener, and most of all, I hope that the contributing listeners will feel like I did their picks justice. Each of their contributions, from Jeshua’s three tracks all the way to Purnell’s twenty all mean the world to me. These episodes – both theirs and mine, are my love letter back. …..alright, and now, for all the regular "housekeeping" stuff. :-) The "Nerd Noise Radio - RERUNS!" channel can be found here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/77944/ or here https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/nerd-noise-radios-podcast/id1191400767 You can also find all of our audio episodes on Archive.org Our YouTube Channel can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/user/NerdNoiseRadio Our episodes (and occasionally, other content) can be found on our blog here: nerdnoiseradio.blogspot.com.

Today’s broadcast is Episode 24 for TwoFer Tuesday, February 27th, 2018, on a program we're calling "TwoFer Tuesday - vol. 3" ---NOTE--- There is a mistake in the tracklist. I was unable to catch it in time to fix it in the episode itself, but have fixed it in the show notes. The track list is corrected with an asterisk. See the asterisk at the VERY bottom of the show notes for the details of the mistake.

Feed will include Channels 1, 2, 3, and any future channels not yet planned. Feed will also include podcasts in high quality, stereo where applicable, and episodes will never expire off the feed. Therefore it is STRONGLY recommended that you subscribe to this Nerd Noise Radio feed and bypass all others. This one will contain all their content anyway. Option 2: If you're ONLY interested in Channel 1 ("Noise from the Hearts of Nerds") episodes, and not in any of the other content that is or will be offered by Nerd Noise Radio, there is a Channel 1-specific feed. But it's hosted on a free account, rather than an upgraded account like the "All Channels Feed" with lower quality sound (mono, I believe), a maximum 2hrs per month of content (so if the month's episodes run longer than that, they may need to be trimmed), and episodes expire off the feed forever after 90 days. It is STRONGLY recommended for most listeners to subscribe to the All-Channels feed instead. However, if you really are only interested in Channel 1 content, here's the RSS: http://www.buzzsprout.com/77944.rss Our episodes will also appear on our Nerd Noise Radio YouTube Channel - just search for Nerd Noise Radio, you'll find us!

And wherever you are - Fly the N! Cheers! *= Track is listed in the episode (and was originally listed in the show notes) as "Snaking Pass". Actually, Snaking Pass WAS used in the original draft of the tracklist - so it actually was right originally, but I swapped it out for Mount Ices, as I felt that track worked better in the context of the playlist. I will feature Snaking Pass eventually in a future episode. As I said, this mistake dawned on me too late to feasibly reproduce and re-upload the episode, so I'm just leaving the mistake in there. Hopefully, it'll go down in NNR Lore as something we all smile and chuckle about later. Just know that I did catch the mistake on my own, and didn't have to experience the embarrassment of getting called out on it in the comments later on. Now, perhaps, someone who didn't read the show notes, but did listen to the episode will, in fact, take to the comments section to set me aright. And if this happens, I'll just steer them back to these notes. :-) Cheers!
