Unfortunately Jeremy's received the bad news that his uncle Ray is terminally ill, something which is made worse when he learns of its hereditary nature. With the funeral arranged, both Jez and Mark use Ray's passing to get the upper hand with Toni and Sophie. We take a look at how Jeremy spirals out of control as he comes to terms with his potential doom, and join Mark at the doctors to examine his "testi-ticles". No invites at a funeral. It's not a date, but it is!
As you may know, we at Video Game Grooves are fans of fancy drinks, and also fans of circle things that spin around and accumulate stuff on them. That's why this episode is PERFECT for us (and we also need to invest in a nice anti-static vinyl brush) because Anthony, Jeremy, and Paul are here to discuss some really great music, along with special returning guest-co-host Matthew Hawkins of Attract Mode and DBA Arcade! If you think nobody's happy in the dystopian future, you've never been to happy hour in VA11 HALL-A, by Garoad (Black Screen Records)! Anthony's pick takes us through the chilliest tracks from the jukebox of the "cyberpunk bartender action" game, and Matt and the crew draw some parallels to Sega CD and other game music of the 1990s. Next is one of the all-time great video game soundtracks, Katamari Damacy by Yuu Miyake and a pretty crazy ensemble of musicians! Unfortunately Jeremy & co can't feature EVERY track from the cult/popular PS2 favorite, but the team picks a couple of special tracks that highlight the oh-so-Japanese flavor. We discuss the music of the series at large, and generally love on a favorite we all want to wad into our lives. Rolling along into the news section, Paul talks to us about the Record Store Day 2018 scene, and we talk about a few other big new announcements, as well as some represses you may be interested in, and... HD vinyl appears on the scene? We finish off the episode with a discussion about our preferences for collecting "new" or "old" music on vinyl record, and we talk about the rationale of enjoyment and also preservation (sell your CDs while you can!)

The Sucka Voice Radio Hour returns with a middleweight episode. Unfortunately Jeremy fell through on Dave and was unable to come up with a theme song, but the guest that's on this week definitely ups the ante. UFC middleweight contender Gegard Mousasi stops by to chat about his upcoming UFC 210 fight with Chris Weidman. Prior to the Mousasi interview, Jeremy and Dave discuss his RDS road trip, Rampage vs. King Mo, UFC 210 and Wrestlemania 33. They finish off the show with the Mousasi. He chats about his renewed passion for the sport, how he feels he matches up against Weidman, if he will hold out for the title and much more. Make sure you follow both on social media.
