The puzzles are solved, the villain is slain, and the credits are about to roll.  You know what that means...it's time for some ending music!  Sometimes triumphant, sometimes melancholic, but always a treat.  A good ending track can take you on a journey remembering everything you experienced throughout the game.  And though the game may be over, the totally bonk jams are just

On the rare occasion the Legacy Music Hour goes beyond the fourth generation for an episode.  But on this rarest of occasions, they did back-to-back Beyond 16-Bit episodes.  Somehow, even in an episode with relaxed rules for what tracks are legal to play, an illegal track slipped though, as "Jewelry (Prize Cue 1989)" from Wheel of Fortune on Sega CD was a previously existing track, not

For Episode 285, Rob purposely picked all Sega console tracks, but by coincidence and by accident, Brent picked all Nintendo console tracks, so it ended up being an accidental Sega versus Nintendo showcase.  Other than, Brent and Rob look at some suggestive artwork and then try to recreate it for the episode photo.  Full track listing below.Download and listen NOWGame - Composer - Song

While some of the tracks in this mixtape may *sound* like they're from the third or fourth generation, this is in fact a Beyond 16-Bit episode (the eighth one to be precise).  These episodes are a way for the boizz to share modern VGM finds that wouldn't normally be LMH legal.  As you'll see from tracks like "Saved the Moon (Alt. Ending/Credits)" from Elechead or "Marsh" from Lizard,

Friend of the show and friend of the Bee Man, Brent Weinbach has a hilarious new comedy special called "Popular Culture" that you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pms_xTDtVc Brent couldn't be on the show due to scheduling conflicts, so his twin brother Kent sits down and spills the tea about the Weinbach family. Come see Brendon do a show in Austin this Saturday 5/31: https://the-velveeta-room-the-velveeta-room.seatengine.com/shows/318720 it might be his last. Only 20 tickets left. xo

Another LMH year comes to a close, and it's time again for the Best Of Year In Review.  Brent and Rob count down their top six tracks of the year and Gabe counts down his top three.  Will there be any overlaps this time?  Either way, you know these are all going to be "Tenners"... or would it be "Sixers" this time?Download and listen NOWMANATREE'S AWARDS & COMMENDATIONSNo

Blues Progressions was the theme of Episode 253.  A classic chord progression used in blues music as well as many other genres such as pop, rock and jazz.  While the chord progression is used in blues music, that doesn't mean it necessarily sounds "bluesy."  For example, "Wily Tower: Wily Tower 3" from RockMan: Mega World features the progression, but stylistically is more pop-rock

The music on this installment of the Legacy Music Hour might be too good to listen to while doing other things like entering your initials, but you'll be alright.  In Episode 284, Brent clears up some mistakes made on last month's episode, Jim Varney impressions are made, and a new design for the SNES logo is conceived, which you can see below after the track listing and in the episode

Dear......my brother.  I hope this letter finds you well.  Please find enclosed a brand new mixtape!  I hope you enjoy these totally bonk tracks.  They include "Mechanical Castle (Inside the Castle)" from Ganbare Goemon 2, which is a very fun and energetic jam.  Also included is a pumped up motivating track, "Progression (Stage 3)" from Final Soldier for the PC Engine.&

A lot of great tracks on Episode 251.  Starting things off is "Unused 1" from Choujikuu Yousai Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie, which features some really cool orchestra hits and a very catchy beat.  "5 Minute Score Attack" from Coryoon: Child of Dragon has that motivating "get up and save the universe" sound that is common in shoot-them-ups, and also features some great rock style drums.&

All aboard!  You've got your ticket, and this mixtape is a non-stop thrill ride through the third and fourth generation of video game music, including:"Prime Blue" from Tenchi Souzou, also known as Terranigma outside of Japan, which has a mystical and magical sound with some really smooth bass guitar.  "Level 4" from Contra Force has that distinct Tomoya Tomita style which takes full

For Episode 249, the Legacy Music Hour returned to a classic genre: Sports!  This was the sixth time focusing on this topic, and once again it doesn't disappoint.  Getting pumped up for game night?  Check out "Prime Time Theme" from Prime Time NFL Starring Deion Sanders for some triumphant sounding NFL music.  "Events List" from Track & Field for the Game Boy is sporting

Some good tracks on this episode, definitely.  And it's not just themed "happy beginnings," okay?  It's happy beginnings and more -such as sad endings.  Also on this episode, user Hammock treats everyone to a smooth VGM Karaoke performance, so you gotta stay tuned for that.  Full track listing below.Download and listen NOWGame - Composer - Song - Company - Console - Year (

Another traditional free play this week, so let's dive in.  We start things off with a PC Engine track "Story" from Aoi Blink which has a fun and carefree sound.  No time to relax though, because next up we're charging straight into "Stage 2: Military Fortress" from Super C which will get you pumped up.  We've also got some classic music from the great Nobuo Uematsu with "Shop"

For Episode 247, instead of the usual free play, the boizz returned to a classic topic: Racing Games.  This was their fourth lap around the course for this topic, proving there's still plenty of gas left in the tank when it comes to racing games.We start out with some classic Famicom tracks from Vs. Excitebike and Famicom Grand Prix: F1 Race.  We then move on to the Super Famicom with

Get yourself a shoe endorsement and put those shoes on, because we're about to hit the ground running with this mixtape.  Starting things off we have "Downhill," a high tension track from Winter Olympic Games: Lillehammer '94.  We keep the intensity up with "Report 1: The Ghost Train Bound for Hell at 24 o'clock" from GS Mikami: Joreishi wa Nice Body.After that we'll get a bit more

Even though this might seem like an Oscar-themed episode, which it is, the main focus is Super Famicom.  That's right.  All the tracks on this episode are from Japanese exclusive Super Famicom games.  And user Jared serves up another VGM Karaoke.  Full track listing below.Download and listen NOWGame - Composer - Song - Company - Console - Year (North American release unless

We've got a new mixtape of tracks as fresh as a cleanly shaved face.  Rob brought a few tracks from the Madden series, including "Title Theme" from John Madden Football '92, which has some very cool crunchy bass that the Genesis excels at.  That is followed by a very catchy and melodic track ("Stage Theme 6") from Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu for the NES.  Your cleanly shaved face

Were you crossing your fingers in hopes of a new mixtape dropping?  Well, you're in luck, because we've got a good one for you.  Things start off on a bit of a creepy tone with a very 70's electronic track, "Ending Theme" from Skeleton Krew.  After that, Tomoya Tomita hits us with that classic Konami style in "BGM 3" from F-1 Sensation.  Gabe shared a very cool,

Rob was unable to make it for Episode 243, but he was there in spirit, along with special guest Donny Divanian.  As always, there's a lot of great music to cover in this mixtape.  Main Menu from Multi Play Volleyball would fit well on an Elevator Music episode, with parts sounding reminiscent of Pilotwings.  Main Theme from Kiki Kaikai is a PC Engine track with a strong Asiatic

Brent and Rob go one-on-one for Episode 281 with the theme being "AI" or artificial intelligence.  Kind of an action-packed episode with talking about fires, a dramatic monologue piece by user Tenek, and a VGM karaoke by user Jared.  Full track listing below.Download and listen NOWGame - Composer - Song - Company - Console - Year (North American release unless otherwise indicated)

There's a lot of great tracks in this free play mixtape, so let's jump right in.  The boizz kicked things off with a Mega Drive Meganet track from Teddy Boy Blues.  While actually a 90's release, it really embodies the fun sound of 80's pop.  After that you can put your mind to work on a little game of Backgammon for the Famicom Disc System.  Now that your mind is pumped up,

Episode 241 was the tenth Best Of Year In Review episode, so by this point you probably already know how this works.  Brent and Rob alternate, counting down their top ten favorite tracks that they discovered within the previous year (3rd and 4th generation only).  Gabe also counts down his top five tracks.  Did anybody have overlapping picks?  If so, the track will appear

Episode 240 was another traditional free play with a nice variety of systems and styles.  We start off with some classic Famicom and NES tracks from Nekketsu! Street Basket: Ganbare Dunk Heroes and Flying Warriors.  Following that is the unmistakably unique and creative work of famed composer Yuzo Koshiro from none other than Streets of Rage 2.  "Look Out (Normal BGM)" from the

The Olympics was the theme of Episode 239, so you'll find quite a few sports tracks in this mixtape, and we all know sports games have some really top tier music.  "Arm Wrestling" from Track & Field II has that iconic Konami sound to get you pumped up.  It's not just fully pumped sports tracks though... "What is your birthday?" from Tarot Mystery is a really great new age sounding

Like some previous episodes, Rob brings a secret theme along with his selections, and Brent and Gabe try to figure it out.  Maybe you can figure it out before they do?  Or maybe you can just dig the good music.  That's not even a maybe.  You will definitely dig it.  Happy new year.  Full track listing below.Download and listen NOWGame - Composer - Song - Company -

Lot's of good stuff in this mixtape, so let's jump right in.  Game BGM 1 from Hat Trick Hero 2 for the Super Famicom is a straight-up jam with some terrific prominent bass guitar laying down some funky riffs.  Against all odds, Rob still manages to keep finding Lightening Force tracks that have yet to be played on the show and Omake 2 is a great example of how that soundtrack is full of

It's Morphin' Time for the Legacy Music Hour!  We're starting this free play mixtape off strong with a track from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (the SNES game, not the actual movie).  While this episode is in fact a free play, Rob's picks were mostly focused on golf games, starting with "BGM 1" from Arnold Palmer Tournament Golf.  In fact, there is a lot of Soldam good

Time to slap some beyond meat on the grill and cook up a sizzling mixtape.  That's right, it's time for another Beyond 16-Bit episode where the boizz get to share tracks that wouldn't normally be LMH legal.  Starting things off is a beautiful and haunting gothic piece from Alice: Madness Returns.  Following that is "Robot Factory (Chapter 6)" from the incredibly bonk soundtrack

This is a very unusual episode.  For this one time only, any electronic game music from any era and any device or platform is eligible to be shared.  So you might hear some modern computer game music or some modern pinball machine music or a regular NES track or who knows?  Take a listen and find out (or just look at the track listing).  Full track listing below.Download and

Radical!  Bodacious!  Excellent!  Legendary!  Those are just some ways of describing this mixtape.  If you haven't figured it out already, this mixtape features the unused Baby T-Rex rap from the prototype game that would later go on to be reworked as Radical Rex, but before that there was the real cool, real cool Baby T-Rex.  Of course there is more than just that

You listenin' to me?  Are you listenin' to ME?  I don't see any other mixtapes around, so you must be listenin' to me.  And it's a good thing you are, because we've got another absolutely stacked episode for your listening pleasure.  "Pokey Step" from the 2016 Famicom release: Kira Kira Star Night DX (another legal at the time track) is a really fun and cheerful track to put

Make sure you don't miss this mixtape since there's a lot of cool stuff to check out.  For example, there's a track from the unreleased SNES game Socks the Cat Rocks the Hill that features some really fun and funky bass.  There's an absolute slapper from Pop'n TwinBee that exudes that amazing Konami shoot-them-up energy.  After that is another one of those "legal at the time"

Like Christmas morning in the 80's, we've got lots of third and fourth generation gifts for your listening pleasure.  "Ending" from Ranger X is a totally cool track with great stereo effects and classic 80's synth.  We slow things down with "Ending Theme" from Kiss Shot, which is a sultry jam, perfect for a smoky lounge.  We then kick things back into high gear with "Rock and Roll

The LMH crew kicked off 2021 with a classic free play episode.  As always, there's a great mix of systems and styles to love.  "Stage 1: Evil Forest" from the late-release Famicom game Moon Crystal is a really great, mysterious-sounding, sci-fi track composed by Tsukasa Tawada.  The Mega Drive gets to shine with "Main BGM 3 (Floors 11 and 12)" from Madou Monogatari I.  This

It's the start of a new LMH year, and with that comes the potential for all new tenners for your listening pleasure.In this episode we get some fantastic tracks.  "Mr. X" from Mega Man 6 shows how Capcom was still putting out bangers on the NES, even for the late releases of the console's lifespan.  We also hear from a Mega Drive Meganet game with the track "Nineball Game" from Kiss

Get your "tenners" ready, because it's time for the Best Of Year In Review (number nine)!  Reaching the end of this episode marks the ten year point for the show, so you're probably already familiar with how this works by this point.  If not, here's a quick rundown: Brent and Rob alternate, counting down their top ten tracks that they discovered within the previous year.  This time

Once again, it's that time when Brent and Rob and Gabe count down their favorite tracks of the last eleven episodes or so.  Lots of great tracks this year, so you better believe this episode is mmm poppin' from start to finish.  See you at the sushi bar.  Partial track listing below.Download and listen NOWGame - Composer - Song - Company - Console - Year (North American release

One last free play before the top ten Year In Review, so get your "tenners" in now.  Jumping right in, pound for pound, Konami/Ultra just can't be beat, and "Maniacs (Zone 3)" from Rollergames is proof of that.  The fun energy of this tracks is enough to make anyone want to get up and move their body. Of course if you mention Konami, it's only fair to mention one of the other big

Some good music on this free play episode.  Yeah, this month was supposed to be a "best of the year" episode, but the schedule got a little confused, so that'll be next month instead.  Anyway, the boizz get pretty out there with a couple of the tracks (in different ways) and it's definitely a bit of a trip.  They also talk about Leisure Suit Larry and, well, really so much more.&

While the pandemic quarantine continued, haircuts may have been in short supply, but one thing that is always abundant is the supply of great VGM for the boizz to share.  Starting things off, we've got some classic David Wise music from Battletoads for the Game Boy featuring all of his iconic style.  "Painting Panic!" from The Legend of the Mystical Ninja is smooth as all heck with its

This mixtape comes out swinging with a face melting rock jam ("Omake 5") from Lightening Force that is undeniably pumped up.  That's followed up by a super jazzy track from 1943 Kai: Midway Kaisen by Tamayo Kawamoto which has a really cool and funky bass line. In Gabe's Corner, we got to hear "Spiritual Peaks (Street Race 8)" from Kat's Run: Zen Nihon K Car Senshuken, which is an

The title of the episode may be "Noise," but this free play is filled with anything but.We've got a lot of tracks from games that are new to the show, as well as some classic returning titles.  For example, somehow, Rob still manages to find another Lightening Force track that hadn't been played yet, and it packs all the punch you've come to expect from that soundtrack. We've also got

The theme of this episode is repetition.  While video game music from the third and fourth generation, generally speaking, is repetitious by nature (or format or whatever), in Episode 276, Brent, Rob, and Gabe share specific pieces that employ a deliberate use of repetition as a motivated compositional device.  Does that make sense?  Full track listing below.Download and listen

It is time, once again, to break free of the third and fourth generation bonds, and venture forth into the land Beyond.  That's right, it's time for another Beyond 16-Bit episode.  Number six to be precise, and there's a lot of great music here to be enjoyed.  For example, golf games have always been a reliable source of great tracks, and that holds true in the "beyond" as well.&

This marked the first episode to go completely remote as a safety precaution during the early COVID-19 lockdown.  Not even a pandemic could stop the boizz though, because there is still plenty of great VGM to share.  Speaking of which, this free play mixtape doesn't miss a beat.  To start off, "Staff Roll" from Umi Tsuri Meijin: Suzuki Hen is a chill and relaxing track that

This mixtape features all of the variety you've come to expect from a free play episode.  There's even a (legal at the time) modern NES track from the 2018 game Nebs 'n Debs which gets really funky and creative.  "Stage 1-2" from Alisia Dragoon makes great use of stereo sound with different elements bouncing back and forth between the left and right channels.  "Fired in the General

There's no conspiracy here.  The connection between Free Plays and killer mixtapes is undeniable.  You'll get a nice variety of systems and genres, such as "Dynamite Guy" from Line of Fire on the Sega Master System, alongside "Crossroad (Stage 1)" from Willow for the arcade. This episode featured one particularly intriguing track though: "Don't Stop the Jam! (Credits)" from Rejoice
