This week is a big one. By far our longest episode yet and we're talking about Video Game House Bands. It's fairly broad topic but generally these are bands formed in part from members of the sound teams for various companies, some are more official than others and this playlist is anything but comprehensive as far as these bands go, but it's already pushing the length as-is. Thanks again to Roar...

Just back with another mini episode. I'm gonna try to do one of these every 2 months this year to see how it goes. I'd love to justify doing more episodes a year and I thought that Patreon had stretch goal type things but I guess they don't anymore, but I'm not gonna pimp the Patreon too much though it's definitely a factor in how much I'm likely to do more. I'm not interested in gating episodes b...
