Select BGM

Furious fingers are flying and diligent digits are digging. With a patina of sentimentality this efficient episode demonstrates that they can't all be winners. Pick it, flick it, or even lick it at Select BGM.

Get ready for your testicles to ascend into your abdomen because you can't handle the heaviest, most rocking, and newest cutting edge songs that video game music has to offer! Jon and Rich in the Evening bring it like a panther on the wings of a phoenix. You better put Police Dispatch on speed dial because these hits aren't gonna stop at 109.1 KBGM The Urge!

Phobias are like butt holes. Every person has one and they're all scary. On this episode of Select BGM, Rich and Jon have no anxiety exploring phobias through twelve great VGM song selections while justifying a questionable existence in their now middle age. We're giving depressingly cynical a full 50% here at Select BGM.

How bow dah? We're back with the jazzy fantazzy episode you haven't been waiting for. This one is a bit rapier, foil, or epee related than normal, and you'll be thrust into a world of impure imagination where at least the music is good. Sip on some Bacardi, watch the girlies go by, and press down the special key that plays a little melody at Select BGM.

No man is an island, Entire of itself. In this episode we celebrate the year anniversary of Jon's alcohol celibacy. No bells and whistles, no chips or AA strangers with your cell phone number. Just clean, sober video game music representative of raising your horn to the sky, and reflecting on good times past. Therefore, send not to know for whom raises the glass, it raises for thee at Select BGM.

After a terrible hiatus we are back again with the first episode of season nine. Whatever's Clever, so batten down the hatches and prepare for a bit of a mess. Jon Switches it up a bit and Rich visits the seedy side of town where the sidewalks are smeared brown, or rusty, like this week's episode at Select BGM.

Finally, no more season 8, right in front of your face and you just cannot hide it. Don't get too elated, because we'll be back in 6 weeks, so this is the last you have to endure for a while. Not a best of per se, but a smorgasbord where Jon and Rich pick standout tracks from each other's selections from the season. You may find pizza and burgers, or you might find something fishy, livery, or trip...

Wake up, gear up and get your skate on through the rampaging waves of strife headed at you in the final themed episode of Season 8. Jon and Rich travel through time and space to the long-long-ago of "twenty seventeen" and play some of the best from that year of "whoops". Wipe away those tears, break out that frozen wedding cake and fry up a hamburger cause we'll be back for a best-of episode next...

Spirit, some people hear it, some people fear it, spirit, some people just won't go near it. Bobby Brown is as insightful as he is wise, much like Rich and Jon in this ephemerally eerie episode. We play songs of a paranormal nature as we spin haunting yarns 'round the microphones. Breathe in the ionized air and keep your doors locked here at Select BGM.

Life is what you make it, at least when it comes to meat. The dawning of the equinox is a time to fly the astrological skies and lurk in the twisted dreams of your banal existence. At least you don't get ID'd anymore, so tank up and listen to this episode where we play something old from a series, age progress it, and then play it again. Beware of the wizard's tales and jam to gnarly space shooter...

Gilligan's Island, Pee-Wee's Playhouse, The Monkees, WKRP in Cincinnati, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, what do these have in common? They never made it to 100 episodes. Jon and Rich hit a new milestone with the 100th episode of Select BGM! It's a grab-bag mix of anything goes music selection but we'll call it Auntie's choice. A big thanks to our small core of dedicated listeners. We'll keep del...

When that time comes, just accept the crazy vibrations and unease. Let yourself slip into the abyss and be glad you aren't around for when the urine leaks out. Tall dudes who can lift coffins don't care and the Jawas in that other dimension are there awaiting your arrival. This week the themes are of death, requiems, or things you learn in trig, if you didn't suck at math. Are there 99 or 6 millio...

Avert your gaze from the ishy water back up to the moon and let out a howl, because we're back with a beast of an episode.

It's time to hit the alley and get the good ending at Select BGM.

Three years ago, a friend of mine asked me to say some MC rhymes. Well, we settled on a videogame music show instead. When the Matrix glitches, you know you've had too many and should cut down, but not for this one. Reality and screen-door effect merge in this episode as we present you board games, the Las Vegas strip, and two C64 tracks. Tune in and make sure not to plug your analog hole at Selec...

Put some pantyhose over your face and grab the 12 gauge because it's Crime Time! If that's not your speed then put on your yellow trench coat, head to the park and do your thing. Break loose and throw caution to the wind because Jon and Rich just don't care. Speak into your wrist watch and phone in another rambunctious episode at Select BGM.

Show me that smile again because when the world don't move to the beat of just one drum you take the good, you take the bad you take them both and there you have, Select BGM.

When you realize you don't have what it takes, just give up. If you aren't cut out for real life, crush the red pill and blue pill, snort them both, and let the weirdness take you away. This is another Demoscene episode, where mystical geometry, pumping jams, and Hollywood flair bring the sequel you haven't been looking for at Select BGM.

Oh my, this week is filled to the gills with some fantastic siren songs from the one and only TurboGrafx-16.

Rip open your bag of beef jerky, crack open a Mountain Dew and pretend you also once had a TurboGrafx-16 at Select BGM.

We're back in the saddle again bringing you the first episode of Season 8. Rich talks about his geriatric steel wheelchair cruise, Jon gets back into metal, and Geordi beams down a mishmash of bitchin' tunes via his magic reading rainbow visor and rocks the party. The end of the world is here for sure this time and Geordi makes it go because he is smart at Select BGM.

The curtain falls on another run of Select BGM as Rich and Jon select their sweetest samples from this season of sloppy showmanship. Just remember, you can't deliver quality Manwich without the slop.

You gotta farm those License Points, die to learn from your mistakes, and use Spark Shock to put Magnet Man in his place. Respecting the process is paramount when it comes to succeeding at all things in life. Jon and Rich select songs from games where you're only as good as your grind, and where the battle of attrition will eventually pay off. Here at Select BGM we'd respect the process too, if we...

Japanese music reigns supreme this week as we bring you an episode focused on anime. No, this isn't a definitive best of or anything, this is just a picking of things that sound good and making them go, and then of course a random smattering of things that should probably be there. We're not weaboos or closet otaku, so what you get are songs of devilish females, CD jukeboxes from the future, and a...

Staying focused is the name of the game when you claw your way to the top in this week's theme. Put down the ice cream and get back onto the rocky road of life. You can keep a foot in the gutter and a fist in the gold, or you can just ride the bus down to your dad's downtown hotel where dinner is served in a paper bag at Select BGM.
