Episode 181: Street Fighter IV
The Episodes Street Fighter IV vgm
Today we’re celebrating the arcade release of Street Fighter IV in Japan, back in July 18, 2008. The following month, August 12th, it was released in the North America regions. In 2009, it was ported to consoles in February and later July to Windows. As the first original main entry in the series since Street Fighter III back in 1997, SF IV features 3D models and backgrounds yet maintains the same gameplay known to all fans and players.
For this week’s episode, we’ll play a couple tracks for two characters (C. Viper and Gouken) and two stage themes (Volcanic Rim and Snowy Rail Yard). Following these tracks are covers and remixes.
Sit back and enjoy these tracks as you ponder your purpose for fighting…

[RERUN] C1E86: "The Celeste Soundtrack" [Masters of VGM] - orig rel. 06/15/2024 (see 2025 show note addendum!)
[2025 Addendum]
Our third and final rerun which we’re releasing for July, and third and final rerun celebrating the memory of Masters of VGM (“MoVGM”), and our third and final of my bids to drum up excitement for the “VGM Hall of Fame” (“HoF”) series spearheaded by Alex “The Messenger” Messenger of “A VGM Journey” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/a-vgm-journey), Professor Tom from “Shujin Academy VGM Club” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/shujin-academy-vgm-club), and myself (as well as any other shows which have elected to join us in the time since my drafting this on July 2nd), we look, at last, to MoVGM’s final year: 2024. The Theme of 2024’s MoVGM was a focus on female and LGBTQIA+ (particularly trans) composers. And Nerd Noise Radio’s contribution for this year was a Channel 1 featuring the soundtrack to the game Celeste, composed by the fabulous trans composer Lena Raine. The pride connection goes even deeper, though, as the game was written and designed by Maddie Thorson, who is also trans, and upon whom the [also also trans] protagonist, Madelaine is also based. From a production standpoint, this is going to be pretty close to on par with a 2025 production as it is using all the same recording hardware, and most of the same production techniques, but may not quite match the current crop due to my using less sophisticated monitoring headphones resulting in a final mix which might be a tad on the “hot” side. Either way, it’s a showcase of great people making great music to a great game with a great message. So, we are quite pleased to present C1E86: “The Celeste Soundtrack” (originally released 06/15/2024). Enjoy ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Show Notes: Today’s broadcast is C1E86 for Soundtrack Saturday, June 15th, 2024. Today’s episode is our contributions to the annual VGM podcast scene group project, Masters of VGM (https://www.mastersofvgm.com/). Today's broadcast is the soundtrack to the game Celeste (Mutliplatform) - composed by Lena Raine!

Episode 190: Draw!
Long time co-host Windy joins the show to dish out some pain--I mean, pleasant music! Yes, that’s it.Episode 180: The Iron Horse (National Motorcycle Day)
The Episodes Biker Mice from Mars Hang-On iron horse motorcycle National Motorcycle Day Road Rash vgm
The open road lays ahead of you. You look far down the lane and then mount your two-wheeled stallion. With a turn of the key, the beast between your lets roars to life. You twist the handle, coaxing its combustible instincts, and then, after kicking up the stand, you accelerate your way onto the road. The wind rushes about you as the sun bears its heat…
Today, on the second Friday of July, we’re celebrating National Motorcycle Day, to honor this vehicle that has become a symbol of freedom of the road and power among other riders. What started out as a wooden bicycle with an engine mounted on rubber blocks has become a complicated metallic cycle with a powerful engine.
We’ll be playing tracks from video games that feature motorcycles: a race that leans into the turns, a rash of racers trying to knock each other out, and a group of mice in a race for their planet. There’ll also be some rocking covers and remixes to follow each track.
So, mount the saddle, kick up the stand, start and rev the engines, and let’s ride!!!

[RERUN] C2E13: "Songs of the Unsung" [Masters of VGM] - orig rel. 06/01/2023 (see 2025 show note addendum!)
[2025 Addendum….sorry for the long-winded] Our second of three reruns which we’re releasing for July, and second of three reruns celebrating the memory of Masters of VGM (“MoVGM”), and the second of three of my bids to drum up excitement for the “VGM Hall of Fame” (“HoF”) series spearheaded by Alex “The Messenger” Messenger of “A VGM Journey” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/a-vgm-journey), Professor Tom from “Shujin Academy VGM Club” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/shujin-academy-vgm-club), and myself (as well as any other shows which have elected to join us in the time since my drafting this on July 2nd) is just one of, this time, four contributions we made to the series that year. I’ll share links to the other three below, as well as two other bonus links which are acutely relevant to two of them (as well as to C1E96, our “fresh episode” from last month). The Theme of 2023’s MoVGM was sort of the opposite of the year prior. 2022’s theme was a celebration of “big named composers”, like Yuzo Koshiro or Nobuo Uematsu, or The Follin Brothers and so on. Names that probably EVERYBODY already knows, 2023’s theme was “unsung and undersung composers”. Names that were not nearly as well-known as they should be. And so, our Channel 2 contribution followed the same format and design philosophy of our 2022, only with the opposite theme. It’s a little longer, though, because in addition to the same “four and four” as before, we added a ninth and final pair - tracks by unknown composers”. Production notes on this episode relative to the 2022 rerun: by this time, two major changes had happened: 1) I had upgraded from the $100 RODE Podmic I had been using to the current $400 Shure SM7B that I use today, and 2) I had started actively editing out “Umm”s from our conversation. I can’t guarantee that I caught every single one of them. But they’ll certainly be much less present and much less invasive. It still won't rise to the level of a 2025 production (and sounds a little worse with the SM7B’s presence boost turned on at the time, which I’ve since turned off), but it comes appreciably closer than C2E8. Links to the other 2023 Nerd Noise Radio MoVGM contributions: C1E76: “The Big Sound of the Little Guy - vol. 2” (originally released 06/01/2023 - the episode which kicked off MoVGM 2023 at large): https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/ch-1-noise-from-the-hearts-of-nerds-c1e76-the-big-sound-of-the-little-guy--vol-2
Ch F: “Highlights from ‘Stray’” (originally released 06/29/2023): https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/channel-f-highlights-fromstray-masters-of-vgm
Ch F: Composer Mini-Focus: rayjkayj (originally released 07/26/2023 - also, this might’ve been the final MoVGM 2023 episode as well, meaning, I might’ve gotten to provide both “bookends” to that year’s celebration!) https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/channel-f-composer-minifocus-rayjkayj-masters-of-vgm
Lastly, two bonus links which relate to the above: 1) C1E30: Big Sound of the Little Guy - vol. 1 (originally released 09/14/2018 - apologies for the atrocious production quality and anemic intro, but the music collection itself is GREAT!) - not only is this obviously relevant to C1E76 above, but it’s also relevant to last month’s C1E96, which was (unofficially, but for all intents and purposes) “Big Sound of the Little Guy vol 3”:
2) C1E73: “UNKAYJ THE RAYJ” (originally released ) - guest-hosted by rayjkayj himself, the above minifocus on rayjkayj was comprised of outtakes from this original episode: https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/ch-1-noise-from-the-hearts-of-nerds-c1e73-unkayj-the-rayj
…and with that, I’ll leave you with C2E13: “Songs of the Unsung” (originally released 07/06/2023) - a title which I came up with, and if we’re being honest, I’m probably WAY too proud of!). :-D Enjoy!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Show Notes:
Today’s broadcast, for Theme Thursday, July 6th, 2023 is an episode of the Masters of VGM - season 2 (www.mastersofvgm.com) and is a focus on music from unsung and undersung composers - on an episode we’re calling “Songs of the Unsung”.

Episode 179: Independence Day
The Episodes Command & Conquer: Red Alert Fourth of July Independence Day Sid Meier's Colonization vgm Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
Today, on the Fourth of July, we are celebrating Independence Day properly…
Well, on Episode 22, we celebrated the Fourth of July with video games about America in some form. This year, we’re celebrating with video games that highlight independence and freedom: a colony sailing to the New World, Allied Forces fighting against power-hungry regime, and a one-man army up fighting to take back America. Of course, we’ve got covers and remixes to follow each track.
Fire up the grill, cook up some burgers and hot dogs, and enjoy the music freely…

[RERUN] C2E8: "Our Four Favorites" [Masters of VGM] - orig rel. 06/30/2022 (see 2025 show note addendum!)
[2025 Addendum….sorry for the ultra long-winded] Normally, we only share one rerun a month at Nerd Noise Radio. But due to the confluence of a) our having missed the May rerun completely, b) our not getting a June rerun out until the very end of the month, and c) a very important thematic connection to an event currently happening in the VGM podcast scene this month, I’m releasing…..not one……not two……not four…..but THREE reruns in July! From 2022 through 2024, the greater VGM podcast community participated in a glorious group experiment called “Masters of VGM” (or “MoVGM” for short - I think I might’ve even been the one to coin the shorthand…..maybe), where a master theme was decided upon by the community, and then every participating podcast would do an episode, or a handful of episodes in keeping with the crowdsourced theme. Nerd Noise Radio participated all three years - with a Channel 2 in 2022, a Channel 1 in 2024, and in 2023, with a whopping FOUR installments where we had a Channel 1, a Channel 2, and two Channel Fs. Channel F, for the new faces in the crowd is our mechanism for betas, and bonuses, and things which just don’t fit the mold for a regular episode. Channel F is “format agnostic” and does not have any sort of regular release cadence whatsoever. So, “F-isodes” as I call them (and am probably WAY too proud of myself for that), can be just whatever, and come out just whenever. The people who devised and oversaw MoVGM have largely significantly reduced their presence in the podcast scene over the past couple years, and so had elected to not continue MoVGM into 2025. However, a handful of us, Alex “The Messenger” Messenger of “A VGM Journey” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/a-vgm-journey), Professor Tom from “Shujin Academy VGM Club” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/shujin-academy-vgm-club), and myself have decided that, while not formally reviving MoVGM, we were going to do something of our own, in that same spirit. While the name hasn’t been officially finalized as of this writing on July 2nd, and could still change, the “working title” (that will very likely become the final title), which was proposed by Professor Tom is “VGM Hall of Fame” I’ll go ahead and dub it “HoF” for short. Naturally, we’re trying to also inspire other podcasters to join us so that it is not just we three, but at the very, very least, there will be an HoF episode from all of us on the theme of “a soundtrack that belongs in a theoretical “VGM Hall of Fame” (hence the name). Nerd Noise Radio’s contribution to this will be a Channel 1 featuring the Super Metroid soundtrack (C1E97). If I have the time, and the mental energy, I might also supplement this with an F-isode on a much more obscure soundtrack that begs to enjoy greater awareness and celebration (Lucid 9, if it ends up happening). One other major difference between HoF and MoVGM is that MoVGM occurred in June (2023 was so big that it extended into July) where HoF will occur in July. We all wanted to do this in June, but we were all too deep into production of our respective June content at the time that we all agreed to just push it back to July instead. Anyway, over the river and through the woods, to the point I *FINALLY* get: in a bid to not only help draw extra attention to HoF and hopefully drum up a little excitement for it, among both listeners as well as other podcasters, especially prospective participants, as well as to simply celebrate some of the glory that was this remarkable moment in time for a community, this month, I will rerun our 2022 MoVGM contribution, our 2023 Channel 2 contribution, which was a sort of “spiritual sequel” to our 2022 outing (with links to our other 2023 contributions in that rerun’s show notes), and finally, to our 2024 offering. And naturally, we’ll start with 2022. The theme of 2022 was “which composers would you put on your ‘VGM Mount Rushmore’”? So everyone was to pick four composers. Since Ch 2 was Hugues and I, rather than picking just two, we each picked four for a grand total, of course, of eight, and then did a thing where we each picked one track from each of the eight composers (one each for our own composers, as well as one each for the other guys’ composers). With this being a 2022 production, all the usual caveats about production quality differences and deficiencies. Between a lesser mic and less fully developed production techniques, the sound quality will not be up to the standards of a 2025 episode (I also hadn’t started editing out the “umms” yet….apologies for that!). But it’s still pretty decent. Certainly decent enough that it doesn’t really feel like a barrier to enjoyment like, say, a 2018, or especially 2017 episode would be. And so, without further ado: our first of three reruns this month, the first of three to celebrate the memory of MoVGM as well as hopefully whet people’s appetites for HoF: C2E8: “Our Four Favorites” - originally released 06/30/2022.
Enjoy!

NOTE ON BACKUP [bad] AUDIO - SHORT[ISH] VERSION: when Hugues and I meet, we have our Google Meet output recording, as well as each having higher quality Audacity recordings of just our own sides of the conversation. We keep the Meet recording in case there is an emergency with the Audacity recording, but otherwise don't use it in the final episode, and I just align and combine our high quality Audacity recordings. On this episode, however, (a first for Ch 2) we lost a portion of Hugues' Audacity recording, so we did have to use our fallback a little bit. At the very bottom of the show notes, I'll include a LONG[ISH] VERSION which explains more. I did everything I could to minimize the impact of the Google Meet recording in the final episode. But it is noticeable at points. You can find Brian and Kristen Peterson's GoFundMe here: https://gofund.me/1ef0f855.

Mario Kart Grand Prix Tour
[Episode 40] This month, barSILENCE is powersliding through the iconic, energetic, and incredibly fun soundtracks to the console Mario Kart games.
The Mario Kart series hit the track in 1992 and has remained one of Nintendo’s most iconic and best-selling franchises. Whether it was the leap into 3D with Mario Kart 64, the two-character strategy of Double Dash!!, or Mario Kart Wii’s motion controls and online multiplayer, each entry introduced new ways to race while keeping the spirit of the series intact.
In this Grand Prix-style tour through the first four console games, we’re racing through favorites like Koopa Beach and Mario Circuit (Super Mario Kart), Toad’s Turnpike and Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 64), Peach Beach and Sherbet Land (Double Dash!!), and Coconut Mall and Daisy Circuit (Mario Kart Wii).
Get your limited edition gold N64 controllers ready, because we’re hitting the track and setting Nintendo Power contest lap records!
Let’s-a-Go! Waaahooooo!

Episode 178: On Stage Now – Rachel Hardy
The Episodes Rachel Hardy vgm
June went by fast, with today as the last Friday of the month. That means it’s time for our special episode of “On Stage Now”, and this month’s musician is Rachel Hardy.
Rachel Hardy has lived and breathed music since high school, when she started posting videos of her covers of music from video games and other popular media on YouTube. In the meantime, she’s earned an education in music (B.A. in Music from University of Calgary and Professional Certificate in Composition for Film and Music from Berklee College of Music in Boston, Mass.) and applied her knowledge (a grant from Alberta Foundation for the Arts as an intern for Sacred Tiger Music and one of the runner-ups for the Spitfire Audio and HBO’s Westworld Scoring Competition). Rachel first worked as a Music Supervisor for Hidden Path Entertainment for an unannounced video game. She’s also worked on video game projects for several companies (Tencent, Real Game Machine, NatGames, Nexon, etc.) and composed scores and contributed vocals for a variety of media (documentaries/docu-videos, podcasts, events, sample libraries, TV broadcasts, albums, and short films).
Sit back as you listen to her vocal and choral covers of video game music, some in collaboration with other musicians…

I closed out the last music block with an amazing song from Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout, and if you want to hear more from this series, you can check out the episodes of Super Marcato Bros doing a deeper dive into these games. There’s a full episode devoted to Atelier Ryza at https://www.supermarcatobros.com/podcast/2019/10/6/episode-389-atelier-ryza and an episode looking at some other games in the series at https://www.supermarcatobros.com/podcast/2017/5/28/episode-269-the-atelier-series.

All episodes of the show are posted to my YouTube channel, which you can find by searching for Shujin Academy VGM Club. You can email me at shujinacademyvgmclub@gmail.com. Links to everything are available on my LinkTree at https://linktr.ee/shujinacademy. Please leave me a five star rating on iTunes or Spotify or wherever you’re finding this episode. New episodes are released once or twice a month depending on how often I get them done, and they premiere on Thursday mornings on your favorite podcatcher and on 8beats.co, the internet's number one game music radio station. My show is also featured on Terra Player, the cool app that’s a destination for gaming podcasts and other content, so you can check me out there. Finally, if you just can’t get enough of me, I’m also voicing esports reporter Samson Escapades on audio drama podcast How Much in Bison Dollars?, which you can hear on FGC Radio or at https://rss.com/podcasts/hmibisondollars/.
If you’re listening on Spotify, please be aware that they’ve pulled a few of my episodes before. There’s a non-zero chance that they’ll eventually pull my entire podcast, as they’ve done with a few other game music podcasts, so I’d strongly suggest you subscribe elsewhere to be sure you can get all of the Professor Tom goodness you crave.

[Ch 1] "Noise from the Hearts of Nerds" - “C1E96: Full Steam Ahead”
Today’s broadcast is C1E96 for Theme Thursday, June 26th, 2025 (happy 27th "dating" anniversary to my dear wife, St. Jodee). Today’s theme is a collection of music from games in my own personal Steam Library – planned, curated, produced, and distributed entirely on/from the Steam Deck (SteamOS desktop mode)! A collection dominated by music from indie games from the 2010's and 2020's and peppered with music from bigger-named games from the 1990's and 2000's and contains not one, but TWO chill zones, which collectively account for almost half of the mixtape runtime! Special thanks to Professor Tom from Shujin Acadamy VGM Club podcast for helping me settle on episode title. Other candidate titles I'd been considering included "Gimme Steam" (which was the working title), "Steam Punk", and "All Hands on Deck". Lastly, this is our debut episode on Terra Player!

Episode 123 – Prison City w/ composer Matt Creamer
Composer Interviews VGM MattCreamer NorrinRadd PrisonCity
Matt Creamer, aka Radd Daddy, aka Norrin Radd, RETURNS to XVGM Radio to talk about his amazing soundtrack for Retroware’s Prison City game. We’ve chat with Matt previously about many of his soundtracks, even had him on one of our live shows before! A true friend to the podcast, Matt isn’t afraid to get into the nitty gritty details about how he carefully crafts his soundtracks. A self proclaimed “puzzle solver” when it comes to music creation, Matt Creamer delves into the new way he composes classic NES style soundtracks, and the XVGM boys grill him on his influences this time around (Groove and industrial metal?! The Batman and Goonies NES OSTs?!) and so much more! Join Matt, Justin and Mike for a long but utterly satisfying chat about Prison City on the latest episode of XVGM Radio!

Episode 177: Happy Father’s Day
The Episodes Earthbound Father's Day Resident Evil 8 Resident Evil Village Uncharted 4: A Thief's End vgm
This past Sunday was Father’s Day, celebrated on the third Sunday of the June. Similar to Mother’s Day, this day honors fathers and dads of all families and relations. Sure, they work hard to earn a living and at times offers words of advice or humor, but they may feel dutiful to protect their family and their children. Their presence may be felt or absent, yet fathers can provide some wisdom and guidance in life.
For this week’s episode, we’re celebrating Father’s Day with several tracks from video games that have fathers or father figures: a man searching for his infant daughter, an absent dad that can only be reached by phone, and a long-time mentor on the adventure of a lifetime. We’ve also got covers and remixes to follow.
Enjoy these tracks as you think about the dad or father figure in your life, or perhaps from video games you’ve played…

Episode 176: Friday the 13th – Summertime Superstitions
The Episodes Bloodborne Friday the 13th Okami summer The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker vgm
One of my favorite days of the week, Friday the 13th, which means it’s time for something superstitious and mythical. Previous episodes have discussed fear (#15), death and dying (#51), video game superstitions (#92), RNG or randomness (#136), and Christmas (#149).
For this Friday the 13th (the only one happening in 2025, in fact), we’re discussing a few superstitions and myths during the summertime, according to Grok (an AI assistant). We’re playing tracks from video games that have or mention these superstitions: an adventurer able to control the weather, a white wolf saving Japan, and a hunter saving a cursed town. As always, there’s also covers and remixes to follow each track.
Enjoy learning about some of these summertime superstitions and myths…

Episode 175: The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening
The Episodes The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening vgm
On June 6, 1993, “The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening” was released on Japan for Nintendo’s Game Boy. It would later be released in the North America and European regions on August 6th and December 1st respectively, and then the following year worldwide. It was initially developed as an attempt to port “A Link to the Past” from the Super Nintendo Entertainment System to the Game Boy but it became its own project under the direction of Takashi Tezuka. In 1998, it was re-released for the Game Boy Color and then remade in 2019 for the Switch.
For this week’s episode, we’re simply celebrating with several tracks from the game, along with several remixes to follow.
Prepare yourself, adventurer, for the dream of a lifetime…

Episode 62 - A Proper Puzzle Pile
We’re matching colors, bursting bubbles, and clearing blocks with this playlist of songs from all kinds of puzzle games!
There are several links and notes for this episode:
- I started off my first music block with a song from the original arcade release of Blockout, and if you’re interested in playing it, you can play it on a web browser at https://blockout.nu/. (Note that it works fine with a computer keyboard, but it may be nigh impossible to play on a phone or tablet.)
- If you liked the Planet Puzzle League song, the episode of CRT Soundsystem featuring a deep dive into the its music can be found at https://rss.com/podcasts/crtsoundsystem/1917986/.
- While talking about Cu-On-Pa, I mentioned that it was a port of Endorfun, a Windows PC game. I would have liked to feature it, but that game’s soundtrack doesn’t neatly break down into individual songs. However, if you want to experience it, you can find a remastered version of the soundtrack on YouTube at https://youtu.be/6k_hYPfPpEQ and you can hear the arranged soundtrack at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngnpsZf24VI. If you liked the CD-i Tetris soundtrack, you may enjoy these.
- If you’re interested in going down the rabbit hole for the Adventures of Lolo / Eggerland games, the Wikipedia article is a decent starting point; you can find it at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventures_of_Lolo, and you can search around and try to figure out the multiple variations of the series between its entries for the MSX, the Famicom, the NES, and the Game Boy.
- Fellow VGM podcast barSILENCE did a whole episode about Tetris that I mentioned while talking about Tetris Kiwamemichi, and you can find that excellent 73 minutes of game music at https://barsilence.com/episode/e6308ce1/tetris-affects
- If you liked the CD-i Tetris song from Jim Andron, you can find a high-quality version of the whole soundtrack on his Soundcloud page at https://soundcloud.com/user-391016128/sets/phillips-cdi
Special thanks for this episode goes out to:
- Fellow VGM podcaster Jameson of barSILENCE podcast for contributing cover art. You can and should find barSILENCE wherever you download podcasts, and check out his website at barSILENCE.com.
- BokiBokiPixelArt for the show logo. You can find him on Twitter @BokiPixelart.
If you want to reach me, I’m most active on Bluesky as @shujinacademy.bsky.social. You can also find me on Threads, Tumblr, or Instagram as ShujinAcademyVGMClub. All episodes of the show are posted to my YouTube channel, which you can find by searching for Shujin Academy VGM Club. You can email me at shujinacademyvgmclub@gmail.com. Links to everything are available on my LinkTree at https://linktr.ee/shujinacademy. Please leave me a five star rating on iTunes or Spotify or wherever you’re finding this episode. New episodes are released once or twice a month depending on how often I get them done, and they premiere on Thursday mornings on your favorite podcatcher and on 8beats.co, the internet's number one game music radio station. My show is also featured on Terra Player, the cool app that’s a destination for gaming podcasts and other content, so you can check me out there. Finally, if you just can’t get enough of me, I’m also voicing esports reporter Samson Escapades on audio drama podcast How Much in Bison Dollars?, which you can hear on FGC Radio or at https://rss.com/podcasts/hmibisondollars/.
If you're listening on Spotify, please be aware that they’ve pulled a few of my episodes before. There’s a non-zero chance that they’ll eventually pull my entire podcast, as they’ve done with a few other game music podcasts, so I’d strongly suggest you subscribe elsewhere to be sure you can get all of the Professor Tom goodness you crave.

Episode 174: On Stage Now – LucasGitanoFamily
The Episodes flamenco LucasGitanoFamily rumba gitana vgm
May ends within two days of this post, and that means it’s time for “On Stage Now”, our special monthly episode in which a cover or remix musician is featured.
This month’s musician is LucasGitanoFamily, a Frenchman who’s been learning to play rumba gitana since six years old and influenced by the Gypsy Kings. He has toured the world over, showing his ability to improvise his solos. Lucas is on a mission to teach others how to play, no matter what level of experience. His YT channel shows lots of videos of his covers of music from video games, anime, and movies. He’s also recorded his own original compositions and currently released his own albums on many streaming services.
Prepare to be mesmerized and entertained by LucasGitanoFamily.
Oh, and thanks to Rob, Pernell, and Chris Wisner for the inspiration for this episode…
(Note: There are parts of this episode which sound different, and that’s because I found out after finishing that I was mispronouncing the name incorrectly. I merely went back and made the corrections as best as I can.)

Episode 122 – Lethal Enforcers I & II (Same Song, Different System)
Konami Lethal Enforcers Patreon Track VGM LeathalEnforcers
Marred in 90s era video game controversy, Konami’s Lethal Enforcers series, along with Mortal Kombat, Night Trap, and several other games, had ironic targets on their backs for their innovative, realistic (at the time) graphics involving firing a fake plastic gun at the screen, killing human targets. Years later, the series is best known for pushing buttons in the North American political atmosphere, which is a shame because it SHOULD be known for their amazing soundtracks! Today on XVGM Radio, Justin and Mike go a few rounds with some Lethal Enforcers 1 and 2 tunes, comparing the versions and picking which ones they like the best after their heavy analyzing. Well worth the price of admission, you’ll be firing in quarters like crazy into your phone to reload more amazing tunes full of orchestra synth hits, SNES Midi guitar, along with tons of comparison to other Konami OSTs. This episode has its target set on you, time to hit play!
We’d love to hear what you thought about these two soundtracks we’ve picked! What was your favorite track? Shoot us an email at XVGMRadio@gmail.com or join in on the discussion at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/XVGMradio

Episode 173: Life on the Highway (National Road Trip Day)
The Episodes Final Fantasy XV Kentucky Route Zero National Road Trip Day Outrun 2 SP Outrun 2006 road trip vgm
The open road – an invitation to those ready to take the wheel and drive solo or with companions. Destination: unknown.
We’re celebrating National Road Trip Day, which happens on the Friday before the Memorial Day weekend. According to Pilot Flying J, it is the “unofficial” start of summer travel as people pack up their cars and work out their itineraries to visit the places and see the sites. For some, it’s the journey that matters, with good food, great conversation, and some travelling music. For others, it’s finding a place to stretch your legs or find a clean restroom while making stops to eat and make memories.
We’ve got some tracks from video games that feature a road trip: a long and winding race between the coasts, a mysterious route in Kentucky, and a trip that doesn’t need a Chocobo. There’s also covers and remixes with these original tracks.
Gather your belongings, make sure the maps is folded correctly, check the gas gauge, and prepare for a life on the highway…

The Episodes Terraria vgm
Today, we celebrate the Microsoft Windows release of Terraria, on May 16th, 2011. A 2D action-adventure sandbox game, Terraria contains several RPG elements with its 16-bit world. You’ll explore several biomes or environments, discover and gather resources for crafting, and build your shelter, equipment, and items to help you explore deeper and fight harder enemies and bosses. You can also attract certain NPCs that can offer services or sell special items to you.

Episode 171: Europe Day
Today we’re celebrating Europe Day… wait, wasn’t Europe Day on May 5th? Yes, and yes, but hear me out. This date for Europe Day, May 9th, celebrates the Schuman Declaration, established on May 9, 1950, between France and Germany to pool their resources in coal and steel, so as to make war impossible between themselves. […][Ch 1] "Noise from the Hearts of Nerds" - “C1E95: VibeOff Vrijdag”
Today’s broadcast is C1E95 for VibeOff Vrijdag, May 9th, 2025. Today’s broadcast will be a one-time-only special twist on a FaceOff Friday, where, instead of comparing different versions of the same track against each other, we're comparing pairs (and occasionally trios) of different songs against each other which either have similar movements, or melodies, or instrumentation, or simply just vibes and asking you, the listener to not only tell us which one you like better, but whether or not the comparisons are even valid, and how strongly or weakly if so. So, in lieu of an 8th and final FaceOff Friday episode, Nerd Noise Radio is pleased to present: VibeOff Vrijdag (Vrijdag = the Dutch word for Friday). See the show notes for a link to a document which will allow you to grade me on these comparisons if you so choose!

Shinobi & Nightshade
[Episode 39] This month, barSILENCE is dashing across rooftops and slicing through the shadows with the pulse-pounding beats of Shinobi and Nightshade for the PlayStation 2.
2002’s Shinobi introduced us to the relentless, vengeance-driven Hotsuma, and 2004’s Nightshade passed the blade to Hibana, a fierce ninja with her own score to settle. With blazing speed, brutal difficulty, a sleek near-future look, and a killer soundtrack, these stylish action games brought Sega’s classic ninja franchise into the 3D era.
Prepare for an audio mission through shadows, steel, and synths in Tokyo!

[RERUNS] C1E4: TwoFer Tuesday - vol. 1 (orig. rel. 02/21/2017 - see 2025 show notes amendment!)
2025 Show Notes Amendment: I love the setup we have here where on the first day of the month, we released our final ever TwoFer Tuesday, and now, here at the last day of the month, we re-release our first ever TwoFer Tuesday! It feels like a wonder twist on "bookends". As always when re-running early episodes, please excuse the atrocious production quality. One of my favorite things looking back on the early episodes of the show is how "different, yet the same" they are. From a sound quality perspective, the differences are night and day in every aspect. But in terms of show format and events, other than missing the now customary summary introduction, and the fact that they've gradually gotten longer over the years, it's the same darned show that it's always been. And what the early episodes lack in polish and finesse and technique and maturity, they somewhat make up for in youthful exuberance and wide-eyed optimism, and a simply innocent fun. You've heard the latest and greatest of TwoFer Tuesday this month, now hear the awkward first baby steps!....different....yet the same.... Lastly, I had toyed with the idea of doing three reruns this month - today's rerun, as well as the two highlighted April Fool's episodes: 2020's "Backtracks" (where all the tracks played in reverse), and 2024's "Parallels" (where all the tracks played over top of each other all at once). But I had procrastinated, and now it's the last day of the month, and it would simply obscene of me to upload three reruns in one day. So the compromise that I settled on was to include links to them here in the show notes, in case you wanted to revisit them (or perhaps experience them for the first time). So, here are the links, Backtracks first, then Parallels. In terms of production value, Backtracks is dramatically better than today's rerun, but also dramatically lesser than our current works, whereas Parallels is very close to our current level of production : https://nerdnoiseradio.podbean.com/e/noise-from-the-hearts-of-nerds-c1e52-backtracks/

Our Intro and Outro Music is Funky Radio - Dreamcast - BB Rights
If you wish to subscribe to the Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 1 Music block podcast, there are two options:
Option 1: Subscribe right here to the "Nerd Noise Radio Network - All Channels" podcast feed. 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.
Option 2: If you're ONLY interested in Channel 1 episodes, and not in any of the other channels, 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. If this is what you want instead, here's the RSS:
http://www.buzzsprout.com/77944.rss
NOTE: This episode had to be trimmed for the “Channel 1” feed to make it and Episode 3 both fit within the two hour limit for the month. The shortened version is called “Episode 4a” (C1E4a), where the full-length version is simply called “Episode 4” (C1E4).
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:

Our Intro and Outro Music is Funky Radio, from Jet Grind Radio on the Sega Dreamcast, composed by BB Rights.
Produced using a nearly equal mix of Audacity and Ardour in Fedora Workstation Linux on an ASUS ROG Zephyrus 14 (2023) laptop with perhaps a little support from a Dell Latitude 7480 (running Fedora COSMIC Linux), a 2017-spec DIY gaming PC (running Bazzite Linux) or the Steam Deck (running Steam OS Linux). Recorded with a Shure SM7B XLR dynamic microphone on a RØDE PSA1+ boom arm through a Cloudlifter and a Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB interface!

Today on XVGM Radio, Mike and Justin are joined by fellow VGM podcast CRT Soundsystem, where Reese and Tom bring some unique tracks to the mix! The hosts chat about Redline, Fast food chicken preferences, and gamer munchies. The Americans on the podcasts (Mike, Justin and Reese) learn about the aisle of American junk food in Ireland’s grocery stores courtesy of Tom. There’s a Pop Tarts flavor discussion as well as a full on M&Ms breakdown of the characters based on the websites. Is the brown M&M really just Bayonetta? Who’s got the best taste in Pop Tarts on these shows? Is the Frosted Flakes mascot Irish in Ireland? Find out more on this super silly episode of XVGM Radio!

- Drew Mackie, host of the Singing Mountain podcast, which was a major inspiration for me to do Shujin Academy VGM Club. Drew created three episodes of urban music like this, and you can hear them at the links below:
- Drive Into the City: https://singingmountainpod.com/episodes/16bit-driving-music

- Drew’s fascinating blog about video gaming can also be found at https://thrillingtalesofoldvideogames.com/
- RayjKayj from VGMporium for introducing me to the soundtrack for Lam-Mal on episode 93 of his show, which is sadly on indefinite hiatus. You can find that episode at https://vgmporium.wordpress.com/2023/10/05/episode-93-lam-mal/ if you want to hear it for yourself.
- Ed Wilson from The VGMbassy for Scramble Spirits, which he played on the episode of VGMbassy we did together. You can find that episode at https://pca.st/episode/44d7ee05-2ab4-44b1-9470-8b7978a4ec4d

If you want to reach me, I’m most active on Bluesky as @shujinacademy.bsky.social. For now, you can also find me on Threads or Instagram as ShujinAcademyVGMClub. I’m on Mastodon at @ShujinAcademyVGMClub@mastodon.coffee, and my username on Discord is ProfessorTom. All episodes of the show are posted to my YouTube channel, which you can find by searching for Shujin Academy VGM Club. Links to everything are available on my LinkTree at https://linktr.ee/shujinacademy. Please leave me a five star rating on iTunes or Spotify or wherever you’re finding this episode. New episodes are released once or twice a month depending on how often I get them done, and they premiere on Thursday mornings on your favorite podcatcher and on 8beats.co, the internet's number one game music radio station. My show is also featured on Terra Player, the cool app that’s a destination for gaming podcasts and other content, so you can check me out there. Finally, if you just can’t get enough of me, I’m voicing esports reporter Samson Escapades on audio drama How Much in Bison Dollars?, which you can hear on Spotify and FGC Radio.
Speaking of Spotify, if you’re listening there, please be aware that they’ve pulled a few of my episodes before. There’s a non-zero chance that they’ll eventually pull my entire podcast, as they’ve done with a few other game music podcasts, so I’d strongly suggest you subscribe elsewhere to be sure you can get all of the Professor Tom goodness you crave.
I mentioned the DefunctGames.com review of Putter Golf during the show, and you can read it for yourself at http://www.defunctgames.com/review/1366/putter-golf.

Hip Hop Mixtape Vol. 1
[Episode 38] This month, barSILENCE is behind the decks for a mixtape-style episode, spinning tracks from games that showcase hip-hop’s undeniable influence on gaming history.
Hip-hop and video games are two cultural powerhouses that have inspired each other for decades. This episode celebrates that intersection of beats and bits, from classic 16-bit grooves to hip-hop artists stepping in as composers.
Whether it’s the funk-infused rhythms of Ristar, the street-art style of Marc Ecko’s Getting Up, or the raw energy and fisticuffs of Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style, hip-hop’s presence in gaming is bold, loud, and unforgettable.
Grab your controller, drop the needle, and press start on the ultimate hip-hop video game music mixtape!

Episode 165: On Stage Now – ToxicxEternity
The end of March is near, which means that we’ve got a special episode of “On Stage Now” to feature a musician of covered or remixed video game music. For this month, our featured musician is ToxicxEternity. ToxicxEternity has been shredding covers of VGM since 2008 on his YouTube channel. While most of them are […]The Final Refrain
It's been a very long while, but the Battle Bards haven't fully abandoned you -- at least not without a goodbye! In the grand final episode of the show, Steff, Syl, and Syp gather together one last time to share memories of the show, the reason behind the decision to end it, and a few of our favorite MMO music tracks. Enjoy -- and from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for listening these past 12 years. We had a blast doing it.
