Episode 56 - Rando Calrissian and the Dastardly Dendy Device

By Shujin Academy VGM Club on Jan 16, 2025 12:02 pm UTC

Rando Calrissian had just docked at the megacasino on Humora Gamma, where he’d planned on relaxing with some drinks and winning a few jackpots at the rellack table. But when a mad scientist’s experimental new starship engine gets sabotaged, Rando’s thrust into a tangled grab bag of VGM tracks that may prove fatal!

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.
• The fine folks at Penny Arcade for coining the name "Rando Calrissian" in a long-ago strip. You can find them at https://www.penny-arcade.com/.

If you’re listening on Spotify, please be aware that they’ve pulled a few of my episodes before.

Episode 154: Why So Peculiar! (Peculiar People Week)

By RE-VGM on Jan 10, 2025 8:03 am UTC

The Episodes Earthworm Jim Glover I Am Bread peculiar Peculiar People Day vgm

Strange, unusual, weird… these words often describe someone who is peculiar. They are known to walk to the beat of their drum and make life abnormal, but at one time, these people were considered set apart from the rest of the crowd, as called by God. There was even a Christian movement called “The Peculiar People”, founded on two verse from the Bible, Deuteronomy 14:2 and 1 Peter 2:9.

This week, we’re celebrating Peculiar People Day on January 10th, with tracks from video games with peculiar characters: a common worm turned hero, a magical glove saving the kingdom, and a slice of bread trying to get toasted. There’s also covers and remixes with each original track.

Whether or not you are peculiar, today is a day to appreciate the individual nature of people who are willing to step out of the comfort zone…

Music Block Runtime: 02:31:58 / Total Episode Runtime: 02:51:01

Our customary Channel 1 intro and outro music, which did not appear today is Funky Radio, from Jet Grind Radio, on the Sega Dreamcast - composed by BB Rights. Our special year-in-review intro and outro music are, respectively, Results Theme from Metroid Prime on the GameCube, composed by Kenji Yamamoto, and Results Parade, from the Check Mii Out Channel on the Wii, composed by Kazumi Totaka.

Produced using a nearly equal mix of Audacity and Ardour in Fedora Linux on an ASUS ROG Zephyrus 14 (2023) laptop with perhaps a little support from a Dell Latitude 7480 (also running Fedora Linux) or the Steam Deck (running Steam OS). 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!

You can also find all of our audio episodes on https://archive.org/details/@nerd_noise_radio as well as the occasional additional release only available there, such as remixes of previous releases and other content.

Our YouTube Channel, for the time being is in dormancy, but will be returning with content, hopefully, in 2022. Meanwhile, all the old stuff is still there, and can be found here:

Episode 153: Sleepy Time (Festival of Sleep Day)

By RE-VGM on Jan 3, 2025 8:03 am UTC

The Episodes Festival of Sleep Day Slay the Spire sleep Tetris Effect Connected Vampire Survivors vgm

After partying hard on New Year’s Eve and Day, a rest is surely deserved. In fact, there’s a day for that, called the Festival of Sleep Day, celebrated on January 3rd every year.

Sleep can have some wonderful effects on the body: it lowers the blood pressure, regulates blood sugar, helps one solve a problem the next, relieve stress, and maintain weight. A lack of sleep, though, can cause heart attacks, heart failure, irregular heartbeats, high blood pressure, stroke, or diabetes. There are some that are able to function with about four hours of sleep, while some need eight or more hours to ensure the maximum benefit.

For this week’s first episode of 2025, we’re playing tracks from video games that may help you fall asleep (according to an article on the internet): falling shapes set to music, climbing a spire, and surviving a mob of pixelated monsters. There’s also covers and remixes to follow each original track.

Enjoy the episode, whether you plan to fall asleep to these tracks or my monotone voice…

[Ch 2] Nerd Noise Game Club - C2F: “Finally our Final Finale” (the grand finale)

By Nerd Noise Radio on Dec 28, 2024 7:46 pm UTC

Well, this is it, folks - our very last episode of Channel 2, taking a long….VERRRRRRY LONG last look back through the entirety of our show’s history, and featuring at least one track from every single episode! This episode really is obscenely long - just shy of 5 ½ hours! But it covers so much history, and is our way of putting a bow on everything. So we hope you will stick with us for the entire thing! Presented in a hybrid-format of Ch 2-style talkie portions and Ch 1-style mini-mixtapes, and broken up by season.

And speaking of anniversaries, today’s episode is dedicated to the memory of Chris Chandler, a name that longtime listeners of the show will recognize. This episode releases on the 8yr anniversary of his passing. For the curious, here was the great big special we did for him on the occasion of what would’ve been his 40th birthday in July of 2019 - called “Chandlerfest”: https://nerdnoiseradio.podbean.com/e/nerd-noise-radio-reruns-presents-chandlerfest/

Join us again (probably early January) for C1R7 - “The Best of 2024”, and again, later in January for C1E91 - a Mishmash Monday originally planned for November of this year, but pushed back to make room for Hugues’ twin episodes! Delicious VGM on Noise from the Hearts of Nerds! And wherever you are…..Fly the N!

Episode 152: The Cake of Fruit (National Fruitcake Day)

By RE-VGM on Dec 27, 2024 8:03 am UTC

The Episodes fruitcake National Fruitcake Day Portal The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild vgm

Ah, the fruitcake, one of the holiday desserts that brings a smile to fans, a laugh to certain people, and a moan of pain to those receiving it. Because of how the cake is preserved, the fruitcake has also been family heirloom, passed down several generations, with some families having a sample of it each year.

This week, we’re celebrating National Fruitcake Day on December 27th, with tracks from video games that have fruitcake or an enduring treat: a lone warrior who awakens to a devastated world, a test subject told they will be reward with a delightful treat, and a common person who finds out their destiny lies with dragons. We also have covers and remixes to follow each of these tracks.

Episode 150: Rooting for the underdog (National Underdog Day)

By RE-VGM on Dec 20, 2024 8:03 am UTC

The Episodes A Plague Tale: Innocence Amnesia: The Dark Descent Bioshock National Underdog Day underdog vgm

“There’s no need to fear…”

This week, we are celebrating National Underdog Day, the third Friday of December. It was originally created to honor those unrecognized employees who toil in their workplace but nowadays it’s about those people who were expected to lose in a competition but somehow manage to win it out. One of the earliest examples is David, a figure from the Bible who took down Goliath with a sling and a smooth stone. Other examples include the “Miracle on Ice” from the 1980 Winter Olympics and Rocky Balboa from the Rocky movies.

For our playlist, we’ve got tracks from video games featuring the underdog: a lone survivor of a plan crash, a man who wakes up with no memory, and a sister protecting her brother from the Inquisition and the plague. There’s also covers and remixes to follow these tracks.

Break out the pom-poms and put on your best cheer, as we root for the underdog…

Episode 149: Friday the 13th (Christmas Edition)

By RE-VGM on Dec 13, 2024 8:03 am UTC

The Episodes christmas Friday the 13th friggatriskadekaphobia paraskevidekatriaphobia Rayman Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Knuckles superstition The Escapists vgm

Muh-haha-haha! Friday the 13th, one of my favorite days of the year. Well, any month in which the first day starts on a Sunday, and it is a tradition that, for any episode that is to be released on a Friday the 13th, that its theme include any superstitions and myths. Since December has a Friday the 13th, this week’s episode will be a Christmas edition of superstitions. There will be some food items and a worn accessory.

In turn, we’ve got some original from video games that are (somewhat) related to this items: a prisoner planning a jailbreak, a disembodied hero trying to retrieve a sacred item, and a blue hedgehog running fast. We also have some covers and remixes to follow each original track.

So, prepare the mince pie and plums and ensure your shoes are comfortable as you listen and learn some holiday superstitions…

Episode 54 1/2 - ????

By Shujin Academy VGM Club on Dec 12, 2024 12:00 pm UTC

This the episode, now to hear the strange songs. New time for your listening with Professor Tom.

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.
• My lovely waifu and darling children for their honest testimonials about the benefits of Chocobo milk.
• 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. 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. 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.

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 VGM podcasts, so I’d strongly suggest you subscribe elsewhere to be sure you can get every single show.

During the show, I mentioned Sega composer Takenobu Mitsuyoshi’s infectiously happy performance of the Daytona USA songs. You can see some videos of him in action at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J9ffRgADRU and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nskok6WhqeI.

Also during the show, I mentioned the Four Job Fiesta summer event that sees people play through Final Fantasy V with randomly-assigned jobs. You can check it out at https://www.fourjobfiesta.com/ and let me know how your playthrough goes.

By Pixel Beat on Dec 12, 2024 8:00 am UTC

About: Fantasian Neo Dimension released this past week and Nobuo Uematsu has talked about the likely possibility that it may be the final soundtrack entirely composed by him. We take a look back at some of Uematsu’s music, but as we have played an abundance of Final Fantasy themes in the past, and aruably that is what Uematsu is most well-known for, we will instead be focusing on his music outside of that famed RPG series.

Special Notes: The final "regular" episode of Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 2! :-( There will still be the C2R4 Season 4 retrospective, and almost certainly a one-off “Series Finale” in early 2025. But of “plain Jane, run of the mill, ordinary episodes”....yeah, this is the very last one - which makes it really sad for St. John, and also very heavily influenced the selection of his tracks, which bias very heavily towards emotional, sentimental, heart-tugging pieces, and also bias very heavily towards tracks from games he actually beat growing up back in the day. :-(

061 - Sunsoft w/Boin

By CRT Sound System on Dec 8, 2024 10:11 pm UTC

Support us on Patreon for higher bitrate downloads and bonus episodes.

We're back to normal from Megami Tensei month with another bit of a grab bag episode of Sunsoft soundtracks. Boin, who previously joined us for a mini-episode on Journey to Silius returns to talk about a little bit of Blaster Master, a lot of GIMMICK and a little more about City Hunter for the PC Engine. Sunsoft are almost as well regarded for their soundtracks as for their games, if not more so, so we have a good chat about the general sound for these games and especially the influence of Jazz Fusion and City Pop on the latter two soundtracks.

Episode 148: Digging in the Dirt (National Miner’s Day)

By RE-VGM on Dec 6, 2024 8:03 am UTC

The Episodes Deep Rock Galactic mining National Miner's Day Stardew Valley Terraria vgm

Welcome to December, and this week, we’re getting dirty as we celebrate National Miner’s Day on December 6th. The day has three-fold purpose: 1) recognize the hard work and labor of miners and their families, 2) honor the Monongah Mining Disaster, and 3) bring awareness to mining safety and procedures. Without them, roads couldn’t be built with asphalt and cement, houses wouldn’t have a solid foundation, and computers wouldn’t exist.

We’ll be listening to tracks from video games that having mining: a side-scrolling adventure above and below the surface, a farm in the valley, and space dwarves mining the planet. There’s also covers and remixes to follow each track.

Put on the overalls and gloves, heave your pick axe, and prepare to dig into this tracks.

Episode 117 – The Music Of Tengo Project

By XVGM Radio on Dec 4, 2024 5:00 am UTC

Natsume Uncategorized VGM

Returning to the topic of Natsume’s musical history, Mike and Justin revisit one last time for a sort of epilogue on the history of Natsume via Tengo Project. Formed from an offshoot of Natsume Co. Ltd in the mid to late 2000s, Tengo Project is a small team of Natsume’s original staff who have been revisiting the company’s past to remake or create sequels to some of their most famous games. From Ninjas to shrine maidens and even a sort of wild, wild west, Tengo Project’s games have captured a snapshot of the past while recreating it for a modern era. Today, the XVGM Radio guys listen to some incredible music from Hiroyuki Iwatsuki as well as Iku Mizutani, in an era where both Natsume composers revisit their legendary past.

Episode 147: On Stage Now – Jordan Daniels

By RE-VGM on Nov 29, 2024 8:03 am UTC

The Episodes Jordan Daniels piano vgm

The end of November is here, and that means it’s time for a special episode of “On Stage Now”, our final one for 2024. This month, we’re featuring Jordan Daniels.

A classically trained pianist, Daniels (aka Jordan D Piano on YT) has been playing covers and arrangements of music from video game and anime. He has played in some famous venues such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and Carnegie Hall in New York but, as evidenced by his video uploads, he plays in public. This includes wedding venues and anime conventions. It’s a treat to see people look up and take notice when familiar tune is played on piano.

Prepare to enjoy the masterful skill of Jordan Daniels as we listen to several tracks from some popular franchises, such as Pokemon and Genshin Impact.

060 - SMT Month - Raidou Kuzunoha

By CRT Sound System on Nov 24, 2024 10:01 pm UTC

Support us on Patreon for higher bitrate downloads and bonus episodes.

Our month of Megami Tensei closes with a great little pair of Shoji Meguro soundtracks for the Devil Summoner sub-series. These were both on the PS2 so have a very similar sound to what was in Persona 3 and especially the Digital Devil Saga games which we previously did an episode on way back in episode 4. Thanks to Aden for being able to join us to talk about these games and their very good soundtracks.

Episode 146: Donkey Kong 64

By RE-VGM on Nov 22, 2024 8:03 am UTC

The Episodes Donkey Kong 64 Grant Kirkhope N64 vgm

[The audio has a low hum in the background; somehow my mic picked up the noise from my PC. I did my best to remedy it so my apologies.]

 

Yup, it’s another episode celebrating another game, this time Donkey Kong 64, first released on November 22, 1999. This action adventure game places Donkey Kong in 3D, allowing the player to explore DK Isle as he rescues the rest of the Kong family and the island itself from K. Rool’s Blast-O-Matic weapon. It is also one of two games that required the Expansion Pak for the N64 (The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask).

We’ll be playing several original tracks from the game, along with their covers and remixes. Yes, we’ll also talk a little bit about one of the game’s infamous tracks: the DK Rap.

It’s time to get bananas and get down and funky…

Episode 38-1 The 90s with Cam from the Mad Gear!

By Rhythm and Pixels on Nov 20, 2024 10:00 am UTC

rhythm and pixels World 38 Somnabuster the lost vikings the mad gear

Let’s get back to the 90s: hip hop, grunge music, baggy clothes, and the 1992 Olympic Dream Team. But actually, let’s talk about video game music, and what makes us happy reminiscing about the 90s! Cameron from the Mad Gear (the baddest VGM cover band in Metro City) is with us asking the REAL QUESTIONS: Where did Michael Jordan learn to magically harness the elements into his basketballs to save the Chicago Bulls? Where did Aerosmith get all those CD’s to fight terrorists? We may not have the answers to all these questions, but we got some serious jams!

059 - SMT Month - Majin Tensei w/Teeps

By CRT Sound System on Nov 17, 2024 10:00 pm UTC

Support us on Patreon for higher bitrate downloads and bonus episodes.

Third episode in our Megami Tensei month is a lesser known SNES duo of Strategy RPGs called Majin Tensei. The music by Hidehito Aoki is stunning and really pushes the SNES to its limits, there's hints of techno-industrial and early Synthwave throughout that give both games a real grimy aesthetic. Definitely worth checking out. Thanks to Teeps for joining us on short notice!

058 - SMT Month - Tokyo Mirage Sessions w/Nate

By CRT Sound System on Nov 10, 2024 10:00 pm UTC

Support us on Patreon for higher bitrate downloads and bonus episodes.

Back for week 2 of Megami Tensei month and it's finally time for me to talk about Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. It's one of my favourite RPGs on the Wii U/Switch and a real highlight in the series for me which is in no small part due to the music being exceptionally good even for a series that has notably great music as-is. Even though I don't really enjoy Fire Emblem, but the Fire Emblem stuff is more or less a bonus anyway, so I asked Nate from the 13 Sentinels episode to come back and provide some of the context for Fire Emblem that I am obviously missing. We also talk about Vagina Bones for a while because it's probably this game's biggest cultural legacy outside of the incredible JPop soundtrack.

By CRT Sound System on Nov 3, 2024 10:00 pm UTC

Support us on Patreon for higher bitrate downloads and bonus episodes.

We're going weekly for the month of November to talk about a bunch of Megaten soundtracks that I think deserve a bit more attention. Professor Tom of Shujin Academy VGM Club joins us to kick things off with some chat about Persona Q2, a Persona 5 Spinoff for the 3DS based on the Etrian Odyssey series. Enter the labyrinth with us and listen to some nice new tracks as well as great arrangements of tunes from Persona 3, 4 and 5.

Support us on Patreon for higher bitrate downloads and bonus episodes.

Just me and Reese for this one and it's one we've been trying to get to for a while. Sayonara Wild Hearts is an album as an endless runner rail shooter rhythm game and as such it really should be played to get the full experience, but the music is excellent and we had a great chat about the game and how it weaves music and narrative.

Today’s Broadcast is C2E20, for Theme Thursday, Oct 24th, 2024. All good things must come to an end.
