Rock Out With Your Cart Out

Twice a month, I find the games that came out that half of the month in five year increments and pick out music from those games for a really long episode.

I’m coming in just under the wire to get in on the fun of the Masters of VGM topic going around the video game music podcast community, but I made it! I hemmed and hawed over these picks quite a bit, and this list could have turned out differently depending on the day. That said, I’m happy with my picks as I think they not only deserve to be called masters of their craft, but are also very representative of my musical interests and the general vibe of this podcast. So sit back and enjoy listening to a curated list of music from Motoi Sakuraba, Yasunori Mitsuda, Takahiro Unisuga, and Jane-Evelyn Nisperos. Support me on Patreon! Join the Discord!

Some real bad stuff happened yesterday. I don’t have a lot to say here, but hopefully this compilation I put together helps keep you fired up to do what needs to be done to get things back to at least where they were.

It’s no Illumination Laser, but we’re going with another soundtrack to a not particularly well known vertical scrolling shooter. This time, it’s Airgrave for the PS1!

I’m joined by my friend and Patreon backer, Michael Hughes, to talk about his picks for the 30 Day Video Game Music Challenge that was floating around Twitter in late 2020.

Sometimes there’s no real rhyme or reason for the games I pick for this show. I’ve never played a game in the long running, cute-’em-up franchise, Cotton. Hell, I’ve never listened to any of the music from them either. But I stumbled on the soundtrack to Cotton Rock ‘n’ Roll (changed to Cotton Fantasy for releases outside of Japan) a couple of weeks ago, I knew I had to cover it. Support me on Patreon!

As I’ve done for the past two years (episodes 38 and 54), this one is a tribute to my grandma who passed away February 9, 2019. It’s more for me than anything else. My grandma is probably the only reason this site and podcast exists as she was always indulging me in whatever I was into to the best of her ability. Her house was always a place I felt safe in a time of my life that wasn’t always that. And being there every weekend meant tons of time to play video games and attaching memories to them that are nearly as clear in my mind today as they were more than 30 years ago. As I said, this is probably more for to help me cope than anything, so if this episode isn’t your thing. no worries. There’s a huge back catalog to check out, so please feel free.

And here’s part two of my favorite tracks from Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl! As we’re covering some of the music from the latter half of the game as well as post-game stuff, just be warned that some of the track titles might delve into spoiler territory if that’s something you’re worried about.

After spending a good chunk of time playing Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, I came to realize I actually like the remake of the fourth generation. Not only the gameplay improvements, but the music as well. No longer held back by the DS hardware, it was nice to hear some of the music from Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum as it may have been intended. Plus, I’m always a sucker for Pokémon music being orchestrated. So, over the next two episodes, I’ll be going over some of my favorites from the remakes! Support me on Patreon!

Another year, another Zelda game hitting a major milestone. Zelda II: The Adventure of Link released this day 35 years ago! While the game itself was a large departure from the original, Akito Nakatsuka’s work on the Zelda II’s soundtrack might have some of the more memorable and catchy tunes in the whole series. While this is far from my favorite Zelda game, I thought I’d highlight some of my favorite remixes from it. Again, we’re digging into files that I’ve transitioned from multiple different computers and hard drives over the years. Hell, some of these remixes are nearing 20 years old on their own!

Well, it’s that time of year again. I’ve got another batch of winter-y themed pieces for you to listen to. I thought for sure I’d start struggling to find some new ones, but it looks like I’ll be able to keep this going for a few more years.

Since this is a video game and video game adjacent music podcast, I thought I’d delve into a couple of chiptune artists I’ve grown pretty fond of in the last year and a half. With their second album, Time Goes On, Harvest (comprised of scythe and Kabayama) has shown they definitely work well together to make some really great music. I’ll be featuring some of my favorites from these two albums, as well as a few from each of their own individual albums. You can check out Kabayama’s Bandcamp page and find their music, as well as both of Harvest’s albums. Scythe has his own Bandcamp page with a more than a few albums as well! Support me on Patreon!

Following up on episode 82, here are some of my favorite remixes from A Link to the Past. Some of these, much like the remixes on the ROWYCO on The Legend of Zelda, I’ve had kicking around on various hard drives and devices over the last 20 years. Others are more recent remixes, or, at least recent to me as I’d only found them recently. Enjoy! Support me on Patreon!

The Rock Out With Your Cart Out Dream Events are normally reserved for our Patreon backers at the $3 a month and up tier. But in the spirit of giving thanks and all that, I thought I’d throw this one out there for you. Hopefully hearing this and knowing what you’ll get twice a month will entice to kick in a few bucks so you get all these episodes and also get them in a higher quality audio rate than you’ll get here on the free feed! So what I do on these bonus episodes? Twice a month, I go through the games that came out that half of the month in five year increments, pick out some games, and then pick out some music from those games. For this epsiode, we’ve got games that came out in the last half of November in 1986, 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006, 2011, and 2016.

We go from one important game celebrating a big anniversary to another. This time, it’s The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past turning 30 years old. We’ll be listening to the soundtrack for the game by itself since there’s a lot more to it than there was for the original The Legend of Zelda. Instead of putting my favorite remixes into this episode, there’ll be another episode later this week where I’ve compiled a bunch of my favorite remixes for it.

It’s a little surreal to say this, but Halo: Combat Evolved turns 20 years old today. Not only is the original Halo one of the most important releases to ever come out, but, on a more personal note, it’s really the only first-person shooter with a soundtrack that’s ever stuck with me. So, to celebrate this momentous release, we’re going to listen to my favorite music from Halo: Combat Evolved! Support me on Patreon!

We’re digging into the soundtrack for the Konami shooter that time forgot, Space Manbow. With music by Yuji Takenouchi, , Tsuyoshi Sekito, and Michiru Yamane, you can’t go wrong.
