VGDJ: The Official OCR Podcast

[Jillian Aversa]

Hey, just so you all know, both pixietricks and myself have a lot of real life stuff to attend to over the next few days and so it doesn't look like we're going have a show for you this week. However, we'll be back on track next week - thanks for your support! :D
Uhoh.
THIS IS HOW IT STARTS.
The curse continues!
There is no curse. Andy's grandpa passed away. Have a little faith in us, ya?

Is it still outsourcing if the US sends it BACK to Canada?

No... but it is BETTERsourcing.

OSNAP!

Patriotism +1


bahaha that was awesome!

[andyjayne]

VGDJ is down to 18th now, from 5th overall. At least it's still first in the music category.

*waits patiently for next weeks episode*

[Jillian Aversa]

Yeah, I figured that would happen. Without a new show, our listeners didn't get the usual voting reminder. That's okay; we're still doing better than ever! Usually VGDJ is somewhere in the 30's or 40's on podcast alley. I'm still astonished at how far we've come.

[q-pa]

Yeah, I figured that would happen. Without a new show, our listeners didn't get the usual voting reminder.
Not necesarilly...

Podcasty Alley counts accumulated votes for that month, right? Remember we can--or are supposed to :wink:"--only vote once a month. I just think all of VGDJ's came in like the first 2 days. We did have a big campaign to vote ASAP...

Well, obviously that has to do with it, but we usually get more votes trickling in. Some people don't listen weekly, forget to vote because they're busy with other stuff, or are hearing the show for the first time. ^_~

[Abadoss]

So, will there be a Podcast this week?

[Cyan_Ide]

So, will there be a Podcast this week?

Indeed.

[andyjayne]

Five times excellent.

[Abadoss]

Cool. Can't wait to hear it...

[Jillian Aversa]

Yep yep yep. And next week's the anniversary episode! Gah, can't wait.

[Zarggg]

Be sure to have fun without me! ;)

[Cyan_Ide]

Yep yep yep. And next week's the anniversary episode! Gah, can't wait.

:D

[Nicole Adams]

Yep yep yep. And next week's the anniversary episode! Gah, can't wait.
I wanna go. :cry:

[q-pa]

I have my 1st day of work tomorrow and can't stay up late like usual, so here's hoping the new episode comes out before I have to go to bed...

You have about 2 hours. :wink:

Sorry, dude. We never release until midnight on a Sunday, since the shows are intended for Monday listening. ^_~

[zircon]

Can you FEEL the POWER? It's gotta be..

VGDJ Episode 040, now available at WWW.VGDJ.NET (http://www.vgdj.net)!

A mighty episode for our listeners. Enjoy!

[dish]

Wow, a new episode! I was having a semi-bad day and this episode made me happy :)

Stinger sounds like pixietricks doing Kage Bunshin no Jutsu :D
Looking forward to next week's episode. Sounds like fun with the meet up and all... *green with envy*

[Rexy]

Another neat show, I am sure :) There's definitely more content than previously stated, and so I'm sure to cast in my much delayed vote in the matter.
BTW Cyan, Animal Crossing is on the GameCube. If I was referring to Wild World on the DS (which indeed had most of K.K.'s songs transferred towards said platform), I'd be showing a top screen AND a touch screen in the same topic. :P

[Snooper_1989]

*Dances with his new VGDJ shirt on*

Remind me to get those action shots I promised you Jill. Heh.

[Conan-the-3rd]

There seems to be an error in my copy for some reasion, that realy crap SMB remix that somehow won the new intro song comp. played as the intro again.

[Liontamer]

Dammit, Dj Redlight is male. He is not female. Call him Ash instead.

[Jillian Aversa]

Dammit, Dj Redlight is male. He is not female. Call him Ash instead.
:lmassoff: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Best flub ever.

Conan: Get used to it. That's our new intro.
Snooper: Pix plz!

EDIT: Abadoss, if you see this... What in the world are you talking about in that voicemail of yours? We roll the die once for each show. Each of us chooses one mix we wanna hear. There are six possibilities. 2/6 = 1/3 = 0.3333333333... Maybe that whole thing was an elaborate joke, but it kinda sounded like you were serious about your math? :P

Also, I tnd to not hit my e button as hard as I should most of the tim. Though, bing gay is good for joint pain.

[V___]

to clear something up:

I used to go under the name of V_gasm, which was chosen because of a minimum 4 letter nickname requirement. Due to lameness, I decided to change my name to my prefered 'V' and to fill up the space i put in underscores as they appear somewhat invisible. So its not 'V underscore x3', its just a simple 'V' (said 'Vee') and no longer V_gasm. Just had to clear that up






mate

oh and the Aussie meetup looks like its gonna happen x3.

Dun da da dun dun dun dunnnnnnn! Presenting pixietricks' thousandth post on OCR...

VGDJ episode #041 (1st anniversary episode) has been released at WWW.VGDJ.NET (http://www.vgdj.net)!

We had a blast with you guys! Keep in mind that this show was recorded live with all our guests at the meetup, so there are a lot of wind noises etc. I think we pulled off the editing pretty well, considering the circumstances. ^_~ Anyway, here are the pics!

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

Awesome. Just awesome. I always swoon to look at meetup pictures. Can't wait for The One Ups Show for this very reason... a WEEK with VGM peeps.

About to listen to the pood-cast. Pretty damn exciting.

[Rexy]

With pictures like that, it makes me wonder what the UK meet would have been like if it was more than just me and TCK :P but yeah, it's good to know you peeps had a neat time out there.

I want to move to the USA... :(

DrumUltima's intro song STILL makes me laugh EVERY time. It's so cute and gimpy.

Bweehehehe... zirc doesn't like to smile on cue. That one with Cyan_Ide was actually the best out of three attempts. :D

[zircon]

DCT; blargh :(

Believe it or not though, I do smile and laugh and generally act like a normal person! It's just when I have to stop everything and then try to recreate it that I look monumentally retarded. So, action shots and serious shots will have to do for now.

[Abadoss]

btw, the reason the numbers are the way they are is because you have to factor in the combined possibility of the multiple rolls (aka every roll that you've done) into the equation. The only time you have a 1:6 chance with the die is on the first roll. After the first roll, you have to double the odds for each roll you make (1:12 / 1:24 / 1:48 / 1:96 / 1:192 / etc.). It's simple permutation...

Ahem, never mind us. If we record something for VGDJ then you can laugh at us!

But anyway mate, Australia is a bigger place than you might think.. if you're going to be the meetup guy you need more than a cool intro diddy.. maybe an atlas to tell you that! :)



Ohh, TCK and Rexy... cute! :) Love those accents.

Australia: 7,686,850 km² [2,967,909 sq. mi]

USA: 9,631,418 km² [3,718,711 sq. mi]

But we only roll once per show! GAHHH, your math has nothing to do with the Russian ReMix Roulette! :tomatoface:

Aside from the first show, each time you roll the die, it's not the first time you've rolled it. That's why you have to count all the other die rolls.

[zircon]

Philadelphia: 369 km² [143 sq. mi]
UK: 244,820 km² [94,526 sq. mi]

What went wrong?

369 square km and we couldn't find a single arcade or music store that was open. :(

[Merk]

To be fair, we didn't cover the 369 square km.
I would have researched where to go, but I sort of figured the person organizing the meetup would know where to go. Our day was pretty packed anyway, the time we would have spent at the arcade/music store we spent waiting at the Olive Garden.

True... that was a long wait.

And a side note, now that I have internet again and at home. I would like to to change what I said at first, from "no reason" to "going somewhere on a whim", I worded it badly... :p don't think i did not love every moment.

P.S. Thanks zircon, for the place to stay and every(jawn).

VGDJ: Kills Emo Podcasts Dead.
This pic is teh win!

http://digamejh.melankolly.com/online_storage/vgdj_djp_noscreen.gif
Nice work q-pa. :nicework: Rock on, VGDJ. Rock on.

I need to catch up. I'm still on episode #40 and I still gotta take a pic of me with my sticker. Sorry for being such a slacker, guys. :P

[Jillian Aversa]

It's okay, Nicole; you'll catch up soon enough. ^_^

Abadoss: But it doesn't matter what we did in past shows, because we only roll it once per episode! There is a 2 in 6 chance of one of us winning! 0.33333333333333... GAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

And yeah, I'm still waiting for the djp-ified version of VGDJ: Kills Emo Podcasts Dead, q-pa. :)!!

[gamerscalling]

Dr. Wily; that was an action shot of me moderating a thread. MWAHAHAHAHAHA

I might add a very, very awesome thing to see/hear. The line uttered was priceless.

Jill, you are correct - the chance is 1/3 per show.

Abadoss, you are calculating odds over time. These do not reflect the odds of possible outcomes for each show. Read here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler's_fallacy) for more information.

I agree. :!: *lol*

[JimSelve]

Wow, I'm listening since Episode 15 or something, but haven't posted in this thread the whole time. Shame on me.

So here's my chance:
Happy Birthday!

Awesome pictures you have there. :o
And now I'm really looking forward to this PLAY-documentary.

Kudos from germany.

[BlueMage]

Hmmmm ... makes me wish I could've attended. Oh well, I'm sure we can manage something in Brisbane. We've got plenty of emos to kill dead.

[Nicole Adams]

Just wonderin' if a video is in the works for the anniversary meet up?

Oh, and *rofl* at VGDJ #40 stinger. "I think I'm hyperventilating!" :lol:

[CE]

Just wonderin' if a video is in the works for the anniversary meet up?
I'd like info on this too.

[Merk]

Considering the only video shot to my knowledge was the stuff for Play, I'd have to say no.

[Jillian Aversa]

Just wonderin' if a video is in the works for the anniversary meet up?
I'd like info on this too.
Yeah, sorry kids. We were focusing on recording the show, not getting video. Can't very well talk and tape at the same time. But as Merk said, Paul, Paul, and Asif from PLAY- A Video Game Music Documentary got a lot of footage! Hopefully they'll release something soon. When they do, we'll definitely let you guys know. ^_~

Got it, I was thinking VGDJ had made the leap into video. Nevertheless, it'll soon conquer all types of media. Radio and Internet down I guess. :nicework:

Just finished listening to the latest and Kudos to all.

I'm enjoying listening to these podcasts and will continue to do so.

WAR! Huah! What is it good for, absolutely noth- wait, oops, that's not what I was supposed to do.. uhh.. what I meant to say was;

VGDJ episode #042 has been released, and is now available at WWW.VGDJ.NET (http://www.vgdj.net)!

A bit shorter than last week, but thoroughly amusing - I guarantee it! ;)

[watkinzez]

Don't emphasise the 'bane'. Pronounced 'Brisben'. :D

[Jillian Aversa]

Somebody pointed that out last week. I think he did it intentionally this time, as a joke. ^_^

[Dr. Wily]

Good show guys.

I can't believe you're still getting calls about the math odds... it's all explained in my post! Grrrr...

Drumultima is pronouncing the names exactly as Americans do, so he's not wrong but we seem to truncate the pronunciation to Brisbn and Melbn.

Oh I checked the shownotes but the list of background music hasn't been updated yet, just wondering what the tune was at the very end when zircon was doing his ' listner mix commentary' parody.

[Nicole Adams]

psst

zircon said it right

Yeah, I kept saying, "That's not how you pronounce it!" :P Yay, I'll listen to the new episode tomorrow.

[zircon]

Oops, the background music list was mistakenly edited out - I just put it back in. However I didn't think to include the one used in the stinger (we usually have random music or none at all for that stuff). But in this case, I deliberately chose the song "Spit" by John Murphy, which was also used in Apple commercials for several years.

[Jaswald]

just to clear things, my name is pronounced oswald with a J (JAAZwald)

[Liontamer]

Hahahaha! Stinga!

But anyway, just for you pixie:

I apparently have a monopoly on VGDJ DJPs, mwahahah!! :twisted:

Damn you Zircon for making me improvise the background behind you and damn you pixie for growing your hair out. :P But the challenge was worth it.



Hmmmm ... makes me wish I could've attended. Oh well, I'm sure we can manage something in Brisbane. We've got plenty of emos to kill dead.
No you don't. Your country's the home of Triple J (http://www.triplej.net.au), the only (terrestrial) radio station I ever loved...


Edit: Great news. Mazel tov!! :D
Are we allowed to give you questions to pass along?

Yeah Triple J does rock hard.

It's falling behind her head; that's the idea.
But as for the reverse DJP, I admit that was unintentional...


As for questions for the backstage dudes, here's a few suggestions that come to mind...

*How had composing video game music changed since the SNES/Genesis days (as I know Tommy Tallarico has done since)? Did/does technology impact how you approach your job?

*For Tommy: What motivated him to be such an avid supporter of Paul & Paul's project; what turned him on to it? What does he hope their film will accomplish for the community?


And of course the standard what are your influences, both inside the video game world and out?
Maybe follow-up with who they have respect for today.


Also, is it just me or do the American and Japanese video game industries seem to be diverging? The VGL show seems to represent the American side, but not the Japanese so much. It would be wonderful to get some outside opinions on this...

IT'S A NEW MONTH!
EVERYBODY VOTE FOR VGDJ (http://www.podcastalley.com/one_vote2.php?pod_id=4140)!!!

Make a pixie proud. ^_^

(Also, keep in mind that Podcast Alley goes by central time, so if you're from the east coast, you won't be able to vote until 1am. And west coast folks, well, you already can!)

I have voted on podcast alley, I swear!

No but, really , I have, honestly.

Voted. Again.

VGDJ is awesome.

[SosusOCR]

There's your vote, hope you use it wisely...

[Jillian Aversa]

We scored an awesome 25-minute interview with Tommy this morning, and hopefully more to come with other composers tonight. Met up with Darkesword for lunch, too. Now we're all just chilling a bit (with bustatunez!) before the big event.

[Nicole Adams]

Good to hear. :) Have fun tonight!

[ILLiterate]

For heads up, the intro, Medal of Honor & Myst where highlights of the show when I went

Also, when you're looking at the merch they have, I recommend the $0.25 Push to Reject t-shirt, they sold out like cakes filled with drugs at the San Jose showing

[zircon]

YO! We're back from VGL (posting at my dorm from 3AM, pixie is behind me and djp is nearly asleep on the floor.. good times). Earlier in the day we chilled with Darkesword and his buddies, as well as bustatunez, then for the show itself we met up with Merk and Atmaweapon and eventually Moguta and D-Lux (an unexpected surprise!) Anyway, the best part was that we not only got to hang out with all these big-name composers, but we got interviews with all of them. Amusingly enough, before we went to a hotel to relax and do a bunch of interviews, there was a "meet and greet" session with all of the people from the concert at a sort of panel, signing autographs.. as it turns out, djpretzel had a spot there! :D

Anyway, this is going to be a hell of a show. LOTS of editing to do and I'm the one that's going to be doing it, so it's going to take a little longer than normal. I expect to be done on Monday sometime, and it will probably be coordinated with a front page update by djp where he'll be spotlighting VGL and this special edition podcast episode.

Long story short, awesome concert, hooray for video game music, and check back Monday to hear the show. Goodnight!

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

Against the brand new Blood On The Asphalt? Scandal!

[Broken]

Sounds like tommorow's show is going to be one to remember. I can't wait!

[zircon]

VGDJ Episode 043: Video Games Live Edition has been released at www.vgdj.net !

It's finally done! We were sort of against the odds on this one, with me having to edit the show, pixietricks not having internet for most of the time, Pro Tools crashing, my main audio drive dying, etc.. but we really think you guys are gonna dig this one. There's too much cool stuff to describe. Ya'll just download and give it a listen.

Oh, and needless to say, vote for us this month (http://www.podcastalley.com/one_vote2.php?pod_id=4140) if you haven't already ;)

ps. A new batch of pictures is available from before, during, and after the show @ http://www.vgdj.net/album (page 5 and 6)

[Jillian Aversa]

YESSSSS! Exclusive interviews with Michael Salvatori of the Halo games, Martin Leung- the video game pianist, Gerard Marino of God of War, Marcus Henderson (the lead guitarist for Guitar Hero 1 and 2!), Jack Wall of the Myst series and more, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Tommy Tallarico!!! DJP made this a front page feature. Hope that serves as an indication how huge this episode was. Enjoy, guys. ^_^

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

4 minutes in, great work guys.

The music is helping to remind me how big this is.

Very exciting.

Wow, that was the first full VGDJ episode that I've listened to the whole way through, and I have to say what an amazing episode it was. Awesome interviews! It was definately nice to hear each composer's views on aspects of the industry. Thanks for such an awesome (and quite long) episode. Keep up the great work. :)

[Audity]

That was one of the best things I've ever heard. History in the making. Everything important in one mp3.

58:54, what's the song playing? I know I've heard it before, but I have no idea why I'd delete it. It...is a remix right? Sounds like one. That'd be really strange if it was an original. I don't want to be wrong but it's possible.

Wheeeeeeeeee, did you guys see that Tommy not only posted on our blog, but started a Video Games Live thread here on OCR? He is so cool! XD

[CC Ricers]

Can't wait to listen to the lastest show when I get home. You guys certainly have come a long way in a year. To get Tommy on your show, as well as a segment on VG Live, I'd say this is the most successful out of the OCR spinoff projects we've had.

I was wondering, your voicemail... is that only available for US callers? Because I'm over in the UK and in the time I've been listening to your show, I have no recollection of any Brits, Ozzies etc leaving a message. :dstrbd:

[Rexy]

Alex, we can do it; just that we have to do something else to call to International waters.
For proof's sake, I'll drop a message. I have time ever since my brother's doing exams this week and he won't catch me doing just one long-distance call. ;)

That would actually be so cool. I would do it myself had there been a couple of things not holding me back right now :( but we'll see what happens.

Anyway, this is a method that I actually give all due credit to DistantJ. When I wanted to call onto VG Frequency for the first time, I mentioned it in the VGMix chatterbox and he pointed out Telediscount. He saw it as the way to be able to call his peers (was it his girlfriend?) from abroad. So I used that and followed the instructions to get onto the show the following Saturday... and many other Saturdays after that.

For VGDJ I took that method and just replaced the WMRE number with yours. So, if there's any Brits reading this, this is what you do:

* Dial the access number for calls to the United States - check here (http://www.telediscount.co.uk/accessnumbers.php#u) for the number, which sometimes changes once in a while.
* When it says "please enter the number you would like to call and finish by pressing the hash (#) button" you just type 00 and THEN the VGDJ number. In this case it's 001 800 990 VGDJ (8435 if you can't see any letters imprinted on your phone).
* If you hear the VGDJ intro music followed by our hosts speaking about the answering machine, you know you're at the right place.

And there we go. A viable method for British users to call to VGDJ. :)

[Upthorn]

I'd say this was the most enjoyable show so far, for me. Thanks for making another day of work less tiring!

Also, I demand a zircon mix (a la pixie/wingless mix), it's about frickin' time!

While zircon undoubtedly deserves a zircmix, the more time that passes before that happens, the more entertaining the mix will become, as it will have more varied sound clips. I'd say give it a month or so longer. And then start asking.

[WesPip]

Obviously, the following comment is not meant to reflect negatively on past shows, as I enjoyed those, as shown by my VGDJ tshirt, but:
Best. Show. Evar.

That's all.

Thanks Rexy, I might give it a go sometime. :wink:

[Dhsu]

I really enjoyed the Gerard Merino and Marcus Henderson interviews. They were just so laidback, and Gerard shares a lot of my views about the current direction of video games. Also, my favorite quote in the entire show:

That's what heavy metal does: it breaks hearts and breaks pinkies.
\mXm/

I just wish I could've been there for the Guitar Hero competition...

[Broken]

I FINALLY had a chance to sit down and listen to the new show in its entirety, and it's just as awesome as I imagined it would be. All the interviews were really informative! I was really suprised what some of those people had to say about videogame music.

Personally, the highlight for me was when the composers more or less all said "OMG VG remixes are awesome/inspirational!" as opposed to "Stop putting drum loops over my songs you #$%$!"

[Jillian Aversa]

Ditto. Tommy actually said it brings tears to their eyes. I should reiterate how absolutely wonderful all the composers were. Not only willing to be interviewed, but genuinely excited and friendly. What a great bunch of people!

Can you handle the Shael?! I hope so, because...

VGDJ Episode 044 (Street Fighter 2 project edition) has been released and is now available at www.vgdj.net!

Our THIRD special episode in a one month period! Hope you guys don't mind ;)

[Jillian Aversa]

Wait for it, wait for it... :wink:
Haha. You scurvy dog. (Yeah, that's right, pretzel. SCURVY. :twisted:)

EDIT: 1up for pixie and zircon (http://www.vgdj.net/Misc/zircoin.mp3)!

[DragonFireKai]

You know, there were a few agonizing minutes where the new episode didn't dowload off of iTunes. I was almost tempted to download it straight of the main site, like a heathen. Thankfully, it didn't come to that. Great Show Guys!

[Rexy]

I take the shownotes don't allow hotlinks? Because that's what I've been thinkin' when I saw the link to the Telediscount access numbers being omitted :P I think some people from outside the community would be a little bit confused.
Anyways, I'll be sure to listen to the show. Street Fighter = <3

Why'd you keep saying "Ah-bey" for Abe's Oddyssey? NOT EVERYTHING'S IN JAPANESE, GIRL!!!! HAI!

[Rexy]

Larry for the win. That definitely ain't how the in-game dialogue pronounces his name. :lol:

[Jillian Aversa]

Never played it. I seriously didn't even consider the possibility of pronouncing it like Abraham. (That's scary... 8O)

Okay, I haven't listened to this podcast yet, but what is this about Pixietricks never having played any of the Oddworld series? Look at my living room
http://www.vgdj.net/album/slides/76.jpg
What's that you're posing in front of?

Let alone the hardcover and sealed limited edition of this book (http://www.ballisticpublishing.com/books/oddworld/) in my room and of course, my sig.

I officially don't know you anymore, Pixietricks. :evil:

BAHAHAHAHAHAH @q-pa

and Jill, I meant that in the most earnest sense! Trust me, I'm the last person who should be criticizing any drum rolls XD

[José the Bronx Rican]

I'm here 'cause two things happened:
1. My T-shirt just came in
2. I finally have a digital camera, and I'm fooling around with it

http://bronxrican.com/about/me-hme-02.jpg

[Jillian Aversa]

You're the best, José.

[q-pa]

Yeah, listening to the piece you can see how I got increasingly tired/desperate/cukoo as time went on, especially in part 3. :wink: The whole thing took much longer than I expected...
If you think this is crazy you should hear the first ever DJ mix I made in Traktor. I had my entire MP3 collection at my disposal and this grand vision; it was scary...

I'll be doing a 2nd version tomorrow or Thu. now that I actually have my sanity back. The whole reason I rushed it out is cause zircon said he'd do a remix too--and his would naturally be better. I feel like Sega during the Genesis days now. :roll: Blast Processing, biatch!!


BTW, notice how I pathetically try to compensate in the "Drop it Like It's Hot" section (pt 3) where the original was going "Snoooooooooooop!" Pixie: if you could provide me with a "ziirrrrrrrrrrrcoin!" sample or if any of you have advice on how to stretch out a sample without having it sound stuttery or choppy, it would be much appreciated...

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

You're the best, José.

That's not what you told me last night! :lol:

Also; GREAT show.

[Jiggles Mcpuff]

Our THIRD special episode in a one month period! Hope you guys don't mind ;)

I still think the part after "LET THERE BE REMIX" should be replaced with the Super Mario Super Show song.

But it might be nice to switch it up at least once...

Yo guys, as the front page of vgdj.net says, this episode will be a bit delayed - there's quite a bit of material to be edited what with the concert that pixietricks went to. But don't worry, we'll have it out as soon as we can. :)

[Abadoss]

Okay, I just listened to the fan voicemail thing you put out and...


WTF?!?!

Hmm... what some kids will do for attention, I suppose... they sound like they can't be much older than ten, which would probably explain the repeated affinity for Raaw Battery...

VGDJ Episode 045: 8-bit Genocide Edition has been released, and is now available at www.vgdj.net (http://www.vgdj.net)!

Another plus-size episode, but it's a blast. Enjoy!

[Liontamer]

Andy wins the "McVaffe" pronunciation contest.

[zircon]

Yeah, but I lose the "Shnabubula" one.

[Dhsu]

This show was just pronunciation mayhem. "Peenist" is a classic one of course, but Mark Vera's "Ouija DJ" just took the cake for me. ;) BTW, that reminds me...when are you guys gonna let Larry guest host? We could call it "Oji DJ." :D

And did we finally hear a real live pixie "squee"? Very cute...reminds me of my sister. :)

The 8bit Genocide segment was interesting. I got a very different vibe from these guys than I do from OCR (probably because there were so many metalheads in one place :) ). It's almost as if the VG rock cover community is the yin to our yang. It would be cool if VG cover scene actually did become "the next punk" like they mentioned...as long as they don't become bitter when it becomes mainstream and start reminiscing about how "they were there when..." ;)

[The Unsung Plumber]

ummm... If I may be so bold as to ask, What the hell was with the snoop dogg thing in the intro :dstrbd: ?



Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I love the show!

Hahaha, ouija DJ. And don't forget all the shnaboobula's. Indeed, it was a crazy show. When are we gonna "let" Larry guest host? All he has to do is ask! He never has, to my knowledge. But yeah, it would be a blast having him on the show. Perhaps if he makes it to zircon's birthday/my housewarming party this weekend, we could record with him in person. Eh eh?

And did we finally hear a real live pixie "squee"? Very cute...reminds me of my sister. :)

I know exactly what you mean about the ying and yang. It was extremely refreshing hanging out with those guys, and their music was seriously awesome. I'm glad you enjoyed the feature. ^_^

ummm... If I may be so bold as to ask, What the hell was with the snoop dogg thing in the intro :dstrbd:?
Hehehehe, that was from q-pa's "zircoin" remix (http://digamejh.melankolly.com/online_storage/ZircoinRemix.mp3)! We had been talking in IRC about calling zircon "zircoin" for fun, so he made that from my original recording singing "zircoin" with the pitches from Mario. roffle.

Ok Pixie,
