Sorry to NJ & TCK for being unable to host the show somewhere else. I'm not sure why you're unable to access the site, though some browsers & download managers just don't like HTTPS locations. I'm not sure how to go around that, but I may have to take Digital Coma up on his idea to offer torrents of the shows as long as people could seed 'em.

EDIT: Oops. I'm a few seconds late.Finally got everything up for download tonight, so enjoy the goods at https://webdrive.service.emory.edu/users/loji - VGF #24 (192MB/4hr 40mins) is available as well as this week's AIM chat transcript. I honestly don't have room to thank every single person who called in, but thanks a lot for all the interviews and funny calls. This is definitely the show of Dan Baranowsky, BTW. Check out minute 109 for "Nobuo Uetmatsu" calling in and minute 183 for "Mustin" and be ready to shit yourself. Obviously the show was a lot less hectic to listen to as opposed to doing live. Enjoy the show, punks, and thanks for everyone who tuned in and called, especially the loads of new people visiting the chat room this week. If you don't mind reading essays, here's the playlist for this week. I get to some of the recent requests in the thread next week. Hope to see you again next Saturday.

SgtRama visits for a minute before heading out for some cosmic bowling, but has time to talk about "Retentions of Conflict", Sadorf's old status as VGMix1's "legendary suck" as well as his own status as OC ReMix's proverbial rejection bar and how (not) well faking his death went over as an April Fool's joke last year; As a bonus, MamaRama pops in to say hello! [http://sgtrama.no-ip.com] 24. Garian takes over the phone and hopes to bowl his way to victory with a 120 (if he's lucky); though he missed the proceedings of the OCR April Fool's joke, he later heard "Retentions of Conflict" and jokingly rags on Sadorf's older, terrible VGMix1 mixes [http://www.discipliningpercy.tk] 25.

Jon Martindill, Star Salzman's male secretary and representative of the Star Salzman Organization, acts as an intermediary regarding information on "Dreams Come True", "When You See the Flashman, Duck and Cover" & "Magellanic", Star as a deity, (no) comments on "Retentions of Conflict", the interest in Star's music from female fans, Star's patented sexual maneuvers (e.g. the "Starscreamer"), and (no) classified information on future works [http://www.starblast.org/blog.php?blog_user=Jon] 48.

Hitoshi Sakimoto & Masaharu Iwata - "Mission Complete" [Final Fantasy Tactics OST]

Nice work, moi droog! Eto harosheeyeh peesya, if I've got my Romanized rooskeeyeh ezzeek pravilnyeh. Ya znaioo choot choot. In any case, good work here on a rather risky rearrangement, in terms of keeping with the original. Paka!

Get a new internet!

Wait, there's a video feed? Oh, this is going to be awesome! I'll definitely see if anyone can tape the show! That should be dope! This past Saturday's 117MB show is still available for anyone that's interested!

I edited bLiNd's call-in to bring up his phone levels a bit, so if you'd like to get that version, go ahead to my webspace and pick up the revised version of the show. Unfortunately, the skips that showed up during the very beginning of the show (like during Super Mariocean) were a result of the skips during the actual WAV recording, so I unfortunately couldn't do anything about those. Thanks to reelmojo for noticing I was on the air while I was doing the editing work on last Saturday's show. While I was on the air, I played my folder of remixer WIPs & Incompletes, as well as various tracks (including PRC mixes) at Caleb's request, and a bunch of my favorite tracks from VGMix. In terms of the editing I did, you may find the jumps in the background music during bLiNd & myself's convo a little awkward, but they're not really that bad per se, Jordan's voice levels are much more audible and I learned a few things on how I would go about fixes like that in the future. Just letting you know the revised copy of the show is available if you're interested. Based on the info I've seen with Daylight Savings Time in New Zealand now over, Henry, VGF for you would be every Sunday afternoon, 3-5 PM. Hope you get the chance to check out the show live and stop by the chat once again. Good job on "The Belmont Chill" yo; it'll be featured on this week's upcoming show, as you know. I'm definitely hoping to have Debo & Bagel over in the studio sometime. I need to get all the Georgia area peeps over, including OC ReMixers like my man Electron (Raul Gonzalez) here at Emory, as well as kLuTz and sephfire (both UGA). But yeah, I'll be in touch with you bros and try to work something out. I'll be trying to have you guys come by this semester, but don't worry if we can't get together for a show this time around since there's not much time left and maybe papers and shit are creeping up; next semester is cool. How about shootin' for Saturday night, April 17th, bros? Lemme know what's good.

Waddap, everybody. VG Frequency #23 is available for your downloading pleasure over at my webspace, clocking in at 117MB. Thanks to everyone who tuned in and contributed, as well as Mr. Mystery Indian caller (Kris), Wingless, bLiNd & DCT for calling in, as well as OverCoat for the usual AIM chat transcript hookup. I know bLiNd's call-in is kind of low, so feel free to use headphones on that. If I have time to chill in the studio and raise the levels on that a little bit, I may do that, but it's a tedious process as Species can attest to. If I do have the time to tweaks those levels and re-release the show MP3, I'll let you know. It's been just over a year since I started getting attention from the community-at-large for my radio show, so to celebrate, we not only have this week's chat transcript, but for a limited time you can check out my first ever AIM conversation with OverCoat back on March 22nd, 2003. SOC was my first listener from the community back when my show had the terribly plain title of "(Insert Name Here)", and he's been with me and the show through and through. Thanks a lot for your support from the beginning, Scott! Glad to have DCT back at 'em as well! Everyone glad to see you around again. If you wanna get more info on the goings on in DCT's life in the past month, you really should check out the show and hear what he had to say. We're all looking forward to you're gonna be working on, continuing to bring mor ehip-hop flavor to the community. Stay ambitious, bro! There's also a 40MB lower quality MP3 available by request; if anyone is interested in that, let me know. Here's your playlist folks. See you next week!

ACK! There was a serious lack of NutS! Sorry, Mike. I won't forget "Overheating" next week. I had a nagging feeling I was forgetting something too. [frowny face]

Per the usual, we've got a diverse offering of tracks for everyone, so be sure to tune in tonight and join the VG Frequency chat room. Hope to see everyone there. I have a little time to F around on the air, so feel free to call in a for a few minutes.

I've got no idea why the download wasn't working, since the file's been hosted since Monday night. https://webdrive.service.emory.edu/users/loji brings you to the webspace, while https://webdrive.service.emory.edu/users/loji/Larry%20Oji%20(Liontamer)%20-%20VG%20Frequency%20%2322%20(High%20Quality).mp3 is a direct link to the 123MB mp3. No reason why it shouldn't have worked, but in any case there shouldn't be any reason why it won't work now.

Thanks for the requests, Ignis, Fiz & Dhsu. I'll be sure to get to 'em next week. Now for anyone interested, go over to my webspace at https://webdrive.service.emory.edu/users/loji and pick up the latest episode of VG Frequency. This one clocks in at nearly 3 hours and 123MB. Holy crizzap! You buy! You buy! Mad props to Red Omen for the pimpin' pic commemorating the banishment of that whore, Jim Holland. He's just gotta get the last name right, but it's the thought that counts. (Hit the showers, Holland!!!) I can't actually display the image (https://webdrive.service.emory.edu/users/loji/Oji%20Hollins.gif) thanks to my https web address, but it's hilarious! Any comments on the show archive are appreciated. Take it easy, everyone.

Thanks for everyone who tuned in, as well as DarkeSword and (not) the bastards who called in later. Also props to Pretz for posting up the coincidentally posting the latest 3 mixes during my show, which provided further material for the show (one day he's gonna stare at his glowing computer lights and not snap out of it), as well as Digital Coma for calling in post-show/post-recording with a spirited live rendition of the OC ReMix classic, "Fowl Jive", because that's clearly what we all wanted to hear. The AIM chat transcript (thanks to OverCoat) & MP3 will be available this coming Tuesday morning once I'm done with my 2 midterms this Monday. Sorry for the delay on those. Feel free to pick up last week's episode over at https://webdrive.service.emory.edu/users/loji, before I finally take it down. It was an excellent 3-hour show featuring a very diverse number of people in and around the community, so I hope you'll looking forward to the MP3 of the show when it comes out.

What you MEANT to say is, "CAN YOU play Broken Mirror early, Larry?" Happy 16th, Blake! Don't drink too many non-alcoholic beverages or you'll get...um...not...drunk... at all...

I got you covered, Dhsu! Sorry about the memory lapse! Meanwhile...I hate you, Gray. You punk.

What Shariq clearly meant to say is "You're the man, Larry. Tonight's lineup looks phenomenal!"

Thanks for the requests, bros. This week, I've been trying to focus primarily on playing artists who haven't been featured as often on the show. I've done AE's "Soap and Water" before as well as Beej's "Fragments of Gold," but I will definitely be doing Alexander Prievert's "Broken Mirror Reflection" as well as "LightSpeed" by Sir Nuts with Mae. I was actually gonna play Overheating tonight, but luckily I checked the thread out and saw your request Nuts, so thanks for the support, and I'll be playing Overheating next week. Fiz, if you wanna hit me up with another request you'd like, hit me up on AIM, and I'll see what else you may be looking for. If you know of anything by Beej that's good too, lemme know. Aight everyone, we're almost ready for another episode of VG Frequency, and we've got some good stuff on board. The latest tracks from OC by Bloomer, Dan Baranowsky & Will Buck will be pimped out, as well as new VGMix releases from Kevin Stephens, goat (!), Icy Guy & GrayLightning. Carbunk1e recently brought AnimeRemix back into the game and we'll be having his latest track there covering X TV. We've also got the winning tracks of SoundTempest.net's CompoST 6 (analoq & Moose585) and CompoST 7 (Rellik & smh) on hand, as well as the top entries in reelmojo's People's Remix Competition 11 (ArseAssassin, DarkeSword, TO, muchi & Emporer) tackling Kirby's Block Ball. Hmm...what else is there? Well, for fans of CastleVania 4, LastUnicron's got a fresh remix just released a few days ago that you'll really be feeling. For those of you only familiar with his Alisia Dragoon remix "Halls of Abandonment", Unicron works this mix in a completely different style you'll wanna check out. JigginJonT's got a remastered version of the fan-favorite F-Zero mix "Silent Progression" in the judges' panel we'll be checking out, while Alexander Prievert, k-wix & Israfel keep things classic with some older OC tracks. Always be sure to lurk around the WIP and WIP:O forums here to find out about interesting works, old and new, going on within the community. On the game remix front, we'll also be having stuff from Dr. Fruitcake, Norrin Radd, freshmaker and Shael Riley, while on the originals side, Destiny, djcubez, Ork Estral, Abram McCalment & Jared Hudson all bring their diverse styles to the table. I always love making the playlists for these shows, since I think these represent good cross-sections of the community we're all a part of. If you watch my sig throughout today, you'll notice me playing tonight's tracks while I figure out what tonight's playlist order is. With all of that said, you better be there with me and the VG Frequency regulars tonight from 10PM-12AM EST. The AIM chat room can be reached by opening AIM and copying the link in my signature into you web browser, or just IM me. You also have less than a day or so left to snag last week's 107MB episode featuring Protricity over at https://webdrive.service.emory.edu/users/loji, so don't be left out of that one either. Hope to see you around tonight. And to DCT, our thoughts continue to be with you. Get better bro.

Yeesh. I think part of the problem may by that people can directly go to the Supertux songs directory and just get all of the files at will. You would definitely know better than me if there's been a significant amount of activity from individuals going down the public songs directory list and just getting everything from there, Aubrey. Dave doesn't allow that on OC as far as I know, since he implemented indirect links to the download pages a little while back. Maybe direct linking to the Supertux songs directory page should be forbidden to the public, and then others could think about using the Torrents instead?

Ha! I hate Jim Holland! I don't have the HQ version of last Saturday's show mirrored yet, but if anyone wants the 36MB lower-quality version (it's still a good listen), please PM or contact me when I'm signed onto AIM and I'll find a way to get it to you. Pick up the high-quality MP3, beyotches!

It's hard for me to believe that this one came out on VGMix way back in mid-November, but all things considered, I'm glad it's finally here. Tight stuff as usual from Mr. B, this really took the Gerudo theme different places than the usual fare. I can't wait until Dan's FF6 "Shadowman" WIP gets finished, since that's something that's going to impress a lot of people as well. Here's my quick review from VGMix: I've had the most recent WIP of this track for quite a few months, so, like Belmont Lounge on OCR, I was eagerly awaiting the final product and I'm really glad to see this track complete. The one major shortcoming of the WIP I had was that the bass was too subtle and needed to be beefed up to fill out the track, and Dan definitely addressed those issues with some pumpable, thumpable bass levels. The other important addition to this mix since the last WIP were the weird sounding little noises that came at the end of certain measures (e.g. 0:32 & 0:39). Honestly, on the first listen, I felt that those effects sounding too tacked on and didn't mesh as well as they could have with the music, since they were in fact added on later. There are also certain instances where those effects accentuate the background instead (e.g. 1:28 & 1:36) and manage to flow much better. Nonetheless, after just the second listening (and through repeated listening and ear acclimation for others), those distorded note effects blend in very nicely. Dan is a mixer who in my opinion has a tremendous knack for several different styles (e.g. Air Force One is Down/Silent Ascent, The Galaxy is at Peace, Black Magic Synthesis, Belmont Lounge & this one). Dan has taken several tracks and has tackled several different genres, all with tremendous success. And overall, Awakened Fears is an excellent rearrangement of the Gerudo theme. I really enjoyed the voice effects of himself Dan threw in that are reverbed and toyed around with in different ways to give off that airy, somewhat mystical feel that he alludes to with this mix's title. The synth notes making up the main melody (e.g. 0:40-0:56, 1:39-1:55 & 2:58-3:14) are reverbed but short notes nonetheless. I wouldn't describe them as "sparse" since that has negative connotations, because the nature of how these notes were programmed really fit the music. You can't have every single element reverb greatly or you run the risk of muddying the track up. Instead, the melody serves as somewhat of an anchor for the more ambient-style music that envelops the majority of the track. For me, this was a high quality, liberally arranged remix with quite a few layers involved that tangibly sets a mood and keeps you there for 3 minutes and 41 seconds. That being said, make sure you DL it and give it a few listens. You'll likely appreciate it on more than one level. Excellent work.

I finally get to go to sleep soon. While I get my ZzZs, head on over to https://webdrive.service.emory.edu/users/loji and snag the lastest AIM chat transcript courtesy of OverCoat. I'll be temporarily hosting the 107MB high quality, 96kbps-stereo version of VGF #21 over there as well until Binnie gets a hold of it and helps me out by mirroring it. Thanks a lot to Coma for helping me out there. I'm assuming by the time I wake up, it'll be mirrored, and at that point I'll host the 36MB lower quality, 32kbps-mono version, which actually sounds fairly good nonetheless, especially if you're used to listening to the archives Species helps me with when he's recording the show from our cruddy RealPlayer stream. Species will still be my backup for show recordings, especially since you KNOW I'll F one of them at some point down the line. Besides, I won't always necessarily have the time or access to just chill in the studio and encode my show right after I'm done, especially on substitution/mid-week shows. Also, take note, when you hear VGF through the RealPlayer stream or Species' recordings, I have to compensate for the deficiencies in the stream system by diminishing the bass and upping the treble to equalize the sound. So, when I record directly from the soundboard instead, those stream deficiencies are a non-factor and thus you get very low bass and dominant treble. The tracks all sound great nonetheless, so please, no complaints in those regards. Besides, with the information in the ID3 tag, you have all the info you need to pick up a track that your enjoyed for yourself. Thanks a lot to Prot for calling in and giving a quality insightful interview on a shitload of topics. I know Coma and DarkeSword were saying that they prefer when interviews are more informal and off-the-cuff, but I feel that everyone should have at least one interview that's a more focused and informative. Once you get 1 interview out of the way, then, as DarkeSword can attest to because he calls so often, it's a lot easier to shoot the shit and not be as tied down to some sort of structure. I think VGF #19 from two weeks ago, where we had five impromptu interviews, was a great example of that. So if and when Ari calls again, yeah, it'll be a lot looser interview. Pr0t covered everything I wanted to tackle and then some, so I'm glad he stopped by. Thanks to our mystery callers too, cuz I have no idea who they were of course. Also, again, I'd like to thank all of the new listeners and visitors to the AIM chat room, including LastUnicron, Black Hand, Zeality, k-wix & djpretzel, as well as the people who hung out in the chat room after the regular show was over for the afterparty featuring voting on the tracks from CompoST 6, as well stuff from Unknown, MC & Bloomer, WIPs from Sadorf & Hemophiliac and random OC mixes. I'm always glad more and more people are checking out the show and enjoying the layout, so I hope you guys keep coming back when you can. Now, let's get to the playlist, so I can go to bed: Larry Oji - WMRE (Emory University Student Radio; Atlanta, GA) "VG Frequency" - Saturday, March 13, 2004 / 10:05 PM - 12:35 AM 1.

And the funniest part is that based on BOTH of them, I can't tell which one of them would have changed the thread title from "Protricity" to "FGT"!

Aight folks, it's that time again. Tonight's show of VG Frequency will of course feature some of the lastest tracks from around these parts. On VGMix, the Crazy Crackaz All-Starz lit it up with their River City Ransom mix, "River City Rap", and mellogear & zyko continue the influx of rap tracks in the community with "Samus vs. the Monster, FRENCH!" The intrepid men (and no women) of SoundTempest have been keeping themselves busy with regular editions of CompoST, the original game music hour-long compo, and we'll be playing tracks from contests 2 through 5 to give you the lowdown on that. We've got the latest 4 OC ReMixes from Noir, Mark Vera, bLiNd & Protricity. And on that note, tonight's guest interview is the very soft-spoken Protricity, who'll be talking about a whole host of things including his newst Donkey Kong Country 2 mix, "Forest Birdcussion". We'll also be playing two tracks from DCT, who we all wish the best for on his somewhat lenghty road to recovery. We'll have the chill instrumental version of his Sonic 3 mix "Iced Out Nine Twenty Two" as well as his remix of DarkSword's "The Moonlight Ballroom (1st Movement)" featuring 50 Cent, "In Da Club (Dark Sword Mix)." Tune in, peeps, as it should be another quality show. Be sure not to miss the goings on tonight by IMing me on AIM or joining the VGF chat room yourself at "VG Frequency".

This mix hit me in the G-Spot! Nice work per the usual, Jordan. The Extended Mix for PMM Trance should be even hotter!

I agree with what Pretz was saying in that this was unique territory for Prot to tackle. I loved how the intro had the same electrosynth of the original music from DKC2, and though some people will feel that the bird chirps aren't for them, I thought they added a lots of character and enhanced the general relaxing feel of the mix. Ari did a great job of using his time to subtly lay down the source melody in the beginning and then focus on developing his own progressions alongside the "birdcussion." I wasn't a big fan of the Donkey Kong Country 2 soundtrack, to be honest. While my opinion obviously flies in the face of Prot's own enjoyment of the DKC2 music and his desire to mix these tracks, I bring that up, because I feel that "Forest Birdcussion" does a great job of getting rid of the tribal/jungle drums that overpowered the original track ("Forest Interlude"), and bringing in more ambient and soundscape elements to make the music more accessible. Even in the latter half of the track, when Ari brought in a strong addition of percussion, it didn't detract from the other sounds that he had introduced beforehand. The ending featuring shimmering notes, piano, percussion hits and finally the fading bird chirps was absolutely well-done; a great, satisfying closure to the piece. Hearing how nice this track is makes me wish I bugged Prot for it earlier, rather than just sarcastically making fun of the title! Great work, Ari. A true keeper and one that brings a new dimension to the DKC series mixes already available.

Thanks for all of the B-Day greetings peeps. A lot of people IMed me too. I'm OLD. Beyond 21, every year just brings you closer to DEATH!!!! You can't run from time! Don't forget to DL Beats of Rage! https://webdrive.service.emory.edu/users/loji
