Great stuff by showdax here. I was lucky enough to lend an ear with some of the EQing on in when this was a WIP, so I think everything sounds well done. I know zyko was kinda critical on the guitar synth used here, but getting a guitarist isn't something that can just be done when you want it to be. Shadow did some nice work programming the guitar synth and giving it a lot of energy. Compared to the original theme "Bazaar" from EB/Mother 2, "Funky Bookas" rocks out a lot more. Dax'll kill me for saying this too, but the EarthBound soundtrack is pretty strange. To me, it doesn't seem musically coherent, since everything's composed with weird sound effects. "Bazaar" is one of the better tracks from EarthBound, but Shadow succeeded in creating something more well-rounded musically. As the resident EarthBound music enthusiast at OCR, Shadow's got plenty of great stuff coming up as well. I think you'll really enjoy "Live at Jackie's" as well as "Oceans of Mud". Check those WIPs out at VGMix or the OCR WIP forums and drop some comments on those. They're just as ambitious as Funky Bookas. Excellent stuff all around.

Yo, folks! I still don't know anything about the status of the show next semester, but again, I'll let you know as soon as I can. In the meantime, here's the playlist from the final show from a few weeks ago. Of course, I would have put it up sooner, but finals were approaching, and I needed to put all of my focus on that. If everything was smooth sailing, I would have snuck into WMRE and did yet another show on the 13th. Here's the playlist for the VG Frequency finale, or #13.5 if you want to call it that. Thanks to everyone who called in with their well-wishes for the show and the holiday as well. I don't believe DCT actually cut off, but we'll see when Species has the archive available. I'll be hosting the chat transcript sometime later over the weekend: Larry Oji - WMRE (Emory University Student Radio; Atlanta, GA) "VG Frequency" - Tuesday, December 9, 2003 - 10:05 PM - 12:45 AM EST 1.

I'm doing a special finale wrap-up episode of VG Frequency tonight from 10 PM to 12 AM EST, so I'm looking for as many people to be here as possible, as long as it's not getting in the way of finals or whatever else you have going on. The show will have a couple of fresh tracks and some other stuff, but will hopefully be based on call-ins. If you can call in and shoot the shit on the air for a few minutes, I'll be glad to have you on. The number for WMRE is (404) 727-9673. I'm hoping to have as many people as possible call in for a few minutes. Even if you can't make it tonight, thanks for your support throughout the semester, and again, I'll have some final thoughts about the show to post when I have some free time during finals. Hopefully, I'll see you around tonight.

Thanks again to Shadow for the OGG mirror he provided tonight, as well as The Coop for our chat transcript. Species recording may be pretty iffy, since RealPlayer was messing up for more than a handful of people for some reason. Not a big deal though. I'm really appreciative that he's been recording the shows. Look for MP3 archives for shows 10-13 when I have time to get them from him. Like I was saying in the chat and on the air, I may be able to do a fill-in show on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday as a free-form wrapup show with random mixes being played and a focus done on call-ins so we can chill around. No promises though, since I don't know if anyone else will be giving up their time, plus it's getting to be time for finals. For all intents and purposes though, VG Frequency is wrapped up. Thanks a lot for all the feedback and "No, don't be over" comments. [smiley face] I'll be doing a nice lil' sentimental post sometime later, and I'll be letting you know the show's status for next semester as soon as I can, which'll be a couple of weeks.

Along with other fresh new mixes available from DarkeSword & OverCoat, there's a heaping of originals with NoppZ, analoq, Juverna, SuperGreenX & Cool Ethan (f/JigginJonT). VG Frequency: "Be there and be Square"

I'm busy chillin' in Savannah this week, so I won't be in Atlanta to do VG Frequency this week. If I have time sometime next week though, I may slip in a weeknight show to make up for it. The Saturday after next will be the last show.

Definitely don't want to forget to thank Red Omen for two dope new parody style bumpers. Nice work, Ryan! To celebrate a job well done on my Philosophy of Law test before the Turkey day break, I'm doing a show before Thanksgiving and chilling around in the studio. I'll be playing random VGM stuffs, so check it out. The VGMix VG Frequency thread is a lot smaller right now, so you can check the first post on it for all the details you need if you're new.

Thanks to everyone who tuned in this week, although it felt like a diaster for me, since 1) the internet was the most difficult it had ever been on the station computer and I kept getting booted from AIM and 2) someone messed up the soundboard at the studio earlier in the week and made everything ridiculously difficult, including the levels for the FFmusic Dj interview. Species' archive for this show won't be out for a long time, since the levels were all over the place, but next year sounds like a good timeframe for it. Thanks to Haroon Piracha for a LONG , but very insightful interview on a hell of a lot of topics. The gist of the interview focuses on the fact that Haroon has come a long way from both a singular focus on remixing Final Fantasy and a singular focus on trance music. The tracks I played during Haroon's interview probably didn't even register thanks to problems with the phone. I may do a quick show on Tuesday or Wednesday to showcase those properly. Find out what you can about FFmusic Dj's original game work to listen to the broader extent of his work. The chat transcript is here. Check the root directory for a few of Destiny's 2003 tracks, for those of you who really enjoyed "Fly (Your Heart Is Young)". The playlist is below (and I know StationMP3's been dead). No show next week, cuz it's Thanksgiving here in the States... Larry Oji - WMRE (Emory University Student Radio; Atlanta, GA) "VG Frequency" - Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 10:10 PM - 12 AM EST 1.

I won't play a song unless I have the proper artist, title, album & copyright info for it, because I don't want to ever miscredit anything. It's also station policy to have all that information available. If someone managed to find out the relevant info for it, I could play it.

You better be, Henry! [mean face] Hahaha. But yeah, try and be there if you can. Considering I've been focusing extra attention on my classes, I haven't been around all week, so I haven't laid out too many things for tomorrow night. I'll be working on getting everything ready, but for now, I'll quickly point out what I'm planning to go with so far. 1. FFmusicDJ will be this week's interview, so check him out on the air addressing a host of topics and also see what Haroon's got cooking, including his latest remix of original music, Delerium f/Sarah McLachlan - "Silence (Hap Club Mix)". 2. Just to play it properly after last week's metaphorical burp, I'll be playing the dope original track once again from The Black Lodge, "Summer '99". 3. Considering OverCoat's disdain for Nobuo Uematsu, he's nonetheless got an interesting take on a Final Fantasy 6 track, and it's not one of the over-remixed ones either. Check out "The People of the Ruined World". 4. Destiny's recent Chrono Cross collab with zyko "Dragon's Prayer: The Blackened Desire" is her first remix available on VGMix2... 5. ...We'll be checking that out, as well as the revised version of Helen's original vocal track "Fly (Your Heart Is Young)". 6. For those of you who enjoyed Shariq calling in last Saturday, DarkeSword will allow us to check out an original Shakesperian theatrical piece that also happens to be his first-ever paid composition (*cough* $5). 7. Courtesy of JigginJonT's request, Pixelated serves up some somber, explicit Zelda 2 prose-style action with "Crying Alone in the Darkness". 8. It's not an easy task to get a remix of yours into the Stuff of Legends on VGMix. Only 2 have managed to get there and STAY there. kLuTz has managed to do just that, and we'll be taking a listen to his new Final Fantasy 1 town theme remix "Simple Joys". It's all good. Was there ever any doubt? Be sure to check everything out Saturday night, 10 PM - 12 AM EST. The link's in my sig.

Yo yo, peoples. After eating some delicious sushi like a gaijin American pig-dog and drinking some el33t Goya peach nectar (oh, that shit is GOOD), it's time to run down what we played tonight. I gotta thank Species for tonight's show recording, assuming everything went down alright, since he did have to go to sleep while it was recording. Thanks to SgtRama for the brand new bumper, which I luckily saw just before I left for the studio. I was able to get that into tonight's show for the INSTANT GRATIFICATION, so thanks again to Doug for the hookup. We certainly have a great amount of bumpers for the show, and I will host them all at some point. We're at 17 bumpers. Maybe the magic number is 20. Thanks to all the new people who came by to check out the show today on this special weekday edition of the show. A lot of them, including Carbunk1e, were from AnimeRemix, or they were Suzumebachi's friends, and it's good to have fresh faces checking it out. Over the course of the night, we must have had around 35 different people in and out of the chat, so it was really productive, despite the late time. Check out what everyone was yakkin' about with the VG Frequency AIM chat transcript. Hopefully everyone enjoyed themselves and the show, and I hope many of you can turn out for next Saturday's show, which will be the last before Thanksgiving. No show during the holiday. I'm eating turkey. The playlist below isn't quite turkey, but it's certainly satisfying nonetheless: Larry Oji - WMRE (Emory University Student Radio; Atlanta, GA) "VG Frequency" - Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 12:10 - 2:05 AM EST 1.

Just to let everyone know what's to be expected, here's how I've basically laid out tonight's show. Though it's late for a weekday, I hope I see a good amount of people around tonight. Some things might move around, but this is the preview: SuperGreenX - Unnamed WIP [http://www.mp3.com/supergreenx] Star Salzman - VG Frequency "Star Egotism" Bumper L Spiro - Donkey Kong Country 2 "Konkluded Epik" [VGMix2 #338] Jared Hudson - "G.H.O.S.T.

First things first, thanks to Species for the show recording. The Wingless, I know, is very intent on hearing Hindu Bob again, and everyone enjoyed the hijinx while it lasted, so be out the lookout for the archive in the near future. Thanks to the peeps who called and listened. I gotta apologize for the show cutting out for everyone at Midnight when there were supposed to be another 2 hours, but Emory decided that Midnight would be a good time to reset the network. When they do that, someone has to manually reset WMRE's webstream feed, and they don't do that until the weekday. I'm working on changing stuff now that I've gotten pissed enough to join the tech department. To get the second half's stuff played like it was supposed to be, I'm doing another show tonight/late-night from 12 - 2 AM. I know that's not convenient for a lot of people, so apologies, but I'd like to get everything done on the air as I promised so I can have a clean slate for next week. Here's Saturday's chat transcript.

I'll go for The Pancake Chef since he could use some more pimpage. Thanks yo. Hahaha, definitely go for a bumper, bro. Earn immortality!

Oh, I'll give you something to die about, you bastard! [shakes fist] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So it's gonna be a 3 hour show this Saturday. I have no problem playing whatever I have, but I'm definitely looking for requests to fill this 3 hours show. Keep your suggestion to only 1 song, to maximize how many peeps can get their requests in, and get your choice to me on the thread (WITH linkage) by Saturday early afternoon. If you PM me or IM me, that's fine, but I may get that stuff lost in the shuffle. MP3.com is dumping all of its current content December 2nd, which is why it's very important to check out VG Frequency's MP3.com station, "VG Frequency: Originals" to check out the largest selection of original tracks by OC ReMixers before the station's gone forever. Be sure to bookmark it and use the 2 weeks to sample as much music as you can, before the chance is gone. Tracks that are confirmed for Saturday are 1) rundll's Judge Dredd VGMix "Megacity Megasound" at Rayza's request 2) A jazz/big band original by Jaroban of Interdit and SMB Medley fame, "Shades of Change" 3) Jared Hudson's recently complete menu music for the Half-Life mod G.H.O.S.T. Ops, "G.H.O.S.T. Ops Theme" 4) Beatdrop's newest track from his forthcoming album Final Energy, "danger/poison" 5) The newest VGMix from Dan Baranowsky, "Awakened Fears of the Gerudo" 6) A unique take on SMW's Overworld BGM on VGMix, B1itz Lunar's "Donut Grooves" 7) The lastest OC ReMix by the hugely popular Billy Christiansen, i.e. Symphonic Chronicles, "It's About Time" Wave Theory's 14-minute "Breakbeat Demo Mix" from earlier this year 9) A classic original track by The Black Lodge, "Summer '99" 10) We'll also be sneaking in Star Salzman's creative original "Fat Dong", and trust me, that song's playling at some ludicrously late time after the show recording is over The show goes from 10 PM - 1 AM EST for the recording of about 3 hours, then I'm staying until at least 2 AM to hang out with whoever else is around in the VG Frequency AIM chat room and play extra tracks. This is definitely the best time to pimp the show out to other people you know, so please encourage others to check it out this week. See everybody tomorrow.

Decent effort, Sharky! ... Wait, wrong forum... I've had this one since IMC:LE, so I'm glad to see that it made it here fairly quickly. If you're down with Mario Kart, don't pass this one up at all. DS provides excellent sax work as usual, so sit back and chill with this one.

Because I'm the man, I managed to pick up this month's WMRE Show Spotlight. Check it out here. The links at the bottom need to be fixed to actually work, but the webmaster just forgot to make them not add to the root of the WMRE URL. But they're there anyway, and they'll be fixed up soon. Roam around the site to check out some of the other shows as well. Don't know why we have a purple/pink site scheme when our school colors are blue & gold, but no one said life ever made sense. With the show spotlight up now, I hope some of the people/lurkers here on the OCR boards will finally feel enough incentive to check the show out. I'm also gonna be joining the tech department in an effort with our tech director to get something done about changing our stream. Apparently, it's more difficult than it sounds. Nothing will happen immediately, but we'll see what we can do. Make sure to pimp VG Frequency at the WMRE website guestbook, and be sure to pimp your own URL as well. I can't host all my shows at once (though I don't have a problem with that right now), but I will have some text interviews up fairly soon depending on who I get permission from. Although more stuff will be coming soon, feedback on what else I can add to my show's webpage is appreciated.

First off, I wanna thank Species for his recording as usual. It'll be out whenever he has a chance to look over the recording and master it, but big props to Species for hooking me up every week. Be on the lookout for it. Thanks of course to everyone who contributed mixes & requests. This was a very diverse mix of tracks. Last week's show went absolutely great, but this one went even smoother, and I really had a good time again. I really appreciated everyone tuning in, and thanks a lot to all the peeps who pimped the hell out of the show to get a whole bunch of new people this week. Not everyone decided to stay the whole time, but I'll be looking for the new people over the next few days to thank them for stopping by and checking my lil' radio show out. We're bigger & better every week, so keep tuning in! To check out what the peeps were saying about all the stuff on this week's episode, check out this week's chat transcript courtesy of OverCoat (¡Olé!). Let's get to meat of the show.

Panzer Dragoon Azel & Orta requests DENIED! For now, there's no scheduled interview tonight. If you want your 15 minutes though, feel free to leave me a message sometime before 5 PM EST while I'm asleep. No interview's just as well, because there's tons of st00f in store and it's gotta fit within 2 hours. Along with the already featured tracks from Dan Baranowsky, GrayLightning and bLiNd (it's a secret!), we've got remixes from Shadow, SuperGreenX & MC, a MegaMan II submission from the aspiring BliziHiZaKe, old school flavor from Mellogear, Nate Cloud, SkyHigh, Spram & Injury, and fresh cuts with the lastest two OC ReMixes from Trace Kyshad & silent. OverCoat also adds a little extra "sabor" to the mix with a brand new bumper debuting tonight! You should already know the drill: http://www.emory.edu/WMRE/wmre.ram is the link for the webstream, and you need RealPlayer [thumbs down] or RealAlternative [thumbs up] to check it out. The AIM chat room is "VG Frequency" as always. Invite yourself in, or hit me up with an IM at Liontamer87, to hang out with us OC remixers & fans while we all act strangely! 10 PM EST...that's soon.

He's just sayin' that cuz he's gonna be featured! Sure, yo. Gimme any particular suggestions you have, or hook me up with linkage to an MP3 you'd prefer. And with the passing of October, we are reunited with Red Omen. Good to have you back, bro. Let the peeps know how the marching band stuff turned out.

Ah yes. Let's not forget that the WMRE webstream is too spotty to record the show at a higher bitrate. RealPlayer.... Waking up this evening/early morning has been very productive. I got to check out the second half of KyleJCrb's radio show "Nitro Game Injection", and two OCR submissions that I've been anticipating very, very highly finally made it up in "Dezoris Winter" & "Belmont Lounge". To celebrate these quality tracks finally receiving the Pretzel seal of approval, they'll be featured next Saturday on VG Frequency, along with the other side of the coin in GrayLightning's & Dan Baranowsky's first VGMix submissions "Schala: Memories Lost in Time 2" and "The Galaxy is at Peace". Along with Dan's Super Metroid mix being on OCR as well, Gray's Chrono Trigger mix is a revisitation of his older OC mix "Memories Lost in Time". Not to be outdone, bLiNd has just completed his latest track for the upcoming album from KFSS Studios, Project Majestic Mix Trance, and you'll be getting the exclusive hookup this Saturday in this 3rd part of the PMM Trance preview. For those of you who've been following bLiNd's progress intently, get ready to revist an old favorite. To allow more time for music, I'll be sticking to only one interview from now on, but if you have any requests (Larry, play my st00f!) or wanna come on the air for an interview (Larry, I like the sound of my own voice!), feel free to lemme know, with a bias towards anyone who hasn't had the opportunity to give an interview yet. More stuff will be previewed later in the week, but for now, be sure to pick up the available episodes up from my webspace featuring interviews with KyleJCrb [#1], DCT/Succubus/Vigilante [#7], The Wingless/Dj Abjurator [#8] & JigginJonT/Jared Hudson [#9]. There's also the very excellent MP3.com station available at http://www.mp3.com/stations/vgfrequency that focuses on remixer originals, so be sure to bookmark that.

I'm not gonna review this one with the heavy critique style of VGMix. Larry: "Ah, the very familiar Silent Zone theme!" Gray: [shakes head] I remember the controversy the older version of this song had, and I honestly felt the judges had validity in asking for a resubmission. Despite the heated argument by both supporters and detractors of the track's rejection, I'm really glad GL decided to take another look at this mix and apply his significant skills even further to come out with this updated submission. The track's far more impressive (the increased choir emphasis creates a significantly fuller feel, as well as the low-key, yet ever-present bassline), more indicative of Gray's mixing talents and a genuine keeper for me this time. I'm also glad that GL himself feels more strongly for the track now that he's gone through the added effort of reworking it, instead of simply feeling that it would now make it through the judges' panel. And the work's really paid off with some well-deserved straight-to-postage action (I told you, Gray )! A quality revision, to say the very, very least. Congratulations on the hard work, Gray! You da man!

Hmmm...I dunno, Edge. The archives are all done in 24kbps/22khz/mono format to go for a smaller file size with the download, so I'm not sure if anyone would be interested in getting a CD of the shows if the bitrate isn't high. If you would be interested nonetheless, I may seriously do something like that. For the upcoming Homestarrunner.com interview, I'm definitely going to see what we can do at WMRE (and with any listeners, as well) with recording that show in at least a 128kbps bitrate. Thanks for the interest, Edge. You should hang out in the AIM chat room if you wanna check out the show live next week.
