A plethora of music graces the show this week, including FOURTEEN entries from Dwelling of Duels’ Brevity Month, cuts from the currently in-progress Sonic Zone ReMix Competition 2014, a preview from David L. Puga’s upcoming original album Die On My Feet, and more! Kyle and Larry discuss the Mamoru Samuragochi scandal, if modern video game music is inherently worse than classic chiptunes (SPOILER: it isn’t), Alexander Brandon’s Just Fun Kickstarter, obscure beat’em ups, and even some Super Bowl and Royal Rumble shenanigans.
