Thanks
for listening! Join us again Saturday, April 7th for C1E26 (Channel 1, Episode
26): the Mega Man X soundtrack - Delicious VGM(?) on "Noise from the
Hearts of Nerds"! And wherever you are - Fly the N!
WARNING: This
submission is SUPER-DUPER LONG – like “Insane in the Membrane” long!!! Like,
take a week to make the track list long!!! It’s the musical version of a
“tl;dr”. And now for a non-musical version of one, here’s the explanation (with
track list to follow):
If you’re new to Nerd
Noise Radio, and feel this is oppressively long, fear not (and certainly
unsubscribe not)! This is not at all indicative of a standard episode!
Typically, episodes generally find themselves in the half hour to an hour and a
half range. This is a once-a-year super-duper track-fest that is as long as it
is because I couldn’t be more committal!
I created a list of
all “candidate” tracks from 2017 that I would consider for a favorites
episode….and ended up with a whopping 122 tracks! For perspective, an ordinary
episode of NNR is anywhere from 20-35 tracks. So, I started pruning back the
list with the goal of hitting 40 tracks, mayyyybe 60 at the extreme. I started
by cutting the tracks on my list that were already featured via listener picks
on C1E25: The Best of 2017 since you, the listener just heard them a few days
ago. I did include a list at the very bottom of these notes featuring the
tracks that were in C1E25, and were therefore cut from my list so you can know
which tracks they were.
I gradually whittled
my list down to 70 tracks, but couldn’t think of any more to cut. And besides,
with so many tracks that I would’ve wanted featured absent already, and so many
“me tracks” already featured on C1E25, I felt like I was beginning to approach
the precipice of this not being worth doing anymore if I cut too many more out.
It wouldn’t be representative enough, especially when there was already a good
representation of “my tracks” selected by the listeners in the proper Channel 1
episode…..
…..and thus…..
……..a 70 track, 3hr
and 23 minute long music block JUGGERNAUT!!!!
Actually, 71 tracks!
I realized belatedly that in my quest to trim it back, I trimmed out all the
NES tracks….and we just couldn’t have a Best of 2017 episode without AT LEAST
ONE NES TRACK, am I right? There were already a pair of FDS tracks which, to be
fair, is just an NES and then some, but it’s still not quite the same, don’t
you agree? So, our opening track was a last second addition to make sure we got
some real deal NES glory in this monster. I hope you’ll feel it fits.
This is already long
enough that I can’t feature it on the dedicated Channel F feed, so it will only
be appearing on the All Channels Feed, on YouTube, Twitch, Archive, and
Blogspot. Also, due to the extreme length, the customary intro and outro of a
typical Channel 1 episode were cut, meaning that this episode is pretty much
JUST the music block! If you’re catching this via the “video-ified” version on
YouTube or Twitch, I will still include pop-ups for each track. But if you’re
listening to an audio-only version, like podbean (the All Channels Feed), or
Archive, then the ONLY place where you will find track info is in the show
notes! So, they are more important than ever! In the case of YouTube, which has
a character limit for descriptions, I fear that I may run afoul of that, and
may need to move the tracklist to the comments section instead. So just keep an
eye out for that. If you don’t see a track listing in the description, then you
know where to look next. :-)
All that said, I
actually am really proud of this track list – particularly the track ordering.
We start out with a fun, happy block, followed by dark, then intense, then
weird, and then…..well, you’ll just have to tune in to follow the carefully
curated ebb and flow and weave of this winding, twisting musical journey. I
will say that other than our very last track, which has a PERFECT “goodbye”
feel, we wrap things up with a jazz block. So, it’s truly an “all over the
world” musical experience! And how we get from happy, to dark, to intense, to
weird….and then to jazz is a question you’ll have to find out for yourself by
listening. If you can survive the 3 ½ hour non-stop trip, I promise you that it
is the biggest, boldest, broadest, richest, most ambitious journey I’ve taken
you on as a podcaster!
Lastly, I made sure
to get at least one track from every episode in here. Had I been going by pure
preference, the track list may have looked a tiny bit different (though not
much), but having as my secondary goal to get every episode involved, I made the
list the way I did, picking my favorite track(s) from the episode not already
featured on C1E25. In the case of C1E7 (the Sword of Vermilion soundtrack), my
favorite track, Statts, was already taken, and it became a multi-way-tie for
second favorite, so I just chose a track that I thought would go well in the
mix. I chose Dungeon 2.
Anyway, I hope you
enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it! 2017 was a great year for
the program, and I’m convinced you’ll find 2018 even better…..I know I do ----
which means this task for me will be even harder next time! Get ready for 90
tracks next time…..maybe 91! ;-)
Cheers!
-John (Nerd Noise

And
rounding out the power five, an 11th hour power bomb of noise from Elliot
Savva out of the UK took what would've already been an excellent episode,
and made it extraordinary!

Episode 25): "THE BEST OF 2017" (a SUPER-SIZED Episode) - Delicious
VGM on "Noise from the Hearts of Nerds"! And wherever you are - Fly
the N!
Cheers! *= Track is listed in the episode (and was originally listed in the show notes) as "Snaking Pass". Actually, Snaking Pass WAS used in the original draft of the tracklist - so it actually was right originally, but I swapped it out for Mount Ices, as I felt that track worked better in the context of the playlist. I will feature Snaking Pass eventually in a future episode. As I said, this mistake dawned on me too late to feasibly reproduce and re-upload the episode, so I'm just leaving the mistake in there. Hopefully, it'll go down in NNR Lore as something we all smile and chuckle about later. Just know that I did catch the mistake on my own, and didn't have to experience the embarrassment of getting called out on it in the comments later on. Now, perhaps, someone who didn't read the show notes, but did listen to the episode will, in fact, take to the comments section to set me aright. And if this happens, I'll just steer them back to these notes. :-) Cheers!
