Nerd Noise Radio - Channel F - John’s Picks from FaceOff Friday - vol. 1 (Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 1 - C1E18 - Nov. 2017)

EDIT: Sorry I was a bit late on getting the blog post up for this! As of this writing, there is still an opportunity to get in on the contest. Just e-mail me at nerdnoiseradio@gmail.com and 3rd person to e-mail is in. As of 7:32 pm Central Standard Time, Dec 30th, 2017, there have been two e-mails. So next one to e-mail wins. Get in on it! :-)

Cheers!



This is John’s picks from Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 1’s C1E18: Face-Off Friday - vol. 1 (Nov. 2017).

I’ve hidden the version details in this track list so as not to “blow the punchline”. However, track list provided at the end of the episode does list the version info. Also, in the case of the YouTube video version, there’s a pop-up for each track, and those provide version info as well. Also, I had one tie, where both (or all) of the versions included in the original episode are still included here.

Though not stated explicitly in this track list, the very astute observer will likely be able to glean where that tie is. Please don’t blow it for everyone. ;-)

Track Number / Game Name / Track Name / Composers / Versions List (Obscured) / Timestamp

01: Intro - 00:00
02: Spiderman vs the Sinister Six - Game Theme 1 - David Whittaker - 03:10
03: Jackie Chan’s Action Kung Fu - Stage 3 - Masakatsu Maekawa - 06:27
04: Genocide 2 - Refreshing Breeze - Hideyuki Shimono and/or Naoyuki Kimora - 08:16

06: Snatcher - Endless Pursuer - Konami Kuheiha Club - 14:54
07: Salamander (aka Life Force) - Power of Anger - Konami Kukeiha Club - 16:03
08: Final Fantasy VI - Serpent Road - Nobuo Uematsu - 17:08
09: Gunstar Heroes - Seven Force - Norio Hanzawa - 19:10
10: Wolfchild - Ancient Temple - c. Martin Iveson (possibly a: Matt Furniss) - 21:22
11: Star Cruiser - Main Theme - Toshiya Yamanaka - 23:51

17: Spiderman/X-Men - Storm Theme - 40:49
18: Castlevania III (or Akumajou Densetsu) - Demon Seed - Konami Kukeiha Club - 49:17
19: NBA JAM - Team Select (or possibly Game Over) - Jon Hey - 50:44
20: Outro - 53:16

Stay tuned to Nerd Noise Radio - Channel F. Content will come out as it’s available, rather than on a regular, or semi-regular schedule as is the case with Channel 1. In some cases, this will mean a bunch of content coming out rapid-fire. In other cases, there may be months in-between new content. Please do not unsubscribe during those drought periods.

Also, a reminder: there is a contest! Third person to e-mail me at nerdnoiseradio@gmail.com will get to curate their own list of picks from Face-Off Friday - vol. 1, and I will produce and release it on Channel F in late January.

Lastly, since this was produced on 12/28/17, it is the one-year anniversary of the passing of my dear friend, Chris Chandler, and thus, this production is dedicated to his memory. To hear a fuller tribute to him, see Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 1 - C1E10: “Mishmash Monday - vol. 1”.

Until next time! Fly the N!!!

Cheers!

NNR August 2017 Special Announcements




Special Announcement about "Super-Sized Episodes" - Episode 15, Episode 16, and so on.

VERY IMPORTANT (PLEASE READ!!!!): I KNEW I was going to forget something! I also wanted to talk about "Nerd Noise Radio Crossovers" episodes.

So, all Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 1 episodes fall under one of seven types of episodes:

1) “Scene Sunday" episodes (chiptunes, covers, remixes, non-VGM intersections - all things that are NOT video game music per se, but relate very closely to it.

2) “Mishmash Monday” episodes (free-play)

3) “TwoFer Tuesday” episodes (free-play, but in pairs)

4) “Wayback Wednesday” episodes (greatest hits, retrospectives, and re-runs)

5) “Theme Thursday” episodes (music of a common genre, series, system, composer….you name it, just some kind of common theme that binds all included tracks together)

6) “FaceOff Friday” episodes (presenting one or more version of each track, and asking you to pick a winner

and finally

7) “Soundtrack Saturday” episodes (I trust this one requires no explanation).
And of course, whatever type of episode it is is also what day of the week that episode releases.   

Well, "Nerd Noise Radio Crossover" episodes are episodes that "merge" or "fuse" two or more of the above into a "hybrid focus" episode. Such as a "TwoFer Theme Thursday", or a "Soundtrack FaceOff", or what have you. 

So that they don't get out of hand, we'll probably only do one or maaaaaaybe two of these a year. But the reason I wanted to mention it now is because not only will our next episode, Episode 15 be our first ever "Super-Sized" Episode, but it will also be our first ever "Crossover" episode as well - specifically, a "TwoFer Theme Thursday".

So, be ready for that! :-)

Also, one last thing: this was the first thing NNR related that I did where I did not use a script to record. I thought about editing out the "ums" and the pauses, but thought, nah, this is a great piece of "John starting out", so that when Channel 2 launches, and I'm doing a lot more talking, we'll be able to compare me then to me now - and hopefully I'll have improved a lot. This rough audio may well be a very valuable (and heart warming) thing for me to have as cross-reference material later. 

So, enjoy (or at least endure) the "ums" and pauses. They’re for posterity! :-)


Cheers!
