We are back again, and this time we're returning to a classic show theme for another Part 2, this one focusing on the Five-Finger Fanfare (a term coined by the Super Marcato Bros. on their excellent and seminal VGM podcast). This is a term used to describe a run of 5 notes that line up with the first 5 notes of the minor scale - a technique used frequently in video game music. Will you be able to hear the Five-Finger Fanfares in each piece of Very Good Music the hosts brought to this episode? Only one way to find out!
As always, we appreciate our amazing patrons who supported us for so long, as well as the artists who made our show art and theme song. You can reach out to us one of these ways:

Greetings, game music lovers. It's been a while, hasn't it? Shootkapow and I decided to dust off the old podcast for y'all after she encountered a game area in Celeste that she thought would make a great episode topic. I guess she was just feeling homesick and nostalgic, and dear old Dad was there to fire up the VGM-Mobile and get back on the road - for at least one more round of Very Good Music!
Thanks again to our listeners and supporters who recommended tracks for this episodes!

In June of 2022 (and stretching into July), over a dozen VGM podcasts came together to honor our favorite composers in what came to be called Masers of VGM.
Part 2 was originally intended to be a one-episode listener recap. Instead, it evolved into three parts of its own! In this third and final episode you're in for some Very Good Music as Bedroth and his guest discuss ProfJeff's Masters of VGM!

Part 2 was originally intended to be a one-episode listener recap. Instead, it evolved into three parts of its own! In this episode, the second of the three, we start by featuring blocks of tracks suggested by keyglyph (including a special cameo from key!) and VGM uber-fan UtopiaNemo. Then, Prof Jeff joins Bedroth again to discuss 12 tracks recommended by VGM podcast listeners - all of which are, of course Very Good Music.
Join us for Part 2-3 tomorrow for ProfJeff's Masters of VGM!

Part 2 was originally intended to be a one-episode listener recap. Instead, it evolved into three parts of its own! In this episode, the first of the three, Prof Jeff joins the party to help discuss Bedroth's honorable mentions for the event - composers who didn't quite make his Mount Rushmore, but still deserve recognition for their Very Good Music.
Join us for Part 2-2 tomorrow for the listener showcase event, featuring additional commentary by ProfJeff and a cameo from the wonderful keyglyph of The VGM Jukebox and Sound Test Roulette podcasts!

In June of 2022 (and stretching into July), over a dozen VGM podcasts came together to honor our favorite composers in what came to be called Masers of VGM. But how did it happen? And who ended up on the list?
There are too many composers for me to list here (literally - word count wouldn't even allow me to list all the names, let alone attribute the songs we're playing or the games we're from), so you'll have to listen to this recap to find out. But trust us - everything is 100% very good music!
Join us for part 2 some time this week to hear some of our listeners' choices for the Masters of VGM event!
Thanks as always to our amazing artists who made our show art and theme song. You can reach out to us one of these ways:

Greetings, Gamers!
On this special bonus episode of Very Good Music, Bedroth is proud to present his VGM podcasting colleague Andre, host of the Brazilian O Som do Cartucho podcast! As one of only three international podcasts joining the event, and as the only podcast whose regular episodes have been released entirely in a language other than English, “Cartridge’s Sound” definitely lends a unique flavor to the proceedings.
There was a bit of confusion at first as to whether this episode would be posted on the BGMania thread or the Very Good Music thread. However, since VGMVGM won’t be posting another regular episode for at least a couple weeks, and BGMania has a full slate of episodes for July, we opted to present it for you here.
We hope you enjoy one of the final episodes in the inaugural Masters of VGM event!

Well, everyone, we've made it. This is the big one. Not 50. Not 100. Not an anniversary.
Episode 69. Nice.
In all seriousness, we're not doing anything naughty on this episode. Quite the contrary - Bedroth and Shootkapow have invited Dusklight back onto the show to discuss music from games that are just...nice. We hope you enjoy this very special helping of Very Nice Music.

This week, Bedroth is joined by his two youngest daughters, Flare and Luna. The kids have been very excited to do their first podcast, and after a lot of back-and-forth, decided to talk about one of their favorite games to play together: Pikuniku.
The game, released in 2019 by Devolver Digital and developed by French-British indie collective Sectordub, stars a strange, red, ovoid creature named Piku (whose orange counterpart, Niku, is the avatar for player 2), as he takes on the megalomaniacal Mr. Sunshine, who wants to strip the land of all its resources, which he will use to hatch an even more nefarious plot. The single-player mode is a puzzle-platforming adventure, while the two-player mode includes both a cooperative adventure and competitive mini-games.
The clever, lighthearted soundtrack by Calum Boen (sometimes known simply as Bo En)perfectly complimentes the simple, childlike art style designed by Arnaud De Bock (also the game's creator) and the quirky, humorous story by Remi Forcadel.
You can find Calum at https://www.youtube.com/user/calumbowen and http://bo-en.info/, and you can check out (and purchase!) the Pikuniku soundtrack at https://calumbowen.bandcamp.com/album/pikuniku-original-soundtrack.
For more about the soundtrack, check out Kate Remington's interview with Calum on Music Respawn: http://www.respawnshow.com/home-1/2019/2/7/calum-bowens-funny-lighthearted-soundtrack-for-pikuniku

This week, Bedroth and Shootkapow are joined by Shootkapow's little brother, whose podcast personal is "Lemon Boy". Lemon Boy has made a couple of brief appearances before, but this time he is bringing his 10 favorite tracks from a game that has been taking up a lot of his attention: Cuphead!
The 2017 indie sensation, developed and published by Studio MDHR, the company started by brothers Chad and Jared Moldenhauer, became famous for its unique visual aesthetic inspired by classic robber-hose animation style, as well as its high degree of difficulty. Also highly praised is the game's soundtrack, composed by Ontario jazz musician Kristofer Maddigan and performed by live jazz and big band musicians.
