From the earliest 8-bit micro masterpieces of back in the day, to the full-blown orchestral epics that provide the soundtrack to the mind-blowing games of today, the music of video games is a wellspring of creativity, imagination and musical adventurousness.

Here is where ATTT comes in, with our favorite longtime regular guest, the Old Boy Himself Ryan Blake bringing his progeny in tow to talk video game music. Ryan's son Jasper Blake and Jasper's trusted sidekick Elliott Blake help round out this conversation with a younger perspective and wider knowledge of some of the best video game soundtracks being made today.

"I can always choose, but I ought to know that if I do not choose, I am still choosing. There is no human nature, since there is no god to conceive it. Existentialism's first move is to make every man aware of what he is and to make the full responsibility of his existence rest on him." - Jean-Paul Sartre

2024 is the perfect year to bring back this well-worn and well-loved topic of ours. Of course if we're talking existentialism and rock n roll, we need to bring back ATTT's very own Rock N Roll Philosopher, Sir Gabe Scalone. We're back with more picks that land somewhere between existential dread, existential wonder and a full-blown existential crisis. The good news is the music is sublime and this topic gives us a chance to take a few detours on our quest to find the best songs that ask the questions we all have about this weird life. Part 1 features picks 10-6.

It's been called the most shocking American youth movement in history. When it stormed out of the gates in the 1970s, punk rock told the world that the way things are is unacceptable. The people that defined the scene spit in the face of conformity and the social order, and they did it with humor, irreverence and musical brutality. The punk scene in Los Angeles was (and still is) home to some of the most iconic personalities of the genre, and was led by bands that defined it as they was simultaneously transcending it. Here in TOP TEN L.A. PUNK BANDS Part 2, we wrap up our conversation with the mensch of the hour Severo, who brings his musical insight and wit to the proceedings as we reveal picks 5-1 .

For decades, the thriving punk scene in Los Angeles has pushed boundaries, invented entire subgenres out of whole cloth, and provided the sonic and visual blueprint for the rest of the world to follow. The LA punk scene has also been home to some of the most iconic bands in the history of the genre. It's a fascinating look through the decades, and one we're super stoked to get into. TOP TEN L.A. PUNK BANDS is a golden opportunity to introduce a new voice and personality to the ATTT universe. We're excited to sit down with legendary musician and all-around swell fellow Severo, who brings some great insight to this topic as well as more than a few laughs. Picks 10-6 are revealed in Part 1.
