"Nucleus" - Alan Parson's Project - I Robot - 1977 - compare this piece to the PS5 Menu music! It's not 1-for-1, but the similarities are unmistakable!....and yes, yes, I chickened out of just putting it in the episode. Figured it wouldn't do to have our year-in-review episode taken off Spotify, right? Anyway, give this track til about the 01:30 mark and then the similarities to the PS5 track will just leap off the page to you - I promise!

(1 of 2) Spotlight Episode 77 - featuring St. John of Nerd Noise Radio*

Spotify (Audio-only):

Today's Broadcast is the entire collection of every single track featured on Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 2 during Calendar 2023 (Season 3).

NOTE 1: The tracks will be presented here in the same order in which they appeared in the original episodes, which in the case of C2E11, C2E12, C2E14, and C2E15 should all flow pretty naturally, as we do strive for at least some solid flow in the track ordering. However, since C2E13 is a focus on composers and follows the composer flow instead of the musical flow, that portion of today's journey may seem more haphazard and all over the place as a result. :-)

NOTE 2: With the lone exception of C2E13, Hugues and I take perfect turns sharing tracks on the episodes, as in, like JHJHJHJ or HJHJHJHJ. But with C2E13, we were taking turns by composer, rather than by track, and we'd each pick a track from each composer, resulting in a turn order that looks more like JHHJJHHJJHHJJH. If you're interested in following along with who picked what as you listen, you're probably better served to follow the track notes for C2E13. With the others, you just have to know who's going first, but C2E13 is more complex, and would require more attention.

* = the Spotlight episode and the Nerd Noise Radio Episode were recorded on the same day, in the same place. And in fact, the amount of real-time that passed between the moment we hit stop on his recording and start on mine was only 10 minutes. Also, St. John note: the experience of being a guest and then a host back to back in such a short span was such a profound mental shift that I actually felt it a little physically! Literally!

St. John’s “Condition Tree” (shut up, it’s GREAT handwriting!!!) 😃

https://photos.app.goo.gl/vzWwQPKUQzgHn5CB6

Links to Autism tests - again, DO NOT take these test results as a SUBSTITUTE for a formal diagnosis by a trained professional. On the other hand, these tests are VERY reliable, so if they do indicate you have autism, you very likely do. Therefore, the advice of St. John is to take the tests, and then take those results and find a professional with whom you can show and discuss them:

Link to C1E35: The Floppy Show (forgive the production quality - which was much worse in 2018. But production quality value aside, this is still a really great collection of music - all from computer games! Also the Ch 1 intros were much more anemic back then, and wouldn’t improve until January 2022 - C1E61! But it’s still a close enough approximation to today’s Channel 1 episodes that if you’re new to Ch 1, it’ll still give you a very good idea of what the show is all about):

You can find Nerd Noise Radio on Facebook and on Twitter each @NerdNoiseRadio. There are also two Facebook Groups: Nerd Noise Radio “Easy Mode” where we just have general video game and nerd fun, or for the gearheads among you, Nerd Noise Radio “Expert Mode” where we deep dive sound hardware, composer info, and music theory. 

You can find the blog at www.nerdnoiseradio.blogspot.com. Where we sometimes share additional show notes, and inside info. You can also find Nerd Noise Radio on Archive.org, where we have remixes and super bonuses only available there (such as a music-only alternative version of today’s show).

Nerd Noise Radio is also a member of the Retro Junkies community, which can be found at www.theretrojunkies.com. And we are a member of the VGM Podcast Fans community on Facebook. St. John is also the admin of the Podcasters of Des Moines Facebook group, which features a number of other podcasters and great programs from the greater Des Moines area.

Thanks for listening! Join us again [DATE TBD] for “A Time and Place for ‘Time and Place’” - a Channel F with Adam Frazier and Elijah Moore on-location at the ISU campus, and then be on the lookout for our best of year-in-review channel 1 and 2 episodes. And wherever you are - Fly the N!

In light of the recent turn of events involving Spotify, and its impact to Nerd Noise Radio in particular, the VGM podcast scene more broadly, and even music podcasts of all types, I wanted to get a special announcement up right away about what's going on, and how Nerd Noise Radio is responding. This announcement is most directly applicable to our Spotify listeners, but applicable more broadly to all listeners of Nerd Noise Radio, and even to non-listeners in the VGM podcast scene - particularly to our fellow podcasters, be they NNR listeners or not.

Today’s Broadcast is C1E80, for Scene Sunday, October 15th, 2023. Today’s episode (our final non-retrospective Ch 1 episode of calendar 2023’s “Season 6”) is a focus on remixes of VGM from various sources, with an emphasis on the OC Remix community, on a program we’re quite simply calling “The Remix Episode”. Today’s episode curated, hosted, and produced ENTIRELY by Hugues - of Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 2 fame! [show notes (including timestamps and tracklist formatting), podcast feed (and Archive) upload, and .wav-to-.mp3 conversion by St. John – literally everything else by Hugues!!]

Music Block Runtime: 01:58:05, Total Episode Runtime: 02:00:46 

Our intro music is the Sega CD Model 2 (North American) BIOS [boot screen] music, composed by David Javelosa. No outro music.

Produced by Hugues, using whatever he typically uses to record and produce. I know this involves Ubuntu Linux (Unity desktop, but not Ubuntu Unity), and a Blue Snowball USB condenser mic. Beyond that, I have no idea! - St. John :-)

[EDITOR’S NOTE: This episode is the flip-side of the C1E79 coin in that where C1E79 was the final episode of NNR ever to be recorded and produced by a non-confirmed autistic person (with the conversation occurring from the perspective of two people who didn’t know for sure yet, and had to be tentative and hesitant about it all), C2E14 is the first episode of NNR ever to be recorded and produced by a confirmed autistic (and where the conversation could occur from a place of certainty and finality). Apologies if anyone feels like I’m making too big of a deal about all of this, but you have to understand that this diagnosis changes EVERYTHING for me! It feels like a 43yr chapter of my life has ended and a new chapter of greater clarity, optimism, self-love, and opportunity has begun. It simply means that much to me, gang! I promise that I won’t keep talking a ton about it for the rest of time - or if I do, I will do so on a separate program dedicated specifically to the subject, but I do beg you to bear with me for now, while this is all still so new for me. :-)
