Singing Mountain, A VGM Podcast

Last year, I celebrated the season with a trove of icy blue tracks from wintery video game levels, with none of the mirth and jingle of most Christmastime music. This year, I intended to go cheerier… but I didn't, and instead I'm given you more chilled-to-the-touch levels that evoke Christmas eve in an ice cave. Stay cool. This episode is a sequel to Episode 12, Diamond Dust.

It never left Japan and it's not the best known of Square's 16 bit-era RPG outings, but Live a Live should be notable to VGM fans at least for having a great soundtrack composed by Yoko Shimomura. It bridges the gap between her Street Fighter II phase and the work she composes today for games like Kingdom Hearts.

Sometimes great video game music doesn't end up in the finalized video game, but that doesn't mean it's gone forever. Singing Mountain celebrates its fiftieth episode (!) with a playlist of lesser-known, lesser-heard music from famous franchises, including Super Mario Bros., Sonic, Final Fantasy, Streets of Rage, Mega Man, Ys, Castlevania and of course Chrono Trigger, the game whose "lost" track gave this podcast its name.

Little Nemo: The Dream Master was a NES-era Capcom platformer that didn't star a robot or a gargoyle or a millionaire duck. This title was one of the tougher 8-bit platformers, but it was also one of the best composed, with a soundtrack by Junko Tamiya that features melodies that will stick with you… or at least stuck with Drew for almost three decades.

In a Singing Mountain first, this episode features a person who is not me: Katherine Spiers, friend and business partner, comes in to talk about TableCakes, the Los Angeles-based podcast network we started together and what that means for Singing Mountain listeners. She also talks about growing up being the stepdaughter of Howard Phillips, the American spokesperson for Nintendo back in the NES days and then we play a loosely structured game about video game music. Plus two stories about Macaulay Culkin and one about New Kids on the Block!

Singing Mountain's celebration of Halloween comes to an end with the most Halloween-appropriate fighting series in history, Darkstalkers. This is a "music only" episode befitting the season, but Drew is pledging to give this franchise a fully annotated spotlight episode one day.

Why does creepy music sound even creepier when channeled through a Game Boy? Maybe it's that we still think of the Game Boy as a system we played on family trips. Maybe we think about it being more innocent, like when we were kids. Regardless the reason, when it skews sinister it gets uncomfy real fast, and this Halloween episode features some of the most unsettling music yet. BTW, this episode is limited to creamed spinach-era Game Boy and Game Boy Color only.
