For over fifty episodes the Legacy Music Hour churned out unique, non-repeating themes... and then came Elevator Music 2!  This musical flavor is so quirky, interesting, and good that the boizz decided to revisit it before any others.  So get ready to drift away like you're on hold, in a waiting room, or riding to the top floor with this group of jams that are most certainly worth a

For Episode 186, Brent is joined by Spencer Crittenden from the TV show HarmonQuest and the Harmontown podcast and who also happens to be a Legacy Music Hour user.  Rob is still recovering from the broken leg, but he'll most likely be back for the next episode.  Full track

This is it, users!  To celebrate the end of each LMH year, both boizz count down their top ten favorite new musical discoveries.  Brent and Rob switch (haha) off their selections at each level, so you'll hear both #10s, then both #9s, and so on up to the ultimate #1s.  This tradition may be a little more difficult to follow in mixtape form, but all you really need to know is that
