BING BONG! IT'S A KNICKS SHOW!! NEW YAWK GAME MUSIC EXCLUSIVELY!!! 💙🧡💙🧡

i did a different rain show last year-ish, kind of an ode to a certain lo-fi ASMR coziness. this is not that show.

this is the rain that raises our concern; the kind that we take shelter from and/or run wild in; the kind that parts our seas; the kind that leaves us awed and grateful.

the seasons have run their course once more, and we stand together at the precipice of another set of midsummer days' dreamings.
as such, it is time to renew our acquiaintance with the weird sisters, with titania, with sycorax, and above all, with our dear patroness mab.

she arrives today with sweet delights, after which she will lighten our feet and set our hearts into feverish motion; perhaps too much so, by the time all is said and done.
but if a dream is merely an invitation to connect -- neurochemical signal to neurochemical signal, sleep to waking, past to present, sounds to fury to nothingness -- then perhaps we can forgive her some of her eagerness, and connect with her as she draws the dream to a close.

on the occasion of this, the immediate aftermath of our yearly membership drive; in celebration of the fine music- and community-driven institution that we have here in WPRB; in gratitude for the breadth and depth of the contributions made by listeners, sponsors, and volunteers; in solidarity with selfsame; with firm resolve to continue to provide dope, meaningful tunes on the regular, i present to you this collection of songs for your aural perusal.

the blizzard's a-coming, and in its honor is this collection of video game snow music. there's a large collection of it, because for a while there, it felt like every game had to have That One Ice Level. consequently, a weird kind of musical vernacular emerged: some of it borrowed from christmas carols or other programmatic music, some of it weirdly unique to the video games of the 1990s and after. let's see if we can catch it as we move across different game genres, moods, and energy levels. what does winter sound like to you?

another year, another sub shift spinning the best vgm the year had to offer.

2025 might not have brought much peace in video game music land, but it did bring a wild creativity and intimacy, especially in the indie scene. genre convention lies seemingly dead, and new experiments in palette and narrative have grown up out of its body. all featured games released in 2025.

let's hear some, and use what we learn to build a better peace when the right time comes.

for those that don't know, there is a long, long, long-awaited video game called Silksong that came out one week ago, and it is about bugs. it got me thinking about bugs, and bug music.

and in music, some bugs are just lil' guys. but some are creepy. and some are, like, weirdly horny?

some bugs seem vile. some seem industrious.

but all of the bugs are beautiful, if you're willing to give them a chance.

it has become a little bit of a tradition for this show that every so often we get together to celebrate the noble Doot...the majestic Honk...indeed, all the calls that a Horn might make.

in this installment, while we will continue to make some time for joy, we will also honor the original purpose of the Horn itself: to call people together for gathering, or even for battle.

we will remember that all doots are solidarity doots.

it was just recently my birthday, so i'm gifting this playlist of songs i believe in; not just songs i know are good, but songs i know have been good to me.

in going through it, we'll tour all the ideal birthday party moods: "oh i couldn't possibly," "i guess we'll try it," <full-on headbanging>, and "all is well with the cosmos."

thank you for joining me this year; here's to many, many more.
