ep43: bitterersweeter symphony
it was a travel week this week, so i have broken the emergency glass and revived an old favorite format: today we'll hear some very long -- dare we say symphonic? -- video game songs, interrupted by covers of The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony."
i enjoy this, because it lets us hear the depth and scope that some vgm works can achieve, while allowing us to simultaneously more deeply investigate Schrödinger's Pop Song: is "Bittersweet Symphony" a meme? is it earnestly good? or is it a superposition of all the states in between?
we'll also end with the most epic chiptune cover that exists, as a treat.
