With Tis
subbing for cynthia!
50% video game soundtracks (100%, today!!) with 110% heart. we're gonna dance, we're gonna feel
feelings, and we're gonna make connections.
ep tau: twinkle snow
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?

Ossy

to further kick off the new year
Scurrow Squirrel
3:07:19 PM
Also I figured out there is a part of the Emerson lake Palmer song "brain surgery salad" that sounds SUSPICIOUSLY like the Dr. MARIO chill song
Scurrow Squirrel
3:07:43 PM
https://youtu.be/p4fVQkL08Uo?si=QYjVyJ75AU7Lsojq. If you go to 31:36 in the song
Ossy
3:10:54 PM
This chocolava lake, similar to the music of super mario odyssey, when venturing into dangerous places...since bananza is like the prelude to odyssey
Ossy
3:11:08 PM

Tis (host)
3:11:40 PM
Yes, super similar sound overall I gather? @Scurrow I need to peep that track! @Max F nailed it
Ossy
3:14:05 PM

Tis (host)

@Ossy I believe we hit 3/4
Ossy
3:33:18 PM
Speaking zelda, I like the end of the ice cavern of ocarina of time, when shiek meets you to teach you the serenade of water song, after getting the metal boots for the water temple, as well the ice providence region, beyond zora's kingdom in twilight princess!
Tis (host)
3:34:36 PM
I should replay OoT, I always reach for Majora's first, but they're both good
Ossy
3:36:09 PM
Tis - oh yes! And considering the deviantart link has the ice places I visited, with spyro one of them! Yes, majora's mask is great too and now you mentioned it, I like snowhead mountain and its scary temple, filled with many hostile monsters!
Ossy
3:38:00 PM
notebook dream rosasolis loves the game, and knows it by heart, even telling me I'll get used to the 3 day cycle. The best I also like is the alien ghost invasion on romani ranch.
Tis (host)
3:39:46 PM
@Ossy Snowhead temple almost made it in here, but things didn't skew quite spooky enough
Tis (host)
3:40:03 PM
The alien invasion does rule tho :)
Ossy
3:41:46 PM
the scariest for me is the bottom of ikana well!
Tis (host)
3:42:28 PM
ugh, rosasolis is right, that game is so good :D

haha, for shiver star planet, the kirby fandom headcanon thinks it's earth from the distant past that was frozen over to the present, lol

Reference to the spirit people in the mines. They were known as knockers, in case I was misconstrued. Anything is possible these days. '

I have a funny story for you Richard. There was a great racquetball player. Also a brilliant stock trader. Victor Niederhoffer He was also brilliant on the racquetball court. Did you ever meet him?
Ossy
4:38:18 PM
Nerdy tis for earlier - yeah, especially there's an abandoned mall on that planet! Plus, cool on repeat Ice Cap(Sonic 3 and Knuckles game)
Tis (host)
4:39:50 PM
@Ossy i checked to see if i'd played it before, and I'd already played act 2, but not act 1, so i think i'm in the clear O:)
Ossy
4:43:02 PM
Either way, both are so chilly cool like the entire scenery there! Great golden middle school era days, Friday and the weekend

Hi Tis!! I've been really enjoying yr show today! Just a heads up - I will be broadcasting remotely today, so the signal should automatically switch over after the ads!
Scurrow Squirrel
4:49:37 PM
I also just found a few months ago that the ice cap zone is based on a song called "Hard times" by the jetzons
Tis (host)
4:49:48 PM
@Liz yaaaaaaaaay, lovely to see you, thanks, and have a great show!!
Ossy
4:49:57 PM
