For posterity...
10/30/07
I was in a bit of a rush yesterday, so thanks to Richie from thatguys for taking a snap of the eBay page with Ray's pic on it.
Not the best quality, I know, but you can cleary see Ray and his amazing fake moustache!

Double wow...
10/29/07
...I was doing my usual check for Ray McVay LPs on eBay - imagine my surprise when I saw one of the sellers has used my picture of Ray from the back of the Roadshow album to illustrate the sale.
It's obviously mine, because I doubt anyone else in the world has stuck a fak -
Wow...

...Mullets Galore has updated!
If you've never checked out this site, then do! It's brilliant and after over a year of nothing happening, there's finally been an update!
I seriously thought the guy who ran it had died or something.

Apologies for the lateness in posting this. I'm without internet at home at the moment, which obviously complicates updating a site!

An introduction to Manga
10/25/07
For those that wonder what this manga thing is all about, wired.com has produced an excellent beginner's guide to. It's obviously US-biased, but it's a good primer for the Manga novice. Remember, read right to left!

Dance Ulala, Dance!
10/24/07
Here's a video of Ulala's motion capture dancer, Nazu Nahoko (who in her time has been a backing dancer for Michael Jackson) doing her thing at what looks like either the Space Channel 5 Part 2 launch or the best SEGA party ever. So you CAN pull those moves off in reality!

Great Boss Battles: Evila
10/23/07
Created by Space Channel 5 CEO Chief Blank, Evila is modelled on Ulala and was created to be the perfect reporter. She appears in the final stage of the game in an awe-inspiring dance-off with Ulala. This boss battle isn't particuarly hard, but it's a lot of fun. when Ulala say -
I can has Jill sammich?
10/22/07
Thatguys have recently started a new series called icanhasjillsammich, a Resident Evil spin-off of the icanhascheezburger craze. Have a look, and if you're feeling inspired, then put your pictures through the cheezburgerfactory and submit them to: icanhasjillsammich@thatguys.co.uk -
All about Panzer Dragoon...
10/21/07
I talked a fair bit about Panzer Dragoon in show 27, so it's only fair that I do a post on what is an excellent series.
The first Panzer Dragoon was one of the launch titles for the Sega Saturn, and laid the foundations for the series' style with its unique Panzer la -

Okami on the Wii!
10/19/07
That's right, people! The Golden Age of Videogames continues with the announcement of Okami for the Wii. It's just a port, but it means Wii owners without a PS2 will get the chance to play Clover's utterly beautiful and engrossing RPG, with the brush technique gameplay per -
Diversion: show 27 - Big Bad Boss Music - 18/10/2007
10/19/07
Bwahahahaha...here's the playlist for what I hope was a nostalgic listen for some. I certainly had fun putting this show together (and recording Space Channel 5).

Ulala makes appearance in Sega Superstar Tennis!
10/19/07
Ulala takes a break from her Swingin' Report Show to play a bit of tennis against Sonic, Tails and the monkey from Samba De Amigo.
Unlike her cameos in other games like Sonic Riders and Beach Spikers, it looks like Ulala is going to be a playable character from the start. -
Wanted: Big Bad Boss Music suggestions
10/14/07
This week's show is going to be two hours of video game boss music. I obviously have tracks that I want to play, but are there any pieces of boss music that you would like to hear? It doesn't have to be a final boss, it can be an end-of-level boss, a sub-boss, a mini-boss - as -
Thirteen-odd years on, he still remembers all the words...

Gah - I'll admit I wasn't exactly in the zone for this show. Too much playing Okami and not enough putting the playlist together. Ah well, hope you enjoyed it anyway...

The curse of Silent Hill...
10/09/07
I made an MP3 of the Silent Hill Music that messed up in show 25 and have also uploaded the song as it should be so you can hear how different they are. The really odd part of it is that the song played fine when I was pre-fading it, but went weird only when it went live. It might be som -
My record collection confessions (part 3)
10/08/07
Tony Christie is probably best known for the song 'Is This the Way to Amarillo?', which had a resurgence in popularity in the UK when it was covered by comedian Peter Kay.
I first heard of Tony Christie through a TV theme tunes compilation that had 'Avenues and -
The Chop Chop Master Onion trilogy and more!
10/07/07
I played the Chop Chop Master Onion songs from all the Parappa games in show 25. Here are videos of the songs in action. It's hard to find You Tube videos where players HAVEN'T recorded themselves showing off, so the songs sound a little different to the versions I played on th -
One Piece music clips from show 25
10/06/07
I played a couple of One Piece tracks on my last show - here are the You Tube clips of the episodes where I originally heard them.
First up, the infamous Sogeking theme - a parody of many an anime opening, done with the usual One Piece charm.

If you look at the 'Links' section under the RSS boxes, you'll see a new page called Update Log. This is where I'll make notes of any behind-the-scenes changes I make to the site (for example, Yasushi Ishii now has a MySpace page so I've fixed all his links in previous playl -

I was just in the mood for playing cheesy, energetic (mostly) Japanese anime and video game music. Everyone has to geek out once in a while, yeah?
Oh, and I fully expected the Listen Again rant at the start of the show not to get included - what irony, eh?
This was quite an eve
