We are back again, and this time we're returning to a classic show theme for another Part 2, this one focusing on the Five-Finger Fanfare (a term coined by the Super Marcato Bros. on their excellent and seminal VGM podcast). This is a term used to describe a run of 5 notes that line up with the first 5 notes of the minor scale - a technique used frequently in video game music. Will you be able to hear the Five-Finger Fanfares in each piece of Very Good Music the hosts brought to this episode? Only one way to find out!

As always, we appreciate our amazing patrons who supported us for so long, as well as the artists who made our show art and theme song. You can reach out to us one of these ways:

Greetings, game music lovers. It's been a while, hasn't it? Shootkapow and I decided to dust off the old podcast for y'all after she encountered a game area in Celeste that she thought would make a great episode topic. I guess she was just feeling homesick and nostalgic, and dear old Dad was there to fire up the VGM-Mobile and get back on the road - for at least one more round of Very Good Music!

Thanks again to our listeners and supporters who recommended tracks for this episodes!

Part 2 was originally intended to be a one-episode listener recap. Instead, it evolved into three parts of its own! In this episode, the second of the three, we start by featuring blocks of tracks suggested by keyglyph (including a special cameo from key!) and VGM uber-fan UtopiaNemo. Then, Prof Jeff joins Bedroth again to discuss 12 tracks recommended by VGM podcast listeners - all of which are, of course Very Good Music.

Join us for Part 2-3 tomorrow for ProfJeff's Masters of VGM!

In June of 2022 (and stretching into July), over a dozen VGM podcasts came together to honor our favorite composers in what came to be called Masers of VGM. But how did it happen? And who ended up on the list?

There are too many composers for me to list here (literally - word count wouldn't even allow me to list all the names, let alone attribute the songs we're playing or the games we're from), so you'll have to listen to this recap to find out. But trust us - everything is 100% very good music!

Join us for part 2 some time this week to hear some of our listeners' choices for the Masters of VGM event!

Thanks as always to our amazing artists who made our show art and theme song. You can reach out to us one of these ways:
