I don’t have a lot to report today, but I do have a couple things lined up for you tomorrow. Today, however, there is a nice big plug.
It’s been a longtime favourite of mine, and it’s even got its own little spot on the sidebar there. Overclocked Remix is a site dedicated to remixing video game tunes. Sure, it’s not for everyone, as some people will look at you like you’re retarded if you tell them you like video game music. But me, I practically bathe in the stuff. If bathing were the act of listening to stuff all the time. But I digress. You may think that the site would be full of techno, right? you’re horribly wrong. There are remixes of all genres here, from techno to rock to latin jazz to rap. There are even a few songs that have full vocals to go with the tunes. If you’re looking for somewhere to start, I recommend “A Rose for Zelda”, “Da Black Market” and “The Atomizer”, the former two are currently on the main page, but you’ll have to look up the latter. And if you feel like a more in-depth experience, the site features torrents of a huge amount of songs, as well as “remix projects” that take whole soundtracks and remix them entirely. All in all, even if you don’t like video game music, chances are that you’ll find something you enjoy here.
