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.

Bonus Episode 11: VGMVGM Presents O Som do Cartucho's Masters of VGM!
Greetings, Gamers! On this special bonus episode of Very Good Music, Bedroth is proud to present his VGM podcasting colleague Andre, host of the Brazilian O Som do Cartucho podcast! As one of only three international podcasts joining the event, and as the only podcast whose regular episodes have been released entirely in a language other than English, “Cartridge’s Sound” definitely lends a unique flavor to the proceedings. There was a bit of confusion at first as to whether this episode would be posted on the BGMania thread or the Very Good Music thread. However, since VGMVGM won’t be posting another regular episode for at least a couple weeks, and BGMania has a full slate of episodes for July, we opted to present it for you here. We hope you enjoy one of the final episodes in the inaugural Masters of VGM event! Very Good Music is proudly affiliated with RPGEra.com (rpgera.com/)!

Episode 67: Pikuniku (with Flare and Luna)
This week, Bedroth is joined by his two youngest daughters, Flare and Luna. The kids have been very excited to do their first podcast, and after a lot of back-and-forth, decided to talk about one of their favorite games to play together: Pikuniku. The game, released in 2019 by Devolver Digital and developed by French-British indie collective Sectordub, stars a strange, red, ovoid creature named Piku (whose orange counterpart, Niku, is the avatar for player 2), as he takes on the megalomaniacal Mr. Sunshine, who wants to strip the land of all its resources, which he will use to hatch an even more nefarious plot. The single-player mode is a puzzle-platforming adventure, while the two-player mode includes both a cooperative adventure and competitive mini-games. The clever, lighthearted soundtrack by Calum Boen (sometimes known simply as Bo En)perfectly complimentes the simple, childlike art style designed by Arnaud De Bock (also the game's creator) and the quirky, humorous story by Remi Forcadel. You can find Calum at https://www.youtube.com/user/calumbowen and http://bo-en.info/, and you can check out (and purchase!) the Pikuniku soundtrack at https://calumbowen.bandcamp.com/album/pikuniku-original-soundtrack. For more about the soundtrack, check out Kate Remington's interview with Calum on Music Respawn: http://www.respawnshow.com/home-1/2019/2/7/calum-bowens-funny-lighthearted-soundtrack-for-pikuniku Thanks as always to our amazing patrons and the artists who made our show art and theme song.

Episode 66: Cuphead (With Lemon Boy)
This week, Bedroth and Shootkapow are joined by Shootkapow's little brother, whose podcast personal is "Lemon Boy". Lemon Boy has made a couple of brief appearances before, but this time he is bringing his 10 favorite tracks from a game that has been taking up a lot of his attention: Cuphead! The 2017 indie sensation, developed and published by Studio MDHR, the company started by brothers Chad and Jared Moldenhauer, became famous for its unique visual aesthetic inspired by classic robber-hose animation style, as well as its high degree of difficulty. Also highly praised is the game's soundtrack, composed by Ontario jazz musician Kristofer Maddigan and performed by live jazz and big band musicians.
