Last week, my best buddy on Steemit @fromage and I went and made ourselves a podcast. We talked about the best/our favorite video game soundtracks. You can check that out here on his channel. We had so much fun that we decided to continue with episode 2 of what I am tentatively calling the "These are a few of my favorite best things" podcast. It's over an hour, so it's quite the time commitment, but I hope you'll enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.
How do you listen to an hour-long podcast, you say? Well, I like to listen to podcasts while I'm doing something else and just have it on in the background. There's no plot to follow, there's no test at the end... it's just something fun to have on while you're cleaning, working out, cooking, driving, or whatever. I'm not expecting you to sit down and block out an hour of your life to listen to this is I guess what I'm saying!
Anyway, if you do have a listen, let me know what you think! We're probably going to continue with this for at least another week or two. It's a lot of fun!
As I said, this episode is about favorite/best movie soundtracks. I came up with my list based on soundtracks which I thought elevated the movie to a higher level than could have been achieved without the music. In other words, Schindler's List doesn't make my list not because it doesn't have a phenomenal soundtrack, but instead because you could set that movie to silence and it would still be just as powerful. The movies in my list all have soundtracks which are better than the films themselves, basically.
Fromage went a different direction with his criteria and picked a lot of songs which are heavy on the vocals and which resonate with him personally.
What about you? See any favorites below? And if we missed something you think should belong, what is your criteria for picking it?
