“It is only through mystery and madness that the soul is revealed” – Thomas Moore
Sometimes I spend so much time brainstorming, planning, and crafting these videos that I begin to go a little insane. By the time I’ve spent another 20 hours mashing up samples and slicing videos, I honestly can’t tell if it’s even funny anymore. And after something like that, it always feels good to slap a video together that’s just completely insane.
Hideki Naganuma is an acclaimed videogame music composer best known for his work on the Jet Set Radio series. However, he also produced tracks for other lesser known games like Sega Rally 2006, Ollie King, and Sonic Rush. Blending elements of techno, funk, hip hop, and madcap sampling of the big beat genre, Naganuma’s style is often both wildly eclectic yet instantly recognizable.
I’m a die hard Naganuma fan and decided to produce this mix in honor of the re-release of Jet Set Radio on Xbox 360 and PS3. While not all encompassing, I think it gives you good taste of his defining uptempo tracks. It’s a bit wild in parts for sure, but I included some visual elements in the video to break down what’s happening in the mix.
Be sure to check out Naganuma on iTunes and Amazon – Sega just re-released the original Jet Set Radio soundtrack. Also, check out this recent interview with him over at RadioSega.net
Finally, to download the mix as a video or MP3, use the links below.
While Zagat now rates Big Hot Sho Brooklyn as the most disgusting thing happening in New York City – it was a very different place in the 1980′s. Williamsburg still went to the prom, Spotify was wireless, and Time’s square had more pornography then uncle Jimmy’s sock drawer. This week the gang examines the ardent holdout of the 1980′s porn theater.

This week the guys explore the nightmare corners of the internet to uncover the mysteries of the dreaded meme. How are these terrors created? How can they hang around YEARS after everyone is sick of them? And seriously, fuck you photos of cats with misspelled captions.

This week, the BHS Brooklyn guys learn that not everything from their childhood is as innocent as it might seem. Do video games further a culture of violence in today’s youth? Is standardized testing a valuable metric for academic talent? Are treasure trolls secretly destroying gender identity to create a new jewel-encrusted master race?
Also this week Ken scoffs at dog obsessions, Matt dissects New York city brunch culture, and we all learn that Iraq is exactly 16 Americas away. You can also follow the hosts on Twitter – Matt (twitter.com/cheesegod69), Ken (twitter.com/ahuj9), and Blake (twitter.com/blakebuck).

Everybody is afraid of something – some silly childhood phobia that lurks in the corner of your mind. Ken was afraid of aliens. Matt was afraid of escalators. Blake is still afraid of books. Will the Big Hot Sho crew conquer their greatest fears? Or just get drunk and shout about that movie where Sam Jackson get’s eaten by a shark?
Also this week Ken camps with LARPers, no one can speak a foreign language despite years of training, and we setup a new circumcision hotline at 845-A-CUT-JEW. You can also follow the hosts on Twitter – Matt (twitter.com/cheesegod69), Ken (twitter.com/ahuj9), and Blake (twitter.com/blakebuck).

If you’re anything like the hosts of the Big Hot Sho Brooklyn, your teenage years were spent playing Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and Diablo 2 as a thinly veiled excuse to avoid developing desperately needed social skills. Luckily kids, most of these painful memories can be washed away with a sea of alcohol abuse and broken dreams.
Also this week the guys talk about cyberdating nightmares, deporting IKEA designers, and sneaking a tagalong into a wake. You can also follow the hosts on Twitter – Matt (twitter.com/cheesegod69), Ken (twitter.com/ahuj9), and Blake (twitter.com/blakebuck).
