I for one remember buying No Control after hearing "You" on THPS2, and Ixnay on the Hombre after hearing "Way Down the Line" on Crazy Taxi!Lewis Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14780213240335170126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-16590439633665824442020-05-26T16:50:59.441+00:002020-05-26T16:50:59.441+00:00Thank you for the article.

I didn't know Bad Brains were in Matt Hoffman either, but then I never played that game lol. <br /><br />Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10168446603957528463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-56133482304128693542020-05-24T23:55:23.744+00:002020-05-24T23:55:23.744+00:00Cheers, glad you enjoyed the article!

It was definitely the most fun I've had writing one for the Junkyard yet!<br /><br />The Dreamcast era pretty much coincided with my first deep delves into Punk - so in my head, DC games will be connected with the many, many Hardcore bands I got into about the same time. I distinctly remember playing NBA 2K whilst listening to a compilation of Dutch and Japanese hardcore bands (BGK & Genoa specifically), and I have some strange vague memories of Virtua Tennis mixed with some great Texan bands ('Kill from the Heart', still one of my favourite ever albums, on repeat whilst playing the world tour mode). I also didn't explore the MSR soundtrack at all, as I played AFI's 'Very Proud of Ya' on repeat whilst playing it - I still have the album in my head when I play the game.<br /><br />I do sort of wish there was a bit more in the way of 80's hardcore on DC games - I fired up Tony Hawks 3 today and was greeted with 'Amoeba', which instantly led me to listen to the Adolescents at length. But what we got - especially Bad Brains - sort of makes up for that.<br /><br />And I second the belief that a Melt Banana composed JSR soundtrack would be an incredible thing. It would be utterly mad, but in such a great way!<br /><br />Cheers again for commenting, always glad to see others who have a shared love for the DC and Punk!Spaceturniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383741102834391718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-78459009610161004402020-05-24T15:02:38.755+00:002020-05-24T15:02:38.755+00:00Man, did I write this?!

I'm a huge punk and Dreamcast fan, and was literally listening to an old Japanese compilation called "Great Punk Hits" with my trusty Dreamcast sitting right next to me as I came across this. So, no matter what doubts you may have had, this article did indeed have an audience waiting!<br /><br />What they wrote in "Don't Blow No Bubbles" and said to poor Biscuit aside, the 'Brains were unbeatable from the late 70's to the late 80's. Never played Mat Hoffman's, so I had no idea they made an appearance on the Dreamcast. Now THAT is an incredible combination.<br /><br />I'm looking up the soundtrack now. It had PAILHEAD on it?! So Bad Brains AND Ian MacKaye made it onto the Dreamcast? Man, wonders never cease.<br /><br />I really enjoyed this article! Thanks again!<br /><br />Tangentially, if there's ever a third Jet Set Radio, I will personally hold a hunger strike outside of Sega's Tokyo offices until they contract Melt-Banana to appear on or, better yet, co-compose the soundtrack.OriginalNamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09205212278708850038noreply@blogger.com
