EP-07 Bad Dudes - JINGLE ALL THE WAY

[Mustin]

Please post your thoughts on the album here.

[pappy]

It's on my MP3 player. It will be the first thing I bring up when I get hop on the ol' aeroplane Friday...6 a.m.
This better be good 6 a.m. music!

[Dhsu]

<3 mellogear's track.

[joe_cam]

You know, goddammit, I had brief thoughts written for EVERY fucking track, and my new mouse has a "back" button on the side of it, I bumped it and I lost everything.
Fuck you, new mouse.

Danimal is the best, mellogear is still amazing no matter how generic his new remixer name is (change it back!), Diggi is my girlfriend, Dale needs to stick around a bit, and we ALL just fucking died.

Fucking mouse.

[Mazedude]

I like posu's idea of putting YouTube links to the jingles, for reference. Until he did that I had never heard that Darius Twin theme.

Here are mine:

Ghosts n' Goblins - Map Screen jingle happens at 0:13 - 0:16, again at 3:28 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLTQRJXzwP0

Castlevania - Death jingle... oddly enough I can't find a clip with this in it, since all vids out there are speed runs that are specifically NO DEATH. Argh. Well, just open up CV1-3 and jump off a cliff, you'll hear it.

But yeah, I'd really like to thank all the dudes for participating, the end results have been a lot of fun to see come together. Glad so many people were down with the concept, and particularly happy that in this case a lot of the Bad Dudes specifically picked songs that were nostalgic to them. There were no stylistic limitations, no game or genre restrictions, just that it had to be from a jingle instead of a longer game track. Ailsean pointed out with his that it was specifically a special track from his youth, I personally have wanted to do a Ghosts n' Goblins track for years, zyko went back to Adventure Island II again, and so on. I like that. :)

Also, many thanks for all the last-minute additions! There were a lot of surprises in my e-mail that last week, that really boosted the project up a bit, and I appreciate it.

Also for anyone who is interested in outside feedback, here are some links for your reading pleasure, although I still say we keep all EP reviews here in this thread.

In case she doesn't get around to it anytime soon, quarky freakin' loves it all. She put it on repeat for about 3 hours.
Also, I enjoyed it as well.

[quarky]

Waiting til he got on the plane? Yeah, NO. I do friggin love it. I danced around a bit too! I recognized the Chrono ones, and Diggi Dis's Megaman 2 Password Theme immediately.

Bad Dude's Rock! ^_^;;

[Red Kinikacha]

*eye twitches* Album....art...missing....

[sergio]

Wait, what happened to po's post?

[Dhsu]

Here's the source for mine (first 8 seconds):

[Mazedude]

Oddly enough it looks like the YouTube video po referenced has been removed. Strange.

And here's the artwork again for ya, since you asked.

Designed by yours truly.

[Mustin]

Really? You recognized mine immediately? I thought I had done a little better than that.

[po]

Wait, what happened to po's post?

huh? i posted in a different thread

but here is the original music again. i can't find a video that has the entire music, but this has about the first 5 secs (its about 7 secs total). it's the stage select music at the very beginning of this vid

[Dhsu]

Haha, I don't recognize your track even after hearing the source.

[po]

WUT

actually these youtube clips are too short. you gotta listen to the SPC or play the game and let the music loop to really hear it

anyways, the synthy brassy sections at 1:34 and 3:05 follow the "melody" fairly close, at least it should be easily recognizable

/WUT

[Boco]

Download get! I'll be sure to check this out ASAP. The idea of remixing jingles is both different and intriguing. Really looking forward to it.

Also sent a donation to help you guys keep up the great work. :D

Kickass. I don't have to look at that ugly "Missing Album Art" Picture in my Media Players.

That's some awesome art too. I'm appreciating the Grungy Mesh into the background and the light Gradient Overlay/Underlay.

[sergio]

huh? i posted in a different thread

Oh right... foolish me.

Out of interest, what is the jingle on the cover art? I can't read sheet music. :(

[Ybrik Metaknight]

So...I'm trying to donate for this now that my bank account is in better shape thanks to a paycheck. But it keeps asking me to select a shipping option. I'm donating, not buying something, as far as I'm aware. I don't want to pay shipping if there's nothing to be shipped. Is there something going on here or am I just an idiot? I mean, wtf mate?

[Mustin]

Yeah, I noticed that yesterday. Asked Mazedude to get on it. He's a busy guy, though.

[Mazedude]

It asks for shipping on the DONATION? Very odd, I'll try to look at it today if I get a free moment.

[Mazedude]

Refresh your browser and try the donate button again, it should be working better now: http://baddudesmusic.com

[OUSgroupie]

'they guy' is too good, too good for his own well-being

[DragonNyght]

As always love the music, but 128 kbps makes me sad. :(

Does donate = higher quality?

[Mustin]

Wait, what? Are they really 128 kbps?

BAD DUDES, did we not outlaw this? NO LESS THAN 192 FROM NOW ON PLEASE

[joe_cam]

Wow... They ARE all 128.
Come on, even You Just Fucking Died was 160 on SPLUNK!

[Mazedude]

I blame my MP3 software. Bad! Bad MP3 software! *smacks it*

We'll fix it.

[joe_cam]

It should be almost ready. If Mustin is happy with my retagging it should be Ret2Go pretty soon, methinks.

Don't forget to embed the album art. :)

[Mustin]

It's there. Re-download.

[joe_cam]

I didn't have any album art to embed and I'm not sure what Mustin wanted to do (Apparently my original files didn't have album art to begin with) so that was up to him.
It took everything in me to not include "Joe Cam is your GOD" in the comments section.

[DragonNyght]

It took everything in me to not include "Joe Cam is your GOD" in the comments section.

I will do this anyway. :)

Thanks guys!
