I know there are dozens of "VGM blogs" out there, but I've had a pretty hard time finding a notable quantity that aren't almost totally Nobuo/otherwise-more-modern-RPG & console-centric. I have a strong passion for VGM made for a variety of consoles between the mid 80s and early 90s and I've decided to launch Akihabara Sound Machine in an effort to curate and catalog a single song per day, indefinitely, [primarily] from that era. Bucky's incredible Explod tumblr blog is my biggest source of inspiration, but I'm hoping that keeping things to one song per day (rather than whole soundtracks) + not relying on self-made, hardware-sourced audio recordings (as badass and appreciated as that was) will keep me from getting burned out. Please check it out!http://akihabarasoundmachine.tumblr.com
