Not too much for me to go through means that I could knock this out in a couple of hours, which is not only good for you and me, but good for America. The summer rundown gets back on track with material from June 12th through 18th.

As the poll for who the sexiest OCR judge (other than me of course) keeps heating up, we continue pimping it up with summer material to cool you off, checking out the week from June 5th to June 11th:

Let’s continue covering the summer stuffs from May 29th to June 4th, for June is the month of the junebug…

Covering the relevant releases from the month o’ May continues with the goods from the week ending May 21st. You’ve got a full plate in front of ya, so make with the clicky clickly.
And with another summer in tow, we herald the return of the VG Frequency Pimp Sections, where I spotlight the goods in community music releases for all the people out there who are interested in seeing what the VG remix community has to offer but are too lazy to click every which place. These columns always took awhile last year, but I was even able to balance my newly-acquired judgeship with this, so I think we’ll manage.
As for VG Frequency the radio show, the last 10 episodes will all be worked on once I get a hold of a WAV editing program from my backup man from the other side of the ocean, Roland “Compyfox” Löhlbach. They’ll come along slowly but surely once I get some editing stuff to work with. 3 of the back episodes are actually ready to go, but I’ll need to use a highspeed connection to host the material, so I’ll probably swing by Yale Library.
Stick around for updates on the future of the show, if in fact I’ll be doing something with it again after late August rolls around. In the meantime, send me money, plz. ($$$) Aight, let’s get into the musiczs bros. You’ve got a lot of stuff to check out for the week ending May 14th.

The column’s out on Monday this week, since I got the chance to chill with Vigilante this past weekend. After chillin’ around with my friends here in Connecticut, I headed back with him to Massachusetts on a whim, and had an awesome time in Boston and Cambridge. I got to see and help Jesse work on some Donkey Kong Country remix material, and despite being a fan of the scene for such a long time, I had never actually seen any mixer’s setup before, so that was a pretty cool experience. Of course, the trip wasn’t all about OC stuff (Béla Fleck & the Flecktones and sushi!), so we’ll both post some thoughts soon on how we didn’t get along at all WHATSOEVER for your amusement! One more week until I head back down to Atlanta, so I’ll finally have some cable network speed dammit. Now let’s pimp out what we had for the week ending August 14th:

Slow week in terms of side developments in the community, or at least any that I’m aware of. We’re only a month away from the return of VGF on the air, so hopefully we’ll get some more good stuff to fill up the very first show back. In any case, the music takes center stage, so let’s see what dropped for the week ending August 7th:

Congrats to ravon & the Ormgas.com crew for collaborating with djp to get a link to the webstream on the OCR front page (and the return of the ReMix Roulette). It’s all looking good, and we’re more than glad for the extra attention! Good work, bros.
Quite the good week for stuff, IMO, but let’s leave that up to you. I’ve looked all over in particular this week, so let’s jump right into the material for the week ending July 31st:

Last week was a nice week for me personally, but things have been rough for us as at Ormgas.com. Fellow Ormgas member Mattias “Sockan” Ström, whom we knew as SockULF, passed away on July 21st after being viciously assaulted on Saturday the 17th by a drugged up man who, seemingly at random, knocked Sockan down and attacked him by kicking him in the head repeatedly. After suffering severe brain damage and only being able to breathe with the aid of a respirator, he passed away this past Wednesday. He was only 22 years old. For his friends and family, along with others such as myself who didn’t know Sockan closely, it’s a very difficult situation made more difficult by how senseless it was. If you need more information about the attack on SockULF, it’s available at Ormgas.com. Even though most of you do not know him, you can nonetheless view the condolences given at http://sockan.ormgas.com. Ormgas went silent from this past Thursday until late Sunday as a memoriam.
The news that I was personally happy about this past week was that I was nominated among a list of candidates and subsequently chosen by the OCR Judges Panel to be the newest Judge with OverClocked ReMix! Without gushing over the news like a fanboy, I have to admit that it’s an honor to be among the people that help in large part on deciding what music is chosen for OCR. After first coming to OC in early 2002 as a guy with a casual interest in video game music, I’ve come about as far as a fan possibly can in the community. I’d like to personally thank my friends Matt Kertz & Joe Mauri, since it’s their “fault” that I found out about OCR, later listened to every OC ReMix ever made, and got serious about playing video game music on the radio. Without them, I wouldn’t have ever found a community with such talent and creativity. I’ll get into some more thoughts about judging later in the Pimp Section, but for now, let’s get into what music caught my attention for the week ending Saturday, July 24th:

I’m glad we got a nice bunch of entries for the Ormgas radio jingle contest. Myself, the other Ormgas staff, and some select others judged things up this week and the winner was Neskvartetten with a cool Legend of Zelda 2 mix. Check it out below for the info. Now let’s see if, for my own sanity, I can do some quick writeups for the week ending Saturday, July 17th:

Everytime I think I’m gonna be quick with the writeups for the week, I always find more stuff to say. The only way I could say less was if you paid me too. Let’s sort through what was going down for the week ending Saturday, July 10th:

Ormgas.com, OverClocked ReMix’s unofficial internet radio station, wants YOU for its jingle contest, now underway and set to end on July 10th. We need artists, remixers and anyone willing to have some fun with a microphone to check out the contest and submit 20-to-40-second station identification style jingles, and if you’re one of the top 3 entrants, you can clothe your body with hot OMG FREE Ormgas.com gear. As long as your entry is quality, you can potentially earn radio infamy along with other legends (like Liontamer) as one of Ormgas.com regular jingles, so be sure to check out more information at the OCR forums thread as well as the full set of contest rules over at http://oc.ormgas.com/news.php?extend.36. Antonio Pizza, SgtRama, Neskvartetten & OverCoat are already in the game with their own entries, and I encourage you reading this [Larry points at you] to consider submitting your own jingles in support of Ormgas while you get in the hunt for free, fashionable swag. Please don’t delay. July 10th’s the final deadline.
Relatively light week of stuff for the week ending Saturday, June 26th, but I was busy as hell, so this all stayed incomplete on my laptop for a few days. Ah well. Better late than never, brothers and sisters:

JigginJonT had the foresight (i.e. gall) to make sure that if I had my own forum at Ormgas.com I’d be open for plenty of the Larry-bashing that makes VG Frequency such an enjoyable experience for all. Register at Ormgas and drop by your insults at the official Larry Oji hate thread. Because I LOVE to hear what you bastards have to say. I hate you, Jon. And because I hate all of you out there so much, it’s time to once again use some of my free time this week to look around the remix community for tracks so you don’t have to. What the hell was I thinking? Let’s take a look at some of what’s good for the week ending June 12th:
