17. Joe Cam is less than happy with the drama that’s already ensued over “Flying Man” (as he removes Trenthian from the project for openly criticizing Mustin’s track), coupled with the controversy of criticizing Harmony’s recent Secret of Mana OC ReMix “Dragon Song”, but “Bound Together” itself is progressing nicely even as he’s irked by people’s personal “bullshit”, so he expresses his thoughts on Mustin’s contribution [http://www.joecam.net]
18. Mustin drops into the conversation to describe his interest in the Mother arrange album where he covered “Flying Man”, some sounds he used to create the track, the OneUps’ own contribution to the project “Summers”, a quick take on the arguements about the quality of “Dragon Song” and the changing of OC ReMix’s standards in the past few years, the reasons that plans for the OneUps to perform at vgXpo and Video Games Live fell through, tentative plans for future OneUps performances and venues, potentially becoming Teatro Scarpino’s house band, looking forward to performing at Ailsean’s wedding, and his appreciation and excitement for the concept of Bound Together [http://www.oneupstudios.com]

24. Yasunori Mitsuda - “Oomuraji ~ Ocean -Highnoon Fish-” [Shadow Hearts OST]
25. OverCoat feels no mercy for being successful in getting through to the show ahead of everyone else because he’s suffering “musical depression”, but he has time to plug the Arabic/electronic hybrid group Niyaz and Children of the Monkey Machine’s “Septic Dreams”, laugh about the widespread use of presets and drumloops in professional music circles, rejoice over the return of Hellven with “debut”, shill his rs3-inspired kwakfest entry, Level Ground Gaming’s “Classix”, the Kirby Superstar OCR project “Milkyway Wishes”, the Seiken Densetsu 3 OCR project & Anime Remix’s Halloween compo, as well as ponder the evolution of Vanilla Ice, consider entering an accordian-based arrangement into Dwelling of Duels, pimp his latest original with a paragraph-long title, and encourage the community to not take the internet so seriously [http://www.neutronstar.org/soc]

48. Yoshitaka Hirota - “Als Theme ~ ALICE” [Shadow Hearts OST]
49. Rexy yells on the line and demands better treatment for Paige, mentions how “Time’s Anxiety” reflects frustrations with the video game remix community, how GrayLightning became involved in the project, and why she decided to remix “Clockwork”, declares CHz as the only man in #ocremix who knows how to treat a lady, elaborates on events during the past summer that led to her frustrations, bemoans the current imbalance of the VGMix tiering system and Larry as an evil OC ReMix judge, and discusses the potential of reworking her Dragon Warrior 2 mix “Anguished Beyond Words”, the delays with “Chrono Symphonic”, not being able to arrange live piano recordings, her Dragon Warrior remix project “Children of Erdrick”, and plans to submit for Splendid Performance: With a Voice [http://rexrock69.deviantart.com]
