Deathcakes Podcast - Nojibbajabbafm.com

Deathcakes returns from a brief hiatus to take you through the personal musical journeys of both hosts. Jay & illy discuss their early experiences with music in general and 80’s pop culture, then go into their discovery and love of hip-hop and favorite artists of the 80’s and 90’s eras. They also reminisce about Yo! MTV Raps, Columbia House Music Club, and Majic 108 (shout out to Kevy Kev!) Outro Music: Coolio - “I Remember” feat. Billy Boy & J-Ro

After the dust has settled and opinions and info have sunk in, Jay & illy discuss the 2013 E3 conference, aka the “Nerd Super Monkey Ball” [we call it something else… we also don’t want to be sued by the NFL!]. Why 3.75? Cause it’s extra long for a mini [making it our first Maxi-minisode] and includes the show’s first special guest. Marque, Jay’s big brother, joins the crew to talk the PS4 and XBox One (Eighty). Intro music: “For the Gamers” by Random aka Mega Ran -- megaranmusic.com / Outro music: “Gamer” by Sadat X

A film that partly inspired this podcast’s inception leads you to an episode that nearly caused its demise (illy could barely get through the movie; Jay almost quit the show… twice!) By picking apart one of the first black superhero flicks, The Meteor Man, Deathcakes takes the bullet (or perhaps, falls on the sword) so that every other retro entertainment/bad movie podcast out there won’t have to! Intro Music: “Hero Muzik” by Random AKA Mega Ran feat. Ilyas -- megaranmusic.com

Unable to resist the urge to continue the cartoon theme music convo, illy tables his original plan and instead, goes back to share HIS list of personal favorites in Episode 1.5.5 (okay… “2.5”) Music: “Happy Days” by PackFM (instrumental prod. by Tonedeff) -- QN5.com

Jay & illy return to discuss their early gaming experiences, from arcades and Atari to SNES and Sega Genesis. They also make time along the way to talk about schoolyard brawls (“Sweep the leg, illy-san!”), Robo-Michael Jackson (yes, MJ memorabilia finds its way onto the show again), and one child’s dreams crushed by the Powerglove.  Outro Music: “Epoch” by Random aka Mega Ran -- megaranmusic.com

The first minisode. Expanding on the theme song discussion, Jay drops in with a playlist of his top 5 (actually 9) favorite cartoon intros. [Also the background music was a little higher than it should have been so I may be hard to understand a couple times. Sorry, at 1am it sounded fine. -Jay] Music: “Grow Up” by Random aka Mega Ran -- megaranmusic.com

Jay and illy drop straight into a conversation of their earliest childhood memories - no particular topic, just freestyling it (flowcharts are available by request!) What is the Great Heap? Who’s the toughest man in the world? Learn all that, and more in the pilot episode of Deathcakes. And Doctor John’s?… totally a chain of sex shops in Missouri. Intro music - “Big Kid Remix” by Doug Funnie -- dougfunnie.bandcamp.com
