We’re back for another chatty summary of video game music news from the last couple of weeks. Tom returns from an Undertale concert – an experience he describes as one of the best vgm concerts he’s ever attended – but with so many new productions popping up, is there a risk of the video game concert space becoming saturated? We chat through this, share our music highlights from the video game summer showcases and smash through a mountain of news! 

Enjoy! 

Via Eurogamer, Ed Nightingale speaks to Grant Kirkhope about the Donkey Kong Rap appearing in the upcoming Donkey Kong game and Grant’s lack of credits - he calls it "the worst rap track in the history of rap tracks"

Via GameInformer, US dates have been announced for PlayStation in Concert 

Via Aftermath, SiIvaGunner Is An Elaborate Game Music Joke Collective And One Of The Best Parts Of YouTube — Makes Tom feel very very old
