Really fantastic set of performances. (Note: now that Youtube doesn't show playlists in embeds anymore, I'm experimenting with embedding every video from the album separately in posts.) ## [(untitled)](https://www.joelhamill.com/2026/08/17/universal-health-coverage-could-save.html) _2026-08-18 · No Idea_ Universal Health Coverage Could Save $1 Trillion and 114,000 Lives Every Year, Yale Study Projects Too bad saving 0.03% of our population annually won't matter to our politicians. via kottke.org ## [(untitled)](https://www.joelhamill.com/2026/08/17/i-really-want-to-mess.html) _2026-08-18 · No Idea_ I really want to mess around with SteamOS on my old PC hardware.

Relaxing vibes, a gentle sound, which makes for a very pleasant start to the morning. This was originally released as a self-published CD, which is quite scarce now, but thankfully yan has put it up for free on his Youtube channel. ## [(untitled)](https://www.joelhamill.com/2026/08/13/word-of-the-day-frumple.html) _2026-08-14 · No Idea_ Word of the day: frumple ## [Hardfloor - Data Mining Volume Four](https://morningmusic.bearblog.dev/hardfloor-data-mining-volume-four/) _2026-08-11 · morningmusic · Morning Music_ This is part of Hardfloor's collection of rarities that had never been released on their own. I was turned onto it when a friend was talking up a soundtrack that happened to have licensed this third track, and while I've never actually played the game it is a great track.

This one's a collaboration with a Greek traditional music trio, blending in both instruments and a lot of musical styles of traditional Greek music. Particularly liking The Golden Jackals of Samos and the piano line on Liberta. Impressions of Samos by Greg Foat & Sokratis Votskos with The Giorgos Pappas Trio ## [Lee Ritenour - "RIT"](https://morningmusic.bearblog.dev/lee-ritenour-rit/) _2026-08-04 · morningmusic · Morning Music_ I've played the second volume here before, but I actually haven't owned the first until now. I stumbled across this in a very cute bookstore in Squamish this weekend; nice to have the chance to hear the companion volume. Like the other one, this is very much in the 80s pop/rock vein of fusion jazz, and it's a very fun listen. (Youtube note: as before, Youtube doesn't indicate it anymore, but this… ## [(untitled)](https://www.joelhamill.com/2026/08/01/relaxing-saturday-afternoon-watching-the.html) _2026-08-01 · No Idea_ Relaxing Saturday afternoon watching the Brooks Falls webcam ## [Every Channel.

This is the last of the three CDs that came with Ketsui, and it's a bit more of a straightforward arranged version of the original album . I'm not quite as fond of this as the original; its greater focus on the rock elements means it's missing a bit of the melancholy sound of the original. I do quite like that… ## [(untitled)](https://www.joelhamill.com/2026/07/31/this-isnt-happiness-wonderful-work.html) _2026-08-01 · No Idea_ this isn’t happiness.

This one is from the early 2010s, so he's drawing much more from EDM than he had in his earlier soundtracks and the sound definitely works here. As a sort of farewell to Dodonpachi this is also drawing from and remixing elements of the past soundtracks, which makes for a nice opportunity to be… ## [A Tale of Two Road Trips](https://www.joelhamill.com/2026/07/27/a-tale-of-two-road.html) _2026-07-28 · No Idea_ Just for fun.

This one's got a bit more diversity in styles than the last volume - Okano Freak's track is much more straightforwardly bright 80s pop, and I especially enjoy the tone of MASA's instrumental track Sporophyte. Unfortunately the full album isn't available online anywhere, but I was able to find some of… ## [(untitled)](https://www.joelhamill.com/2026/07/26/advice-worth-trying-to-take.html) _2026-07-26 · No Idea_ Advice worth trying to take to heart from coach Bob Knight The key is not the will to win.

This soundtrack was composed by Hermann Weindorf, one of the two members of Panarama, and it's a mix of songs by the band itself and other 80s pop in a very similar vein. I've never seen the movie, but if you asked me what an 80s ski movie soundtrack should sound like it would absolutely be something like this.… ## [I Don't Sleep Well While Traveling — This Is What Finally Helped](https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/i-used-to-sleep-terribly-when-i-traveled-then-i-started-packing-this) _2026-07-20 · mindbodygreen Travel RSS Feed_ It's a carry-on essential ## [(untitled)](https://www.joelhamill.com/2026/07/19/zoe-looking-towards-the-backyard.html) _2026-07-19 · No Idea_ Zoe looking towards the backyard. ## [Panarama - Can This Be Paradise](https://morningmusic.bearblog.dev/panarama-can-this-be-paradise/) _2026-07-19 · morningmusic · Morning Music_ This is some very classically 80s pop; I have a soft spot for this sound, corny as it can be. I don't think Panarama ever made it big in the English-speaking world, but I was turned onto them via the soundtrack to the 80s movie Fire and Ice that featured a lot of their music.
