Today, Andy chats with Alex Lightspeed and a few of his co-conspirators Todd Daggett and The Neon Syndicate!

On today’s show, Andy hangs out with Steve from Opus Science Collective — a one-man musical powerhouse, teacher, and cool guy. They chat about the origins of his misleadingly plural band name, dive into synths, chiptune, city pop, and even get interrupted by his senile cat, Yoda. Steve and Andy nerd out over classic cartoons like The Real Ghostbusters and Transformers, the weirdness of N64 emulation, and fantasies about dream geek spaces — including Lego rooms and CRT-filtered arcades.

R.I.P. Starcadian. This is the conversation I had with Starcadian, originally recorded in May 2022. Please take this opportunity to get to know George, listen to his amazing music, and check out his music videos. Starcadian is one of the greatest talents to ever grace the synthwave scene and he will be missed.
