Additional Spam:
I guess this is more or less acoustic:

• Album: Rayman Origins Original Soundtrack

• Disc #: 1 (of 1)
• Track #: 4
• Track Title: Shooter - Kazoo
• Catalogue Number: 300043457
• Year: 2011
• orion: You're fired from the BSC for somehow devoting two slots to Rayman Origins and not making either of them this.

Boring nom for boring people:

• Album: Drill Dozer (Game Rip)
• Artist: Go Ichinose, Satoshi Nohara
• Track #: 37
• Track Title: Skullker Drill Missile (Area 6)
• Year: 2006
• Additional Info: 10 points if you guessed this one!
• Speculation: This is 10000% Ichinose.
• Source: Drill Dozer (2005) Game Boy Advance credits - MobyGames

There's nowhere I can't reach.

He doesn't want to waste his votes now when there's potential kazoo voting occurring in the future. It's a balancing act to maintain his hatred for us while still occasionally dropping in to vote for silly shit.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

And that's eight acoustic nominations!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

2 points: SPACE INVADERS EXTREME -AUDIO CLUSTER- - Executor (Stage5B)
2 points: Total Annihilation (Red Book Audio) - Forest Green
1 point: Runark / Gun Frontier - Dear Partner
1 point: VIRTUA FIGHTER5 ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK - PARK (SARAH VF5R Ver.)
super close: Stage 2
slightly less close but still p. dang close: The Shell, West Tumbara (Light)
Muzza sucks, but this doesn't: Ending Music to a Dying Town

Executor was TECHNICALLY not written by Zuntata, as for some reason Yasuyuki Suzuki wrote two tracks for Space Invaders Extreme, but dude is a legendary talent and deserves the extremely high praise of being compared to them. Man that rhythmic SFX section <3333

Forest Green is cheating, Draconis.

I didn't really like the meat of Stage 2 for some reason, but that weird intro and those runs right before the loop were gold.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Voting is closed and nominations are still open for week 267 I guess because theme week ahoy!

1). [12] Runark / Gun Frontier - Dear Partner
2). [11] Alexander Brandon - The Shell
3). [10] Total Annihilation (Red Book Audio) - Forest Green
4). [8/6] SPACE INVADERS EXTREME -AUDIO CLUSTER- - Executor (Stage5B)

Yack time

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
