Y2KNostalgiK

Welcome to Y2KNostalgiK the internet’s one stop web show for anything Nostalgic from the 90's, 2000's, and today!

Todays Guest - One of the worlds most legendary Video game composers Grant Kirkhope! If you grew up playing games during the era of the Nintendo 64 then chances are you have heard many soundtracks composed by Grant Kirkhope. Donkey Kong 64, Banjo-Kazooie, 007 Golden Eye and many others were all amazing titles where Grant was the man behind designing and developing the soundtracks. Through the world of sound Grant helped bring these amazing games to life by creating unique soundtracks that really give each world, character, game, and item the personality and character that we remember.

During the interview with Grant we talk about the history and story behind the iconic Donkey Kong Rap that dropped some mad bars at the start of the game. We then talk to Grant about some of his experiences as a composer on some of Rare's largest titles from the Nintendo 64 era as well as some of his most recent projects like composing Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle for Nintendo Switch. We end the interview of by learning about how Grant became a composer and his journey to where he is now and end off with some Name That Soundtrack Trivia where we put Grant to the test on naming some of the soundtracks he has created from past games!

If you watched any tv during the 90's & 2000's in North America there is a good chance that you have seen the legendary House Hippo commercial that brought the idea to life that there were indeed hippos who lived in peoples homes. It was a PSA ad in order to teach people not to believe everything they saw on tv but for many children like myself this was a commercial full of imagination and the idea that pet hippos could indeed be true! During the interview with Tim we learn more about the origins of this iconic house hippo commercial, some of the tricks used to create its visuals, a little bit about Tim's career as a whole, and we end it off with some House Hippo trivia!
