This edition of SMD saw the Newsdrive segment returning after a month's absence, a debate on what to expect from a remix... and THAT ONE NEW TRACK that hit our host in the feels. Yes, even a regular show would result in an element of surprise!
With one day before Valentine's Day, SMD set the mood to counter an equally-bitter-feeling Friday the 13th with lots of warm, romantic and occasionally cute remixes to take people through the night. Oh, and there's some hot news about Bayonetta too...!
Out of the chaos of preparing for the London Anime Con that weekend, Rexy was on hand to offer 2 hours of Sega arrange tunes that stemmed convention hype, a source guessing game of sorts and... rolling on Summer? Isn't it too soon for that yet?
Are you sitting comfortably? Then let's begin... assuming there's not a little kid in sight, that is. This extra edition of SMD featured tracks that wouldn't get played during the main show for one reason alone - adult-centric content. Lock the doors now!
100 episodes, but a lifetime of memories - this week's show focused on some of the most defining moments of the series, music that marked its strongest points... and a karaoke version of a certain Sonic Paradox fan favorite... in any case, let's party!
As MAGFest weekend happened, Rexy remained on hand to look after those staying behind. In addition to a fun music selection, this show also introduced the 'ChartStoppers' RS Top 40 tie-in segment - 3 of the many arrange tunes that hit this week's chart!

Another year gone - the Season 2 Finale, true to its name, looked back at many talkbed highlights and events throughout the year, as well as an ensemble of memorable new releases - some of these even picked by the audience! But where has the year gone?!
A listening party close to the end of the Season. Familiar? In this week's SMD, the audience heard the entirety of the Sound of the Sonic Stadium '14 there FIRST! And with DJ EAR in the co-host spot this week, it could only mean insanity... and turducken.
The last Free-For-All of the season saw pre-release hype for the Sound of the Sonic Stadium '14, some teasing with the Source Roulette and the outputs of the latest Punchfest competition. Most importantly, Rexy defied the oral surgeons and hosted it LIVE!

Month's end means world's end again - stepping up towards this week's VS Week, it's a collision between the Believers and the City Folk in some bizarre collision between optimism and realism. Could this be our most deep-thinking VS edition yet?
What's this, me hearties? A free-for-all on Talk Like a Pirate Day? Sounds like a big fish story to me - sure we had hidden treasures and delicious hornpipes from all corners of the seven seas, but there be more tales on the high seas than that! Yaaaargh!

August may have not been as eye-catching so far, but with a new theme announcement for the following week as well as a huge trip down memory lane for our host, this so-called regular show may have been anything BUT regular... right?
Gaming con fever is getting into swing across the world, and a fair chunk of tonight's SMD showed it! Another fair chunk, on the other hand, took Rexy through a Source Roulette game that she had no knowledge of whatsoever. Even the pros have to wing it!
