When I'm the middle of a white-hot, bad-ass game of Super Mario 1, I like to listen to The Flaming Lips 'Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.'

I was curious as to whether any other tribe-members had a musical preference while playing this game (or just beating it over and over again)...surely no one can play this game and listen to Meatloaf?

Or maybe that's a good idea...

  • I like to listen to Happy Hardcore / Techno stuff, Speed Metal, or just that groovy Super Mario music!
    • I rarely bump anything other than the sweet sweet Mario music while playing. But most Flaming Lips albums seem appropriate. Also, the entire Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy, by Eno, which is uncannily like a Mario game. There's bosses in practically every song and it documents an epic journey/adventure.

      That said, here's a mix I came up with, with Mario & Co. in mind.

      1) Aztec Camera- Oblivious
      2) OMD- Enola Gay
      3) David Holmes- Rodney Yates
      4) Takako Minekawa- 1.666666
      5) Pulp- Babies
      6) Wolfgang Press- Birmingham
      7) France Gall- Laisse Tomber Le Filles
      8) Barry Adamson- Diamonds *
      9) The Zombies- She Does Everything For Me
      10) The Stranglers- Love 30 **
      11) Naked Eyes- Promises, Promises
      12) Blow Monkeys- Digging Your Scene
      13) Jorge Ben- Umbabrumba
      14) Talk Talk- Life's What You Make It ***
      15) The Clash- Magnificent Dance
      16) The Buckaroos- Buckaroo

      * Especially for a Haunted Castle level.
      ** Especially for Mario Tennis.
      *** Especially for a "fall and die" level.
