I've been trying a new technique with Suno:

1. Pick a song, play around ~60 of it, then cut it short abruptly, add silence.
2. Upload the edited track
3. Extend the song from the silence, but change the genre, instruments, etc.

Now it's a brand-new track that has some flair of the original song as inspiration sprinkled around a little. This one turned out quite well I think.

Big Bounty County (AI Song Based off of Treasure Trove Cove from Banjo-Kazooie)

Hyle and Jeff "Listup" their top 10 Donkey Kong Universe games! Which elite titles from the past 30 years made their lists? Why did some controversial picks make the cut, while some widely beloved entries fail to reach the tiptop of the Tiptup? Hopefully, neither of the hosts is too Tanktup to make their case!

Our Top 5 Nintendo 64 Titles

Leave it to the Kongversation to spend three hours talking about the beaver. The Gnawty, that is. The very first enemy seen in the Donkey Kong Country series. A hapless rodent for all seasons in Banjo-Kazooie! And a right bother in Donkey Kong 64. Are Gnawties iconic, or are they just a dam joke?
