Day 5: Hub Music
Grant Kirkhope - Isle o' Hags
I'll probably get charged for heresy on using this over the Teddy Bear Picnic music in Kazooie, but this one always stuck out to me for some reason. I just really really like the melody to it.

Day 6: Relaxing Music

Day 12: Music That Makes You Sad
David Wise - Life in the Mines
I dunno, this track just sounds super somber to me. I remember trying to come up with sad lyrics for it when I was younger, probably super cringeworthy if I tried to remember any.

Masanori Akita - Awakening ~Nurburgring Suite~
I assume this is the "you can listen to this for 24 hours straight" category, so I'll just put the music I had on for literally hours not long ago while I was sketching stuff.

Day 28: Music That Makes You Nostalgic
Koji Kondo - Staff Roll
Alas, despite my increasing indifference to Mario 64 every time I revisit it, there's something about this piece of music that always brings me back to more innocent times and recalling precious memories. I suppose if there's one thing that will never age it's Koji Kondo's work.
Thank you sir.

Day 30: Credits Music
Stewart Copeland - Credits
Well, it's been fun. Hate to be as predictable as the sunset with this choice, but I'd never forgive myself for leaving off this or the Mario 64 staff roll theme.
