El Scorcho in 8 bits

I'm currently rocking out to Weezer. Ish. Please enjoy:

... There should be something Flashy here, but there was a problem loading it :(

That's Tugboat covering El Scorcho. And there's plenty more where this came from.

The songs on this compilation have mostly been created using original videogame hardware running home-brew software, and vary radically in style, from minimal 'one man and his Game Boy' compositions to 8-bit inspired full band performances.

Do yourself a favor...

Go download this song: The Great Defector by Bell X1.

It's FREE!

A song like The Great Defector tries to capture that transience and constant newness of everything when you’ve not slept for two days. [via]

I love it.

Let's go to the Anamanaguchi show

Tonight. At Europa.

If you absolutely can't make it, you should at least listen to some crazy happy squarewaves:

Also:

Bonus: check out the website for their new album, Dawn Metropolis.

Get their last album, including these two songs, from 8bitpeoples. The songs above are Power Supply and Fast Turtle, respectively.

One song by the Two Gallants

This is one of those "open in a background tab and let it play" songs. Steady Rollin' by the Two Gallants:

Nitrogen Pink and other songs that make me happy

You need to listen to Nitrogen Pink by Polly Scattergood:

... There should be something Flashy here, but there was a problem loading it :(

Because you only have so many Wednesdays in your life.

You can collect the whole set at LSTN #3 by Urban Outfitters. And who doesn't like free music?

When you're in the mood for a cynical love song...

It's hard to go wrong with the Magnetic Fields. I think my favorite part is the bridge. It's so… promising.

how much is music industry reform worth to you?

Trent Reznor paid $5080.00 for Radiohead's In Rainbows:

I bought the physical one, so I spent a whopping $80. [Pauses] But, then I re-bought it and paid $5,000, because I really felt that I need to support the arts, so people could follow in my footsteps.
