Just wondering if you guys are as into chiptune as I am. If so who do you like? If you don't, here's something to whet your appetite: https://soundcloud.c...dventure-lights

thanks!

Theres a pop rock band with lots of chiptunes called I Fight Dragons, I adore them but thats sort of my only source of chiptune-y goodness.

Now why do they sound familiar... I'll definitely have to look them up. Have you heard of horse the band? They lean more towards the hardcore/metal side of things but their keyboardist uses nintendo sounds and a lot of their songs are about nintendo stuff. Awesome music to play games to haha.

I love chiptune. Actually, a guy I knew would always ask me if I was ever going to listen to "real" music because I listened to it so much.

I've been really digging chiptunes lately, though it really makes people furrow their brows when I try to explain it. I've never looked into a specific artists, i just find a 2 hour block on Youtube and listen away. 


Look! I have a blog! How lame.

I also came across this a couple of weeks ago, it's super cool and definitely something I could get into doing if i ever figure out this guy's setup. Ladies and gentlemen, the creator of the soundtrack to Fez.
