MSDJ

MSDJ or micro sound dee-jay is the official podcast of 8bitcollective. its presented by Lameboy and Unicorn Dream Attack, otherwise known as Logan and Stefan. this comedic duo keep the podcast going in between songs and are, for me, one of the best things about the show, along with learning about new music.
there is currently five episodes, each one around forty minutes of absolute chiptune bliss.

Gerty Farish

these guys did a tape along with Best Fwends which came out recently
i really really like them.
they have some super cool songs like "here comes hairy claws" which i have listened to about fourty times in the past 2 days
also, they are quite a bit like best fwends so dont listen to them if you're obsessed with sound quality.


Myspace

Pull Tiger Tail

again with the tiger bands!
ive been into these guys for about 6 months now and was thinking its about time i did a post on them
im recently finding it really hard to think of words to describe a lot of the bands i post about on here, so ill stick with the two i use the most; amazing and awesome.
and PTT are most definately that! the first song i ever heard was the demo of Animator which is on their myspace and after that it was all i listened to for the next week. the simple, catchy chorus will stick in your head and keep you up all night thinking about it.
aside from the well written, catchy and well played tunes these three guys are pumping out, the main attraction to these guys for me is the feeling i get while listening to them. its the kind of feeling you get when you watch one of those little "heart-wrenching" documentary segments about african children in the middle of comic relief, you almost feel guilty for enjoying yourself while you listen to the song.

definately a band to check out.

and you can find their myspace

websites.

i recently got an account on last.fm.
i have no idea why its so popular... so far i have found it to be slow, confusing and generally it looks better than it actually works.

on the other hand i also got an account on
8bitcollective, an amazing website where practically all chiptune artists upload their music. you can find some really awesome tracks if you look through the pages and pages of uploads.
