The good Chiptunes

Seconded. DJ Scotch Egg/Bonnet is fuckin killer music-er in general.

Also sensational

Only dudes I cared about for the last 5 years:

Wait, NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN can speak perfect English, what?

I had no idea

Hey, so, a few weeks ago in the Axe thread about describing music you wanted to exist but werenā€™t sure if it did, I said I was looking for overly sincere super emotive pop music using chiptunes, and someone gave me three really great recommendations. I failed to save them and then the thread diedā€¦ This is pretty embarrassing, but can anyone hook me up with those reccs again? They were really good.

i think itā€™d be worth digging a few music threads out of the axe bin and putting them in tune of the fatman, actually

@Father.Torque, @CourierRice, @Felix can probably do it?

iā€™d want that one and the one that has a long tangent about modern jazz

I think I remember recommending http://wearecrying.bandcamp.com/

and http://brightprimate.bandcamp.com/album/night-animals

and http://thejarthurkeenesband.bandcamp.com/album/computer-savvy

not sure if those were the ones you were looking for but I definitely remember posting them somewhere!

humblebrag time: I was actually invited as a backup to play at square sounds melbourne! I didnā€™t because it was like directly in the middle of my internship and I couldnā€™t really justify taking 2 weeks from a 12 week internship :frowning:

Edit:

Strange. 505ā€™s site, Bandcamp page, Twitter account, and Facebook account all seem to have disappeared. The song I had linked was a very good one, though. Iā€™d fix the link if I could find another source.

This is also a good song:

I recently listened to Tugboatā€™s album again and was reminded how good it is. (Free download here.)

Also, 4mat released a new album today.

I was just listening to a new game soundtrack by Derris-Kharlan, and I went to the Steam page to see what the game itself looked like.

I quickly concluded that itā€™s not one that I am likely to ever play, but this caught my eye:

(I mean the Select Button part, not how ā€œbegs the questionā€ is used, though I also couldnā€™t help noticing that.)

I was just listening to 505 again and wondering again why the artist disappeared from the Internet. I guess Iā€™m not the only one wondering. I donā€™t have a Reddit account so I canā€™t comment on that page but I donā€™t know anything anyway.

https://www.reddit.com/r/chiptunes/comments/997r58/what_happened_to_505_and_his_album_interlude/

But hereā€™s the song I originally posted, uploaded in the meantime by someone else.

And hereā€™s a song that just came up in my playlist that reminded me that I like 505ā€™s work.
