• Sounds like video games!

Oh, I do so have a weakness for video game music, especially that of the primitive 8-bit variety. It takes me back to a special place in my game-obsessed childhood...Zelda...Donkey Kong Land...Final Fantasy...Earthbound... I do so appreciate what this musical collective of 8-bit artists around the world promote. Now, you say, only nerds listen to this music, eh? But I disagree because this stuff has universal appeal. Not a soul doesn't play video games, right? And so everyone should be aware of their roots. Okay, so my argument is specious at best, but I'm tired. I'm not at my peak performance; that's come and gone, but I'm hoping it will come back. And I also hope I can host a party that warrants the booking of this collective. Now excuse me while I got find an emulator and some of the best games ever created.

I don't have a preview for you this week, sorry, but feel free to head on over to their Web site (above) for a taste.
