Bit Shifter wrote:I don't think covers are the intrinsic problem. If I'm in a rock band and we decide to cover a song we like by an artist we like, out of a genuine appreciation for the song and an interest in "trying it on," we'll do it for those reasons. And, if we have any talent / ability and we're lucky, maybe we'll even succeed at creating a unique reinterpretation that respects the original without being a straight clone of it. Swap out the guitars & drums (or whatever) for chipmusic gear and I don't see anything changing that equation.
p.s. on second thought... do people have different expectations from electronic covers than they do from acoustic ones? Would Pitchfork feature a rock cover of a rock song that just sounds like the original? would they feature a chip cover of a rock song that tries to inject its own style or imagination into the original? would we call that a remix and not a cover?
Stenobot wrote:@Bit Shifter: Word. There are some great chiptune covers out there. The bad ones are the ones that feel like they're just being "8-bit" for the sake of being 8-bit, and not injecting some originality and creativity into it. It's the equivelant approach of your standard dive bar cover band.
but to be fair, the vast majority of covers on Youtube are just that: 8-bit for the sake of being 8-bit. Then again, it's Youtube.
The problem is not these covers. It's that Pitchfork featured them.
egr wrote:What's the typical % for tipping a cab driver?
those newer cabs with the credit card swiping screen in the backseat have pre-defined tipping amounts that usually start at 20%. If for any reason you want to tip less than that, you have to make sure to tap "other amount" or whatever the option is. But 20% is fair if the driver didn't get you killed.

I guess it uses Flash for the sound? I'm working on HTML5 games at work and we've been talking about doing sound on mobile but it's hard. I was excited when I saw this but apparently it does not work on phones 
if anyone is around the financial district (lower manhattan) we could totally meet up for lunch.
or dinner by the venue. who wants to meet up for dinner?

kitsch wrote:no clue. KB has its own table. which we're responsible for manning.
we had to pre-arrange all this, space is limited as are tables. i'm not involved at all in planning, but to answer your three questions my best: dunno, it seems to be entirely by prior arrangement, and i would say yes. unless you can coax someone else into staying at your table for you. or unless there is a community table, which seems doubtful because thats a logistical mess. for me it would be at least.
i can't speak for the artists who are playing and their merch, or if there is some sort of collective merch table for random stuff brought in unexpectedly. i've taken on a couple things myself for people, but am full and out of table space now.
ok, good to know!
