It should be a chipmusic.org feature to view other user's bookmarked songs, and have them play in a continuous stream, playlist style.

Well, that's two different features that would be nice.

i support this canny move. a year of consolidation worked wonders with my vegetables

extreme-butt what happened to the old ones? I'm still happy talking aimlessly to your various user accounts mind. pretty adept at getting lost myself

maybe i'll drop by ircs, i do like exploring on my own despite all this, but am competing with laziness

you can still lurk irc, you're not expected to speak. i feel like irc is a good place to pick up on stuff because its where people are usually talking about things they're currently listening to, a lot of the time you get a good idea of either the really good stuff, or the stuff that slips through the cracks thats unforgettable. without irc, i dont know if i would have found half the stuff i did, and just the same i dont know if i would be able to share as much stuff either.

listening to music once is ok if it's good music i suppose

yeah it's a shame, mr beep announced the release of an all-star comp in a week's time then had fatal computer death or something. I was just drifting away when that blog started up, otherwise I would've been more appreciative of the work he was doing. but it ain't all on me, baby

I suppose I'm missing what that old website had... the one with the poker ads. The weekly chart thing was crap but being able to lurk everyone's likes was handy. I suppose Soundcloud has a similar sort of thing going on? Should probably use that more.

I was asking for myself but also wondering for casual fans in general, who IRC might be a bit "involved" for. I've got accounts on dozens of websites and find I've been socialising on practically none of them these days, so tend to stick to wherever's lurker-friendly.

anamangamuni are good! I listened to them and was cool but it's wearing off. i like a bunch of different stuff (vgm to bitgrind, progtronica, chipbreak, chIDM, glitch funk and microrock, and a bit of dunce) and follow the same musicians i used to, it's just getting like I'm not finding much new blood dropping in my lap. I haven't got the energy to blindly explore like i used to you know?

someone should tell all the good musicians to make one big amazing compilation to promote themselves to me

thanks for the knowledge all

from what i can tell all the cool kids like anamannannaguchi but if you dont plan on listening to any, maybe you could just watch their videos with the sound turned down?

last i heard from him, he had some computer probs, and then he was gone. maybe real life took over with that and he decided it would be too much of a pain.

Yeah, I was kindof sad about Megabeep John. I think he might have been expecting the site to "take off"
