Are there any good chiptune music blogs that you read?
I find ChipFlip to be very interesting and well written. It's not strictly about chip music, but it's always a good read.

I also have a small blog, but that's mainly for my own music, some opinionated rants, and klystrack tutorials. It's been a bit inactive lately since I am a bit busy preparing a long-ass bike trip and finishing up my album which is due in the second half of next month. But I'll get back to it when I have more time.

it would be delightful if nice looking chipmusic fans made video blogs too. talking about their views, hopes and pet peeves of all things chip. They might even respond to their youtube comments. Maybe they don't have to be nice looking, just thick skinned.
As far as I've seen.. every attempt at a chiptune vlog / show / movie / trilogy / saga / live action role playing game / epic space conquest with monkeys has died fairly quickly. I think most people don't realize the amount of effort and time needed to produce a decent looking, well researched show and keep the new episodes pumping out of a regular schedule. It's a ton of work really.
We're all busy trying to get on Jimmy Fallon right now.
With the rise of people self releasing stuff rather than using netlabels these days, I've been trying to group similar chipmusic releases at http://www.kittenrock.co.uk/ with a small review. Anything that falls under noisey, fonky, acid, techno, braindance, electro really.
None of that popular chipmusic stuff basically.
Updates have been slow as we're in the process of making a new site at the moment.

HAhaha. Yeah fuck those million dollar bands that tour the world and do cocaine off the tits of young Japanese sex slaves. Chiptune is too mainstream man. Something about a foot on a coffin.

well when i say popular i mean artists who get over 5 likes on facebook updates and release threads that get on to a second page.
Well then you should totally review me! Nobody listens to my shit and I never get a like on any facebook post.
Of course that might also mostly be due to the fact I'm a jerk to most people most of the time. But hey.. that's fucking rock and roll man.
I have a meager Tumblr page for my musical shenanigans. :I

My blog has slowed way down, but it's still alive, as Jellica pointed out. chiptuneblog.blogspot.com
