Hey dude,

I totally understand this gripe. It should be mentioned though that this website is the internet-arm of a subscriber only industry rag. Without some kind of yank back towards the "industry" the article (which already is a stretch for the publication) would have been a bit too far from cannon.

I understand that Tom.
Just makes me a bit sad that is our "yank" hmm

It was better than going for the we-cover-real-artists-and-release-compilations-of-them-for-novelty-value angle... haha.

enjoyed the read tom, one thing i wish more chip-related articles did more was to focus on the activity and trends in the global scene.

i find that most articles/interviews/videos that cover a particular chip show or act make it look like a total anomaly, like "oh look some kids thought it was terribly clever to put on this novelty of a show, it's probably just an isolated incident that will never happen again."

by making people more aware off the bat that there's a loose infrastructure of communities in place that fuels the making and sharing of chipmusic, it helps paint a better picture of the creative and social payoffs of being interested in it. 

the average joe probably still thinks chiptune musicians have nothing to benefit from their apparent tech fetish.  like they'll only ever twiddle with sound chips, isolated in their bedroom, and that's it.
