Long, long ago, when I was but a naive kid whining about profanity on the internet (a Saga of Cringe so notorious, legend speaks in hushed tones of a concentrated effort to silence the silly child for good)... some of you may remember I also ran a blog. It was called The Chiptune Blog (truly, a brilliant name).

Thinking of starting it up again, posting about stuff I find on bandcamp, etc.

Is there any interest left for this sort of thing? And if so, what kind of posts / discussions would you like to see? (aside from me LARPing as my past self, and crying over profanity again)

Oh man that sounds like a good show

Just PMed xyce's page, it does quite seem like his style of music, I hope I'll get an answer

xyce is two people (xylo & cerror), so you might want to look into xylo and cerror music as well. There are also some other musicians in that style like Malmen, Joule, Wiklund & Radix. Jakim, Zalza & Michu also do stuff in that style sometimes although perhaps less often. Really, all of these artists do other styles, too, and do a lot of music in general, so it might take some digging.

To be honest, it sounds more like a Radix song to me, but they all work with a lot of the same sort of timbres and song structures.

It's definitely not Radix, but it sounds like Malmen. Not sure which tune though.

Blatantly false

How so?

Ke$ha and Crystal Castles brought the sound to mainstream attention for a while
