That making of video is amazing. The part with "actual sound (not mastered)" my jaw dropped.

Re: Discog's NES cartridge removals and forum discussion (11 replies, posted in General Discussion)
The thing that gets me here his is that NES, gameboy, etc releases are so obviously musical works. the first thing I see when I load their site is "Discover new music." The first paragraph of their About section:
"We're on a mission to build the biggest and most comprehensive music database and marketplace. Imagine a site with discographies of all labels, all artists, all cross-referenced, and an international marketplace built off of that database. It's for the love of music, and getting closer every day."
I understand that the MODs are doing what's logically best for the site, but at the same time... I don't understand that. Some of the MODs in that forum have stated that the infrastructure of the site would need changing if they would start accepting sequenced releases, and have asked for feedback on the issue, so that's hopeful for the future.
I mean... it's just another site that catalogues music, so whatever. It's just too bad that it's one of the biggest ones out there and at this moment they can't see these releases as music. But hey... they're "getting closer everyday."

Topic: Discog's NES cartridge removals and forum discussion (11 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Saw this on Bitshifter's facebook today. A bunch of people over at Discogs (yes I know) have been engaged in an interesting conversation about whether or not NES cartridges should be included in their database. Spoiler: they decided against it and removed what existed. They get into concepts like recorded music vs sequenced music, representations of previously created sound waves vs representations of instructed sound waves, etc.
Several people make good arguments for and against this decision, so I suggest you read it all before coming to conclusions. Kind of similar to what we've read many people talk about in the past, but on another forum, and affecting a different community and their infrastructure.

Awh. Buying this because your date didn't go so well.
Hopefully my money will fuel your whisky predilection. Also, hopefully not.

So is there a reason why no one actually talks in the room? Nothing to say to each other, haha?
Ovenrake's answer is super quick and easy if people don't want to dl an irc client.

Seems reasonable to me. "General Music Discussion" sounds like it's inviting me to post about how "Pink Floyd: Live At Pompeii" is the greatest concert movie ever (which of course it is). How general would the general music section be?
Hell yeah it is. Just watched this for the umpteenth time two days ago. Roger Waters beating that gong as a silhouette... it really doesn't get any better.
But yes... this is a grand idea. It will help divert people who have topics about neither of these subjects.

Re: Twistboy - Applesauce (9 replies, posted in Releases)
Pretty tight, man:)
Ya the grooves are really noticeable right from the get go. The melodies are very nice, too 
. It's hard not to smile while listening to this... that's a great thing! Looks like you've worked really hard on the stuff you have. The only advice I could have is a little song variance (like changing melodic themes a couple of times). But the ones you have are so catchy it doesn't really matter, baha.
I love Bundle of Nerves. Great drop-type-thing!
And damn Dead Season is pretty dirty, but very clean at the same time!

I'd be very surprised if anyone here took/was able to pay for serious legal action.
Just sayin'
I hope it all gets sorted, though. The artists are the ones who need to be satiated... and it can easily be done without the pitchforks.

Re: Thefts of 8bit/chiptune/fakebit musik. (177 replies, posted in General Discussion)
haha it's fun reading all of this at once.
Make a checklist to get things done if this is REALLY erking people so much. In honesty, Guy here could probably take no action and the results would still be the same.
1) Guy works to get music off peripheral sites
2) Guy and artists work together to assess monetary damage to original artists (you're only gunna get money back if you're productive here)
3) Music gone, debts off, now this scene will hate Guy forever (no matter what happens) because most people don't stand for this stuff.
