you know, you see him in all the movies, and then you find out hes into classic gray.
Yeah, you'd think a guy like that could afford a blue or even a white game boy. He's just thrown $1 million at tigers.

dude totally! i saw them a few times, once on tour with paul baribeau at my friends house. they rule, i'm super fucking excited they're on the bill!
I own one of the vinyl test presses of their first album. They were stoked to see it. Oh, and Matt was pretty interested in chip when I was talking to him because he is a big video games guy.
Thanks. The listings for international users seem to be a lot less exhaustive, but when I did a search by e-mail it came up with a load of information about me.
1/7 - Philadelphia, PA - The Ox w/ Slingshot Dakota and Good Luck

Yea, unfortunately, I don't have control over the credits in the ID3 tags on Bandcamp.
I did the best I could and listed Derris-Kharlan as a co-credit on the bandcamp page, and wherever else the album is (Pause).
I always do the same thing (like with NEUTRALITE). I would never purposefully not credit someone who I collaborated on something with.
The only real workaround at the moment would be to add the (ft. Spamtron) to the song titles.
EDIT: or, if you go to the NEUTRALITE release, click edit, and scroll down, you should see a bit under where you name the price for your release that you can change the artist name for individual releases. The box says:
artist: leave blank to use band name
so you could still change NEUTRALITE to a Disastertron release.
I had no idea this was the case and it kind of goes to prove my point. NEUTRALITE is one of my favourite albums and I had no idea that I should have been throwing some praise Spamtron's way. It is not at all obvious that he had worked on it.
You do know that it says DISASTERTRON on the artwork though, right?
...and on his website discography section in the track listing it says:
07 Treasury of the Children
co-written by Spamtron.
08 Gobber Groove
co-written by Spamtron.
Cheers Holy Konni!
I just had the most amazing news. It turns out that music from this EP has been used in a viral video on YouTube. The video has had over 176,000 plays in the last 3 days! As a result, my EP listens and downloads on the Free Music Archive have spiked to nearly 1500 listens, and 300 EP downloads.
Skins isn't a new show, it's a fucking horrible UK show about "teenagers" (or how the MEDIA sees 'da youffff') that wear Babycakes merchandise, sleep around and generally act like preening, self-congratulatory tossers.
You can still make good myspaces you know...

Mine is much more compact than that. I got rid of the MySpace player in favour of Bandcamp players.
I think there is nothing to lose in keeping a myspace page with a player because lots of people still do search google for "bandname" "myspace" in order to hear a few tracks by someone, but for communication with fans, it's been dead for at very least a year.
I'd say, keep the myspace, but you really are better off with a proper website like the one you've got there. 
why is Mr Harry's track marked as an original? It's the theme to Cheers
The compilation got trolled, and they haven't sorted it yet.
I know the video says Atari Flashback, but if you watch, it can actually take game cartridges too. No midi at the moment.

Personally, I'm hoping this will be the beginning of a beautiful new trend.

"The Nintendocore fan refuses to let go of the video games from his youth, however, his dedication leaves him trapped in an 8-bit world in his parents basement without a warp pipe to escape.
This old school cellar dweller won't touch a controller that has more than two buttons, even after all of his friends and game developers themselves, have abandoned ship. Don't ask these retro gamers to share their joypad, old titles were rarely multiplayer and you can bet his social skills are lacking because of it. Time away from his console is usually spent rereading back issues of Nintendo Power or soldering old RF cables together. The music in his playlist consists entirely of instruments from the nintendo universe, such as a hacked Game Boy, Mario Paint and songs he's composed on his Ocarina iPhone app.
If this pixel pusher ever has a problem operating something, he will attempt to fix it in the only way he knows how: flip it over, flick it with his pointer finger, then blow in it. This poor gamer suffers from a chronic blistering “NES thumb” from endless Super Mario Brothers time trials, but at least he's got a top rated YouTube video to show for it. In the event that his current system fails him, he keeps an unopened NES in a safety deposit box, courtesy of his parents.
The Nintendocore fan dreams of one day becoming a game tester or perhaps even a reviewer, however, after a 20 year 8-bit coma, adjusting to the complex controllers of today is near impossible. He will eventually follow his destiny, become a plumber and defend the original works of Shigeru Miyamoto to his death."
playlist:
anamanaguchi
minibosses
horse the band

there's even a gift code option so it's a great Christmas present for any PC, Mac or Linux gamer.
Just wanted to pick you up on that minor detail there.
Thanks everyone!
