It's one of the most important events in the creation of the home video games business, the day they realized you can only sell as many blades as there are razor handles on bathroom sinks (to use their analogy.)
The video game crash set the stage for Sega and Nintendo to regrow the market in the US relatively unopposed, though honestly, I thought the landfill of E.T. and PacMan carts was just an urban legend. Wow.
Bnox has a uke with a pickup that doesn't sound like a uke while he plays it (to me.)
Definitely got the punk part right.
The article is a list of observations with no real point, I'm not even sure he draws a conclusion about authenticity. If anything, the real authentic/not authentic fight is over ripping, which itself is somewhat rare.
It makes me think of AquesTone put in a little box. It would seem from a response I got on another forum that they weren't aware of AquesTone....
It'd be neat to modify a stylophone to be able to glide with the extra bar like that.
If the thread was changed to "namedrop people you admire" or "namedrop people you know" it'd get a similar result.
Bnox because nobody said yet.
You want CHEAP? You want OG?
Step 1: Go find a boombox with a tape deck, possibly free anywhere in the world.
Step 2: Open it up and desolder the tapehead, and also the headphone jack.
Step 3: Connect the wires that used to be connected to the tapehead to the headphone jack.
Step 4: Close that shit up.Plug your GB into the headphone jack, crank it up, and busk while some guy breakdances, forever!
Suddenly that fake old-timey stereo in the living room might have a purpose if my wife will let me crack it open...
I'm surprised there isn't more of this sort of experimentation with different driver and amp circuits. I recommend making your own amp circuit from transistors instead of using an op-amp IC.
Are Hubbard and Galway not listed yet because they're obvious?
My all-times are Wally Beben's Tetris and Follin's Gauntlet III.
Maybe the question to be asked is, where are all the crap copies of e.s.c. and tree wave? When are tree wave coming back, anyway? 
I'd hit that if it was close enough to home. Of course, the internet cafe/gambling sting in Florida isn't helping.
Band camp will provide a warning about setting a price so low that the PayPal fees cost you money instead of making any.
XMPlay can play any of the tracker formats, some of the stranger stuff needs... erm... stranger stuff... but nothing google can't find for you.
The idea of releasing something experimental in an anonymous fashion is fascinating, I wonder why more people don't want to try it.

but do you think that's a fundamental problem with curation, or is that more a statement about the lacking state of curation nowadays?
It's a fundamental issue with curation.
The way I see it happening in my social timelines is that I only follow what I like, and therefore see the noisiest of that. Even in something like a netlabel, if that label won't provide variety or stray from its norm occasionally, unless I really like what they're sending I'll get bored of seeing the same things repeatedly and move on. If the label gets the style completely wrong (that is, it's curated poorly) then there's no reason to follow at all.
This escapes the OP quite a bit, sorry for the inconvenience. I'm going to answer aanaaanaaanaaana privately when I have more time.
Curation doesn't solve the problem if the listener doesn't trust the curator.
