Obviously, go with what works for you. I don't give a shit if people use bandcamp or not, I have no personal interest in it.

Returning to the OP I'm glad chipmusic can do well anywhere. I hope people will get out of the habit of measuring success with money.

my god, that shit is the devil, let's crucify the creators.

People in obscure countries may have trouble with Paypal but that's beside the point. Stats speak for themselves, archive.org and SoundCloud get me more hits, making them better for me.

or better yet, let's go back to the days where every band / artist had their own individual website (that no one visited) with terrible design and more often than not, shitty mp3 links rather than streaming audio. that was better, right?

Actually, I think it was, specifically because the result is easier to control and higher quality than streaming. Because of this, you should still have a private website even if people don't seem to visit.

They've improved, I had to go all the way to page 6 of the best-sellers before finding Zelda Step and a brony album.

There is plenty to be improved in bandcamp, though I'm indifferent regarding most of it. All I really get out of them is an embedded player.

but we know knife city, and he's been approved, so he's allowed to have fun.

You've made my point, though please consider if this is the reason why teen-pop covers happen. (If it is part of the reason, it is not the whole reason.)

Also, emphasis.

Anybody mash it with Musique Non-stop yet? Great video work of course.

This board needs a bbcode for sarcasm.

I'm glad someone mentioned Speak, success of Anamanaguchi and Speak are the main source of credibility, if you feel you need some.

I'm gonna leave this old news here and you can draw your own conclusions.

Beginners will take roads already tread while they learn, it's part of learning- but when it comes to learning it may be better to simply do things than to worry about feedback until you get a better idea of what you're capable of.

The best thing you can do is be laser focused on what you really like and can honestly promote with enthusiasm.  And of course your "brand name" is pretty important.  Think hard about what image you're trying to build!

If this phrase excites you or doesn't make you feel stiff in your gut, carry on. Otherwise...

Chromelodeon were good but broke up.. I was thinking some days ago that I am disappointed that there don't seem to be as many chip + other instruments acts lately.

This.

I can say with confidence that wife and I look forward to the possibility of rebuilding our house in 2013, getting a new cat or two, and maybe even trying sex without birth control. (The cat has the biggest probability of actually happening.)

As for music, I have a few ideas but I won't hurry to any them.
