In a past life I worked in a toy store. We make music from recycled toys. It's nothing to be afraid or ashamed of.

I don't know if you guys want to litigate but good luck if you do.

It was hard enough for people to take us seriously before. . .

Kids are people too, and bratty kids have extreme control over their parents' money. Also, Main Street Electric Parade.

Not an apology for bad behavior, but I think it's important to make a good thing out of this.

The hotel I'm at right now seems to be running 802.11b so I haven't been able to watch the Disney spot yet.

I've wondered when someone will try to make a children's version of "our" music, in an off-handed way, this is a partly-good sign.

If you know kids who would see that, take some time to show them who Anamanaguchi are.

I just listened to an interview clip where jazz guitarist Bill Frisell says after 40 years of playing he still doesn't think his sound is unique. Take that any way you want.

A greater part of a composer's life is spent "getting it wrong." The best advice I can give for repeating past glory is to stop trying to repeat past glory. Make new glory instead.

Famous composers make up and throw out tunes on a daily basis, most never being released. Make mistakes, and try your best to remember why they are mistakes.

I live by that statement when it comes to Detroit. I don't play around with that shit, but I did go look at it with some friends and it wasn't mine. It was definitely stolen though because he offered to sell to me for $30

Careful out there, good luck getting it replaced. (At least until they invent that fake CSI "enhance" stuff...)

It may be true that the NES never had flat square pixels at that time because it was played on TVs, but there were other computer systems that have very nice sharp pixels in the same era.

Perception is a funny thing I guess...

I have always subscribed to the right wing "Preserved pixels are a lie of the emulation age" theory though :x

Is this because crt pixels are not square?

Do you mean that you have stereo and you just want to get vocals or drums out? Gates, filters, deliberately dropping L or R channels, and phase canceling are all possibilities.

Actually, you have a good start. Try to make repeated ideas sound just a little but different each time they come around. The melodies are strong, make more of them; the impression I get from the sound is Anamanaguchi with less speed and fewer instruments and therein lies the rub.

Keep looking for a sound that is more clearly "yours."

Edit: Sounds better than that 8-bit girl thing.
