I'm sorry to sour this thread a little, and crazy amounts of love to all three of those guys, but I vehemently disagree with this. There seems to be a general attitude these days that anyone who is proficient at what they do, or has an original outlook on their given creative outlet is a genius. While the guys you listed above are very good at what they do, they are not geniuses by any stretch of the imagination. They sucked once, worked hard, practiced, and got better, and while they certainly moved chipmusic forward I really don't believe they brought it from larvae to butterfly all by themselves. Nobody did.

Maybe I just have an overblown idea of what a genius is, but I don't even think guys like Richard D. James or Aaron Funk, or the great composers of the 1700s and 1800s were geniuses. They just think/thought outside of the box, and took things that they already know/knew/that influenced them, and filtered them through their own lens.

There has been rumor of a possible showing of this happening in Portland. Would we be stepping on any toes if it ends up happening?

My penniless ass is missing Boris for this.

Just sayin.

There's something for everyone. I don't like DS-10 music. I don't like the Beatles. I'm sick of the Amen break.

Does that make me an elitist?

This batch of LSDJ songs I'm working on may very well prove to be my last, before I move on to greener pastures.

Things are still pretty assy in Linux on my eeepc 900HD all across the board as far as audio goes. Even fairly lightweight apps like SunVox and MPT (through Wine) stutter like me talking to a girl. It might just be me, but the audio output also sounds thinner, like if a normal PC were a DMG then my netbook would be a Game Boy Color...
