Last.fm is much better, and I think Grooveshark has a radio feature.

Any of you New Yorkers who haven't had the pleasure of seeing Sievert like 8 times... you have no idea. No idea. It's about time this happened, though. GO SPACE CAPTAIN!

Re: So, which of you amazing people are going to buy an iPad and hack it? (46 replies, posted in General Discussion)
There is already an app for creating OSC-sending interfaces on iPhone OS, and probably midi too. No need to hack an iPad, unless you want all the other awesome things that come with that.

Topic: Earlier Electronic Music (52 replies, posted in General Discussion)
So lately I've been trying to broaden my musical horizons; a large part of this is trying to listen to lots of earlier electronic music (before dance music was the most well known form of electronic music, before most chipmusic). I'm mostly interested in the 1960-1985 period. I've been doing some research, but aside from the more famous stuff (kraftwerk, Wendy Carlos, Brian Eno, etc.), I'm a bit at a loss as to what is still really worth finding & listening to in this day and age.
I'm interested more in classical/ Ambient/noise oriented stuff in this vein.
Anybody have suggestions / care to discuss?

Re: Anyody in the Dallas area? (13 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Pixy, I, like IAYD, wish I could help. I do know there is a guy named Michael Dufault or something like that that lives in the area, he released something near the end of last year. Search 8bc if you care.
Other than that, I don't know... Damn the size of Texas. You coming down for SXSW?

Re: What was your first chip gig like? (100 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I played with 8BK-OK, Sievert, Starpause, and IAYD @ the highball in Austin back at the end of November. It was probably the most fun I'd had all year before blip. SnuGG beautifully documented it all, it's all over Vimeo.
I was super nervous because I had to open, but everything went well, and everybody killed it during their sets. We got free fancy food & alcohol, & we even got paid. Plus I made awesome new friends.

Re: What tricks/tips do you you when producing your chiptune (54 replies, posted in Audio Production)
I multitrack everything lately, synced manually to a reference point at the beginning and end of each track.
I have only had sync problems with songs 7:00+ minutes long w/ lots of tempo changes, but it worked well in the end. MIDI is not needed.
This has been very fruitful, it allows for lots of tweaking.
