This thread wouldn't be complete without some great live videos from Hall and Oates.

Observe them in 1976 - great:

And in 1995 - still fucking great:

This album is so so so so so so so good. I listen to it over and over again. I need to start dragging 2 copies of it into my playlist at a time so I don't have to keep restarting it.. or maybe I can just loop it forever and ever.

OK, hell yeah, initial 4 or 5 word reports are positive. Now, come back with pictures and paragraphs.

They actually have different versions of their tracks just for 8static that use LSDJ.


Dude, someone should get a vid of that at the show! smile

It'll be streaming, so check out 8static.com for the link about the time of the show.. and enso is right, Shari from Void Vision has been using trackers for years, so she re-did all their backing tracks in LSDJ for their chip shows. Besides that they use vintage synths and drum machines, etc.

They'll have a song on the upcoming Philly chip compilation, available to Kickstarter donaters for just $10! wink

Hey fuckers stop 8bc-ing up this thread!

by "8bc'ing" you mean expressing an opinion? I didn't mean anything in a personal way,



Why does everyone get so damn touchy when i express an opinion that happens to not follow with the majority?
God forbid i don't think this awards game is needed just like i don't think something as loaded as the grammy's and Oscars is needed.
It simply builds ego and puts competitive motivation into places where they aren't needed or wanted.

I'm not trying to flame, or troll, i'm simply expressing my opinion. if someone wants to disagree with me that's great. We're all entitled
to our own opinions.



Where's my award for being the most opinionated asshole in the scene... i know i was at least nominated.

Also, just FYI: when I start a message with "Hey fuckers" and then use "8bc" as a verb.. I'm just kidding around.

For a minute I got scared that you had posted 4 videos of me talking shit..

Hey fuckers stop 8bc-ing up this thread!

Also, if you don't know Void Vision, take a look at this video:

Her name is Lauryn.  She goes to the same school as me.  She likes playing Katamari Damacy, her DS, and watching Chobits.  She's liked all the chipmusic I've shown her, especially YMCK and J Arthur Keenes, and she'll possibly be at the next 8static if she doesn't have work.  But she'll definitely be at the March one!!

Quick! Edit that post before the hoards of chip nerds scour facebook to befriend her!
