I'm building a new Arduinoboy box, and I'm thinking about modifying the Arduino code/schematic to support a tap tempo button. The general idea: Rather than using the box to midi sync the Game Boy with another device, simply send a midi signal to the Game Boy by tapping the tempo with button on the box.
Has anyone ever tried this?

Gross is hipster-speak for awesome. Maybe.
I'd come if I was 21, it sounds awesome.
This may be true, but I was actually grossed out by the flyer. I'm sure that makes ovenrake happy tho

Keep an eye on the X-Bit website. Pretty sure Teo (Abducted By Sharks) has more shows planned this year.

but to be fair, the vast majority of covers on Youtube are just that: 8-bit for the sake of being 8-bit. Then again, it's Youtube.
The problem is not these covers. It's that Pitchfork featured them.
I make it a policy to never read Pitchfork, ever, about anything 
I think that's true that the majority of 8-bit covers aren't very good. But there's also some really great stuff out there. For me, 8-Bit Operators is the gold standard of chiptune cover projects.

Thanks. He helps me solder, occasionally 
After about 8 months of waffling, I finally broke down and bought a DCM8 drum machine for my live setup. I have to say, I'm pretty impressed. It has a few issues, but it sounds great, and it nicely compliments the chiptunes. I posted a quick video of it in action, midisynced to my Game Boy.
Surprisingly, I've never come across another band called Supercommuter. But occasionally we are confused with people who drive or bike long distances. I'm okay with that.
However, when I was in high school, I was in a punk band called Patient Zero. I now know that there are/were like a thousand other punk bands called Patient Zero. Go Internet!
Alright, you win Internet GIFs forever.
Why can't Tacoma be, like, 40 minutes from Seattle? One hour seems too far. Not too far for this show, though.
I did a split EP on cassette recently. It was fun, but I wish I would have recorded the music in a more analog-y.
Ordered! Thanks for making these.
This rules so hard.
