Fuck yeah.

Chipocrite and Kris Keyser! My homies. Congratulations, fellas!

Thanks! I was tempted to do them but pretty much nobody on the chiptune scene has a breast pocket to put 'em in. Seemed like a bad investment.

Chairs are better. Big, comfy chairs.

As someone who's covered tracks by Starscream, Nullsleep, Bit Shifter, Facundo, Touchboy, DaPantz, and Dissassembler, I'm going to have to take umbridge at the allegation of incestuous cocksucking. In many of these cases I was asked to do a remix or cover by the person who composed the original. And it was fun. So there.

As for being sick of chipmusic, I only listen to a few chip music artists these days because, just like music in general, I don't like most of it. And a lot of the stuff that's popular is stuff I'm not really interested in. As far as emotion in chip music goes, I think that there is the potential for a wide range of emotion but very few artists actually take advantage of that. Unfortunately, these days it seems to me that the most popular emotion is whatever feeling is conveyed through thudding hormonal heavy-kick aggressive dance music and the inexplicable desire to "melt people's faces." That stuff can be fun, and there are definitely people who make aggressive dance music that I like, but it can also wear thin pretty quickly.

The whole reason I started a band with live instruments (guitar, piano, and violin,) and vocals is because I knew it would give me a wider emotional range (lyrics are especially useful for this, and there are, sadly, very few lyrical chip music acts.) Basically I wanted to make something that didn't involve a table seperating me from the audience and had some of the unique power that live instruments can give.

There's loads of terrible music in the world, and I'm in favor of encouraging people to do unique and innovative things. Obviously, that kind of innovation doesn't automatically translate into success or acceptance, and the quickest way to get the unwashed masses to like you is to copy formulas that have worked in the past. Just like in the wider world of music, the things that become most popular are often the most immediately palatable or accessible and not the most ground-breaking.

To sum up: you people should wash more frequently and I've never given a blowjob, incestuous or otherwise.*

*and a spike in the instance of washing is, frankly, unlikely to change that.
