I want to do "Smoke," but I am also afraid of failure and submitting shit to this compilation.
Anyway, put me down for "Smoke" and I will attempt to face my fear and give you something worth listening to.
EDIT: Also, "Your Most Valuable Possession" would be fun to cover, but that's not even really a song, and my ears aren't good enough to guess at the structure of the riff in the background…

I heard you like compilations.
Carillon is harder to use in my opinion, but it does some stuff that LSDj doesn't, like you can use the PC side utility to recompile your save into a Demo ROM. That's pretty cool. I've been meaning to learn it.
You don't use PayPal? I'm pretty sure you can donate to Johan with PayPal…
NUCLACE already made the first track!
No complaints. 
EDIT:
For the people who still might not understand this thread,
here's an example of a typical Lazare thread, on everybody's favorite website.
Ho-Ho-hoooooleeeee shit hahhahah this is the best.
"THIS THREAD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MLP"
*Puts a pony picture in every post*

yeah, but given his first post, what would you have renamed it to? if we can pick a better name, ill change it again
I didn't realize this was an already improved title, it must have been absolutely horrid before. 
I didn't mean to question your judgement as a moderator, either. Honestly, this thread is such a clusterfuck that I don't think I could even attempt to encapsulate what Lazare is trying to ask for with his "melodic chip-fusion music without repetitive rhythms" larking.
"Diverse Tonality in Chip Music?" Even that is too vague. I don't know. I'd say "Chip Music for The Illiterate," but that's kind of pointed. 
I'm really not even trying to be mean, but the Lazare posts I've seen really are characterized by the guy coming into a niche community and demanding seemingly in all seriousness to know why its conventions differ from more mainstream music—an ignorant question that belies both a lack of personal interest or research, and a flagrant disregard for older traditions in demoscene, homebrew, micromusic, hacker culture, et. al. that are still influencing parts of the "chip sound" today.
I think it's pretty obvious that there are many different platforms available to approach making "true" chip music, and running around saying "Why is everyone using a DMG ughhh" doesn't take into account reasons for it's popularity—actively developed and highly flexible software, relative inexpense, stereo output… there are a lot of compelling draws to the DMG.
Anyway, that opens another can of worms, which is the mainstream appeal of chiptune and "the chip sound" to laypersons who do not find the creation process interesting—which is what I assume we have here.
EDIT: Also, I mean, fucking ponies.
Oh god how did I not read this thread until now, I didn't realize this was a total smackdown fight night pay-per-view event.
(I didn't read it because the thread title sounds absolutely dumb. "Less Flavor in Food?" "Less Stimulation in Sex?" "Less Words in Literature?")
You might have stressed the ribbon cable too much. Maybe you could try the vertical lines reflow trick and see if that works?
It's still worth checking again, there might be something obviously disconnected…
Oh man, I am glad I looked that up and realized it was a Philly thing before I tried to expand the riff into elaborated mishearings of that song's lyrics.
link to the article? thanks.
Here you go:
8-Bit Artisan: Party Time! Hexcellent! brings people together by getting closer to the machine
EDIT: I still have paper copies of this issue sitting around my house, haha.
…Do you have the contrast turned all the way down?
hally was about to select his last song, but no carrier grabbed by the shoulder and told me to start shouting "Surfin' USA"
So I did, because it was open bar, and I would jump off a cliff if no carrier told me to.
Hally played his cover, everyone lost their shit, and i lost my shit.
I was on stage for Hally doing Surfin' USA at Datapop 2010, a now-defunct SXSW show with 8BP backing that was really great while it lasted. It was just such an unfiltered moment of fun to be on stage with 30 people screaming Surfin' USA over a Famicom at the behest of an overwhelmingly exuberant Japanese man. That's actually where I met I, Cactus and most of the Austin people for the first time, too. 
Not a Blip Memory™ per se, but that seems like it was in the spirit of all of the wonderful ones you guys all have. 
well… I think Adams lack of memory is for a different, more liquidy fermented, reason
Ahh, a lack of memory does not necessarily imply a lack of experience. How insightful!
Hahahaha.
That gives me another Datapop memory: The venue that used to host it, The Highball, is kind of a strange place. I don't have any ill to speak of it, but it seems like a place with no target audience—it's a super rockabilly posh bar with a bowling alley and karaoke.
Anyway, they had a drink special during Datapop 2011 (the last Datapop), that was 50¢ Milwaukee's Best.
So, of course, the bartender tells me this, and I hand him a dollar bill and say, "I'll take two!"
He cracks the tops on both of them, hands them to me, and says pointedly as I begin to double-fist:
"Don't forget to tip!"
I always tip, but holy shit bartender dude, please chill out. Then again, SXSW is fucking brutal on the service industry workers here… I had a girlfriend work a 90 hour week during a SXSW once. 
My best Blip memory is not having Blip memories.
I'm glad to see you've put this out, it's always been a blast to play with it when you have it set up.
Our friend GoingHam has a PS/2 port built into his DMG, so he's using an unmodified keyboard—one which I've verified works on all of my DMGs.
Telerophon, I'm begging you for like 5 minutes of your time, could you please email me at [email protected] with a 'keyboardtest.sav' or something of that nature. Perhaps there is a setting or something of that nature I've overlooked. I really want to attack this as scientifically as possible.
Sure thing, dude—Check you inbox! I hope you can get it figured out.
Good luck!
