breakphase wrote:I would like these albums if they were done well, pitchfork or not. But if you were a really good chip artist you wouldn't make a radiohead cover album. Right? Most cover albums around here are comps, because one person would'nt want to spend that much time covering one artist, straight. You'd want to re-interpret them or something. Which would be uninteresting to Pitchfork, unless it was done by Beck.
I would gladly sit down and cover all of Daft Punk's "Human After All" but I am not a really good chip artist.
You know, it's our fault for waiting for music press like pitchfork to throw us a bone when we know full well that they never have and never will understand electronic music (even the mainstream stuff). We have our own community, we are all self-made and we support each other, what's stopping us from doing our own music zine / blog dedicated to chip / experimental electronic / etc? If we had something like that we wouldn't need pitchfork.
And before anyone sugests that it's been done before, I do recall a couple times people tried to do chipmusic reviews and it was awful. Also if you are an artist in the scene you don't have that impartial journalistic integrity anyway. What I'm trying to say is, we should find our own music reviewers that "get it" and support them.

Bit Shifter wrote:I don't think covers are the intrinsic problem. If I'm in a rock band and we decide to cover a song we like by an artist we like, out of a genuine appreciation for the song and an interest in "trying it on," we'll do it for those reasons. And, if we have any talent / ability and we're lucky, maybe we'll even succeed at creating a unique reinterpretation that respects the original without being a straight clone of it. Swap out the guitars & drums (or whatever) for chipmusic gear and I don't see anything changing that equation.
p.s. on second thought... do people have different expectations from electronic covers than they do from acoustic ones? Would Pitchfork feature a rock cover of a rock song that just sounds like the original? would they feature a chip cover of a rock song that tries to inject its own style or imagination into the original? would we call that a remix and not a cover?
Stenobot wrote:@Bit Shifter: Word. There are some great chiptune covers out there. The bad ones are the ones that feel like they're just being "8-bit" for the sake of being 8-bit, and not injecting some originality and creativity into it. It's the equivelant approach of your standard dive bar cover band.
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.
egr wrote:What's the typical % for tipping a cab driver?
those newer cabs with the credit card swiping screen in the backseat have pre-defined tipping amounts that usually start at 20%. If for any reason you want to tip less than that, you have to make sure to tap "other amount" or whatever the option is. But 20% is fair if the driver didn't get you killed.

I guess it uses Flash for the sound? I'm working on HTML5 games at work and we've been talking about doing sound on mobile but it's hard. I was excited when I saw this but apparently it does not work on phones 
if anyone is around the financial district (lower manhattan) we could totally meet up for lunch.
