Scott Pilgrim Video Game

Music by Ananmanaguchi. Art by Paul Robertson. Pretty neat looking! And a pretty straightforward Double Dragon Clone (with 4-player co-op, hopefully on one console). But then there was this,



which challenges me to forget everything I know about save points, co-op, power ups, and video games (among other things); which is odd, because both trailers actually reinforce everything I know about that stuff. Intriguing!

Dr. Horrible in 8-Bit

At the risk of posting another thing about human relationships, here's Act One of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, performed in 8-Bit, by DoctorOctoroc. (See the original here.)

EDIT: Also playing from the ShoutBox. Good work, Galspanic!

EDIT: Look, it's the soundtrack.

…Cycles?

Much better than you expect. I again long for The Factory.

Rites

Hey, new album from Friend of Pieces of Things, Tettix: Rites.

I'm hoping this album will be a bit of a surprise to most of you, it's unlike anything I've done before. The entire album is a remodeling of Igor Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring" - a ballet that caused riots at its 1913 debut because of a brazen use of dissonance and polyrythms. It was a symphony that changed the very definition of music and I hope I've done it at least some justice. If you're unfamiliar with the original, I highly recommend you check it out (there's full videos on Youtube of the symphony).

Check it out! Even though it looks like there may be some culture involved! Yikes!

New Tettix EP

Listening to new EP by Pieces of Things Favorite Tettix about the "life and death of an evil tyrant". The Tyrant's Parable is pretty lush so far, with the usual strangely-not-corny steadily-building drama directed by evocative track titles. Cover art by Tettix! Check it out, you haven't already.

Turbo, my 3-year old, still really loves Earth's Assault on the Central AI. He calls it "the going too fast music."

Tettix's latest newsletter indicates he's going under the knife later this week. We wish you good fortune on your double hernia operation, brother!

You dudes seen this already right?

so pretty and the music is fun.
