My phone is resending texts that I sent over a week ago, while it was off.
My laptop is randomly changing windows when it feels like it.
A pair of socks fell to the floor from somewhere.
My bed is creaking strangely, and one of it's drawers opened slightly.
And my door, which you usually have to force open, is making the noise it makes when someone's trying to get in.
Or is it just that I'm noticing this all today, when really it's always like this.
Either way I'm turning my music up. Speaking of which, on twitter Josh Mattingly of Indie Statik drew attention to a wonderful site full of chiptunes. Pause, found at http://www.iimusic.net/, has a full catalogue of a mix of chiptune artists, ordered by release date, with most of the artist information pages linking to a Bandcamp page where you can preview the tracks. I'm loving this site, and I'm still finding new tunes and artists to love through it. My favourite at the moment is Alex Mauer's 'Koalie is Dead', eight wonderful tracks for a NES game that unfortunately never saw the light of day. I can, and have spent hours on this website, just browsing through their roster of artists, and I probably will keep going back to it. Check it out if you're even slightly interested in chiptunes or if you're just curious about what I'm on about, Alex Mauer is a good place to start, and I'd recommend Disasterpeace afterwards. Especially the album, 'Rise of the Obsidian Interstellar', it is fantastic.
Leave me a comment and let me know what you think if you do check it out. Thanks for reading!
