I have been listening to quite a bit of 8-bit music lately. I get all nostalgic think about old video games. I must have rubbed off on my buying habits because I brought a CD for the first time for ever. I used to spend all my money on music in my starving dropping out of college days. I used to wait in line at midnight to get new releases. I kind of miss CD’s but the digital download is just to easy and practical. What inspired this purchase was Unicorn Dream Attack’s Love Bits. It is a damn good album if you like chiptune and 8-bit music. I don’t mind at all giving a little notice little artist in the big bad music world.
