The Weezer 8-bit tribute album

shampoosuicide · 23-07-2009 6:03am #1

anyone heard this yet?

'UK-based videogame music netlabel Pterodactyl Squad released The 8-bit Album, a chiptune tribute to geek rock darlings Weezer. Fourteen tracks strong and featuring everything from the straight-ahead electronica of Videogame Orchestra’s “Islands in the Sun (Belmont’s Revisal)” to the chipped-up power pop of I Fight Dragon’s take on “Why Bother,” The 8-bit Album is both a heartfelt tribute to Cuomo and company and a veritable who’s who of the bitpop scene itself. Better yet: it’s free'

It's very very strange but I kind of like it. The world has turned and left me is my favourite

I love 8 bit, check out Da Chip (Daft Punk 8bit Tribute) it works far better obviously.

Ah it puts a smile to me face! Downloaded Buddy Holly first off as its the only song I recognised. Have to say, what song wouldnt be made better by 8-bitting it? Cant get enough and there should be more! :pac:

You have to unzip the file, the songs are inside it.

Ok Google WinZip and download the program when you find it. When its downloaded, install it. After its been installed all you have to do is double click on the Weezer album to open it, then choose extract files or just drag them onto your desktop or something.

I see Daft Punks people had the 8bit Daft Punk tribute removed from the net, hmmmmm.
