    In reality it just gives me an excuse to post the above video.

    Producer Paul Levering made special note of (I was happy to hear) one Dallas act in particular that I think fits both criteria: Paul Slocum and Lauren Gray’s Tree Wave, who list their MySpace ‘sounds like’s as: My Bloody Valentine / Stereolab / Lali Puna / M83 and Postal Service, and I can’t say it much better. Above is their video for their best track, Sleep.

  • NO CARRIER Call for NSF composers.

    august_pwNO CARRIER is looking for fresh NSF’s for his series of Pulsewave NES
    ROM fliers. These ROM’s are used to promote Pulsewave, a monthly chip
    party in NYC. He has been creating original ROM’s each month for over
    two years. They were even recently featured as part of Uninteded Uses,
    an art show at the Nexus Gallery in Philadelphia. Join Nullsleep, Baron
    Knoxburry, Animal Style, Peter Swimm, Alex Mauer, and 8GB and become
    (more) famous on the interwebs by submitting your tunes for his ROM’s.

  • Tag ‘Em All by Dispyz

    tag-em-all-mLive set + ep + bonus features from one of my favorite chip acts. From the website:


    LIVE FROM HOLLYWOOD: CIRCLE JERK GALORE! …erm, wait! I mean Dispyz galore! Ahem, recorded back in September, we revisit a night of lulz, hangovers, the strange people of Hollywood, that crappy salon turned to night club/bar, and a night of a few regrets and disappointment all thx to the “FUCKING MANAGER!”. Thanks go out to 8bitweapon & Computeher, lovely people. Extra special thanks goes out to none other than Starpause himself, clothed I may add, who was kind enough to record the Dispyz set! This Mezcal is for you, man! Bottoms up! Anyway, onto the circle jerk… I mean show!
