Not trying to blogspam or anything, but take a look at 8bitpeoples. It's a homegrown label of a bunch of chiptune artists releasing their stuff under CC license. Joshua Davis (Bit Shifter from the first part of the documentary) is one of the people running it and has some of his stuff on there. Last time I checked, they're up to almost 90 albums with all but the oldest few listed for free on the site.

I've been a fan of 8bitpeoples for a while now. Chiptunes are amazing, and they make up a fair amount of my listening. Those guys can make very limited hardware do amazing things.

I watched this last week when it was on pitchfork.tv and it was a really good documentary.

I freakin' love Chiptunes too (but I must confess to favouring C64 tunes over NES/Gameboy ones) and have been considering flying out for this year's Blip Fest. The only things holding me back are the costs from the UK, and being surrounded by lots of nerds trying to dance, as evidenced in this video! Uuuurgh

I've been following this type of music for a bit, defintaly something for the days I want to listen to something different.

What I'd really like is DIY guide to building the light wall they use.

Teehee, I'm in a bunch of those crowd shots (the film opening performance and the outdoor Nullsleep performance off the top of my head). It's one of the upsides of living in the city.

Blipfest 2006 and 2007 were badass, made good contacts, finally got a few copies of LSDJ for my gameboys (as well as a copy of Pushpin, which enables me to controll the gameboy sound chip with a midi keyboard or controller if I can ever build the gamelink to midi conversion box correctly).

I'm assuming you're into GOTO80 then, right? Commodore Grooves was a great flippin' album.
