Noise Channel: a new radio show dedicated to chiptunes photo

We don't talk about the chip music scene much on Destructoid, but I don't think anyone would deny that the scene's roots dig back into the history of videogames.  With all the retro revival titles we've been seeing of late it's no surprise then that many artists who've made it big in the chip music scene have been involved with a number of game soundtracks (Scott Pilgrim and the Bit.Trip series) and remix albums (Chiptuned Rockman and SQ Chips) over the years.  

If 8-bit music tickles your nostalgic funny bone, then Noise Channel has you covered. Hosted by Kristi "TrueStar" Kaufman and produced by Jake "virt" Kaufman, the show delves into all things chip music, playing a variety of tracks including originals, modern 8-bit game soundtracks, and even exclusive music that can't be heard elsewhere.  Additionally, Jake Kaufman takes questions over the air about chip music and how to make it.

The show airs live every Thursday night between 10:00-11:00 PM EST on Arecibo Radio, so you may want to give it a listen! And feel free to subscribe to the show's Twitter feed at @NoiseChanRadio.

Let's try that again, this time without the thoughtless hotlinking:

Mr. Hatsworth is correct. Dtoid is where I first found out about the chiptune scene. Hell, Zen Albatross is even a Dtoider. Got to see him do a set & meet him at BlipFest.

Coincidentally I was just listening to 8 bit remixes of some of my favorite songs.

A few of the songs I was listening to:

Well, I'm not saying we never write about it, as the links in the post suggest, it's just that we don't write about it all that often. In fact, we average less than one post per month about the chip music scene:

Most of our content relates to Blipfest, MAGFest, and specific games and remix albums that feature 8-bit music, but there's an awful lot going on in the chip music scene each and every week.

Do you guys think we ought to provide more coverage of what's going on in the chip music scene?
