The bulk of the blips and bloops come curtasy of the Nintendo Gameboy .

Been a slow couple of days on the indie news front (as if you hadn’t noticed) In fact, I’m not sure we’ve ever, in our extensive 3 month stint, experienced a week with so few releases. Brooks is blaming it all on Dream Build Play, which seems to be a perfectly fine goat to scape to me so I’ll go along with it. Fortunately, we got a little bit of a chip tune bail out from Beep City who has released Moldilox’ debut album Flamin’ Hot Cheat Codes. I don’t even know what that title means, but I do know I like chiptunes, so whatever.
Here are a couple sample tracks along with some more information below, be sure to check out the full album available for free over at Beep City.
01. Wistful Woods
04. Alleycat Shakedown

Kicking off with something brand new and never before heard, Flamin’ Hot Cheatcodes is chock full of Moldilox’s boldest jams, each retooled for the optimum TV-game-channeling experience. Consider this a chronicle of Chapter One of the Moldilox Story!

Yeah, it’s as bad ass as y ou think it is. Check out the embedded video below, and click on through for the full sound track and more details.

YouTube user Auriplane just uploaded a bitchen video featuring Mega Man 3′s Snake Man busting some mad moves to an equally bitchen beat. That’s all I know aobut this, and im too busy watching it over and over again to go find out anymore.
If you like the jam the creator(s) have it available for free here.
Special Bonus: JesseB’s 9 month old William submitted his first TwoFedora.com review. Watch and be amazed as he offers in depth insight into Snake Man’s rock out.
We’ve posted game music before, we’ve even remixes of game music before, but never have we posted “real people” music before. Set in our ways, we don’t intend on changing this any time soon, but a chiptuned take on Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon seems like a perfectly reasonable compromise. This little gem comes to us from a Mr. Brad Smith who programs video games and stuff. Be sure to check out Brad’s website where you can learn more about him and download the whole chiptuned shebang.

It’s a bit of a slow morning out there today, with the industry seemingly trying to recover from a lively PAX East. But whatever the reason may be, we have a duty to keep things fresh! So here is a little music for you from the Swiss duo Pocketmaster.
Residue is Swiss duo Pocketmaster’s first album.
After the festive EP Tin Guerilla (2008/self-produced), the Cube-C and Emiglio Laser duo abandons self-production to release its first label album.Used to lowtech manipulations and samples from old chips, toys or other various sources, this time, Pocketmaster chose to surprise us by preserving the sound card’s raw sound, without manipulation. A certain image-radical-purety!
The album is thus concocted entirely from the Game-boy and Commodore 64 duo, spiced up with all sorts of samples and a few old synthesizers, all recorded in a record time. The result is a twelve tracker, fresh and joyful, in the spirit of the duo’s over-vitamin live performances.Yet, the two artists don’t hesitate to have their pieces drift through several musical universes. In addition to a track remixed my Stu, and a Naomi Sample cover, Residue offers the listeners a magnificent cover of the “It Crowd” series’ credits.
Contrary to its title “Residue”, which means leftover, or relics, this first album is innovative and illustrates the wacky duo’s wish to always surpass themselves.
Here are the first three tracks from the album Residue. You can find the full album available at “da! heard it records” where it’s available for free in both MP3 and OGG formats. If you end up liking what you hear you can even pick up the CD to support the artists.
01 – Dr. Sleepgood 2
02 – Crunch
03 – Ninja Maggots
You may remember one of our very first posts about the hit Bad Apple videos way back in, um, February. Anyways, there’s a new(ish) video out, this time actually featuring an apple. To be perfectly honest though, it doesn’t look bad it looks rather delicious. I wonder if CNN will call this one the making of the making of the original video.
This isn’t new, hell this isn’t even recent. But it doesn’t matter because Miku and Mega Man are both timeless. This video features Hatsune Miku, the first synthesized character voice of the popular Vocaloid 2 software suite, singing the music of Mega Man 3. Now let’s get our education on by completely ignoring everything every college professor told me about using Wikipedia as a source and go ahead and use Wikipedia as a source.
Hatsune Miku (初音ミク?) is the first installment in the Vocaloid 2 Character Vocal Series released on August 31, 2007. The name of the title and the character of the software was chosen by combining Hatsu (初 First?), Ne (音 Sound?), and Miku (未来 Future?).[12] The data for the voice was created by actually sampling the voice of Saki Fujita, a Japanese voice actress. Unlike general purpose speech synthesizers, the software is tuned to create J-pop songs commonly heard in anime, but it is possible to create songs from other genres.
Isn’t learning fun? Check out the video below!
So, I’ve been looking forward to this for a couple weeks now, ever since the teasers started coming out really. Fortunately, I have to wait no more and neither do you because IWADON, the Hiroyuki Iwatsuki tribute album, is now available for our listening pleasure.
IWADON is a tribute by Game Music 4 All to game composer Hiroyuki Iwatsuki, who has been writing music for Natsume videogames for 20 years. The compilation includes arrangements in various styles from artists located all over the world, featuring liner notes in English and Japanese. Iwadon is the handle used by Iwatsuki on twitter, and it was how he was credited on the staff rolls of his early games.
The album can be streamed over at the official IWADON website. There is also a good deal of information about the songs and their individual artists made available as the music is playing. It all makes for a very nice presentation.
