Today we have our first female chip-musician to perform on the "8bc open mic podcast". Bitmuch brings us a raga chip dnb set that will get anyone out of their chair, so be careful if you are listening to this while operating heavy equipment. We begin by asking the age ol' question "How necessary are the dreads?", then violence erupts over an incident involving "Goldie", but the the rage is quelled by Bitmuch's superb set, and a little help from mother nature. So grab a spliff, tuck in, and try not to "fall off your dinosaur". . .

Robot's Mix Tape vol. 1

So if you listened to the last episode of the "8bc open mic podcast" then you heard Robot mentioning getting his own radio show. Essentially I told him no, and the next morning he shows up with a bunch of lawyers. . . Apparently robots have rights, and I was told that I would be sued for psychological damages and that charges would be brought for violating about 4 labor laws, and that the use of the word "t**ster" in reference to Robot's grandmother, is considered a hate crime. . . Wow . . .so Robot got his radio show, but he still has to ask ME permission to use My computer. . .

We are priviliged to hear an absolutely bad-ass set by little-scale, which he performed live using a GBA SP with nanoloop 2.3 and a midified Sega Megadrive (a.k.a. genesis) played with a keyboard. The episode begins with me explaining why certain chiptune artists names confuse me, then little-scale makes Robot cry. And we end the show with some superb one channel craziness. So open a jar of vegemite, grab some ticks of toast, and get ready for a real treat!!!

8bc Open Mic Podcast episode #1

At last the 1st episode of the "8bc open mic" podcast is now available for download.

and:

Now I will apologize ahead of time for us, you see when this was recorded microchip was sick, I was sick, and the robot. . .well he's just a c*ck-smoker that made things difficult as usual. . . So I apologize now for not being able to understand some of the things we are saying, a bit stuffy sounding you see.

Also this show needs an intro, something 30sec to around a minute. I will leave this open to any 8bc members that wish to contribute and I will switch them as often as I get ones that I like. I would like to use a different one for each episode.

I hope you enjoy this episode enough that you will send in your own live submissions.
