You might not know it, but Br1ght Pr1mate are the most interesting band in the chiptune scene right now. They've accomplished this in the most boring way possible - by releasing Night Animals, a conventionally great album.

An album, of all things! At a time when such banal things as albums are dying slowly.

Nothing like the sound of chiptunes in the morning. PAX East 2012's jam space kicked the concerts off early this year, with chiptune artists performing from 11 AM to 2 PM.

As Danimal Cannon bragged in his chiptune panel later in the day (5:30 PM at the Wyvern), he "plays a mean guitar" - and chips a mean tune, as well (that's what the kids say, right?).
