[ current selection | the minibosses – castlevania 3 ]
[ feelin’ | like rockin’ out ]
so who had a nintendo when they were growing up? ok, not me…i wasnt so fortunate back then. but everybody else and their sisters seemed to have one, so i didnt necessarily need one myself. zelda, metroid, punch-out, kid icarus, contra…the list of fond childhood video game memories just geeks on and on. theres an article on wired about a band out of phoenix who managed to extend their swishy video-game days well into their adulthood…and are now the minibosses, a cover-band that doesnt actually cover other bands songs, but soundtracks from old-school nes games. word. nes-games…and only nes (except mario). that so rocks. theres even band rivalry too! theres apparently another vid-geek-rock band called the neskimoes who poos the minibosses and sound decidedly geeky. “…They have a Web site that disses the Minibosses, because they won’t perform the theme to Mario. “It’s like an A-ha cover band not playing ‘Take on Me,'” says Dr. Wily, the NESKimoes’ lead guitarist.” shit, dr. wily? i wonder if the bassist is the eggplant wizard. hopefully things will get nasty soon and theyll start flinging nes cartridges at each other shuriken-style. the life of a rockstar…rock on…

QUICKIE UPDATE
yo, who thought the chem brothers old-school kung-fu video was hot? thanks to greg, you can download a bigass 480×360 divx version from his site. you’ll need both divx and the ac3 audio codex to play the video.
… very cool. music and smells are always really good about bringing back old memories. maybe because thet are so ambient and extract. also you propbably don’t even pay attention to music or smell much unless its interesting. man the last time i heard that castlevania music i was like 8. very cool shit.
oops. meant abstract* (been a rough week)
shoot tiring you out eh?
i wonder if the minibosses are willing to upgrade to genesis. theres some rockin’ tracks i wouldnt mind having updated with guitar riffs…
