Chipmusician Smiletron has recently made the move to Bandcamp, offered up lossless versions of many of his previous releases, along with a new piece, Eclipse.
Combining melow chiptune lines with acoustic piano and crunchy percussions, Smiletron continues to raise the bar in both production and composition. Smiletron sounds like no one else; creative, emotive, and powerful, he is an asset to the worldwide chiptune community. With Eclipse, he continues to move forward.
The ChipMusicChronicle brings us the entire weekend of BlipFestival 2012 in a single YouTube Playlist. The whole show from front-to-back has been captured from a spot in the crowd, it’s the closet thing to being there. My heart breaks a thousand times for missing it this year, but thankfully I spent my time playing awesome music with new friends in Austin. Thank the Chiptune Demi-Gods for The ChipMusic Chronicle.
The ChipMusicCronicle is managed by Emily Feder. Add the Chronicle on Facebook and subscribe on YouTube.

A brief overview of Chiptune from The Verge:

Using FL Studio and Plogue’s Chipsounds, MyLifeIsPixels has crafted a unique and diverse album worth repeated listens. Check it out and download it for free from Bandcamp or Soundcloud!

Rare is a website this cool. The JavaScript GameBoy Color Game Center is a web-based GBC emulator that hosts a handful of awesome GameBoy Color Games and requires no download to play. Using HTML5 and JIT engines this site offers a desktop-like emulation experience right inside your browser window. It even includes the LSDj demo, for browser-based chiptuning. Awesome.
