I’ve only been to Toronto once, and it was in high school for a band trip. I think we went to “Medieval Times”? Enter the New York-based chiptune/rock band Anamanaguchi. Their tune “Another Winter” (above) is probably my favourite track from their soundtrack to Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. So kicky, so grooving, excellent melody, dynamite breakdown/build-up… it’s got it all.
When comic book series Scott Pilgrim came to video game form last year – Ubisoft’s Scott Pilgrim Vs The World: The Game – it played like an old-school beat ‘em up, with pixelated style. But it could have been a very different adventure.
Scott Pilgrim cartoonist Bryan Lee O’Malley posted a track from the upcoming video game adaptation of the movie adaptation of comic Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, over on his website.
Online record label Pterodactyl Squad has released a free 8-bit Weezer tribute album, featuring some of the biggest names in chiptune paying homage to the band’s greatest works.
