It's ironic (at least to me) that while I run a hyper-local blog, I get lots of music from national labels and acts to review, but never from local people. That kind of makes me feel inside. Regardless, while the South by Southwest festival ended last week, the region was represented by a ton of bands from Pittsburgh including Black Moth Super Rainbow:

Upon listening to your musical picks, I recalled an interesting phenomenon that I recently read about. A consortium of sorts, called 8-bit Operators, have released a record of various cover songs (mostly Kraftwerk) performed entirely on vintage 8-bit handheld video game systems. No, really. www.8bitoperators.com. It's actually pretty listenable, if not ubiquitous. Enjoy.
