Move over Wayne Coyne, you’ve not got the sole rights to re-appropriate Pink Floyd’s ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ for the weird kids. Video game programmer Brad Smith, straight-outta-Ontario, has given the teenage stoner favourite an upgrade, to 8-bit. He’s covered the entire album on his NES console. Love that crunch? Then check out the entire album HERE.

Weezer: The 8 Bit Album
If you’re a regular reader, you may remember that we previously published a piece on Chiptune music HERE, or more correctly ‘Chip Music’ as some Needle Nose decided to let us know. If not, here’s the dillio. Chip Music is a genre where super-geeks bang out very sweet music on a succession of obsolete 8-Bit games consoles. Think Gameboy’s and Nes’, that kinda old school boxy stuff. It’s really cool, very heartwarming and predominantly without pretention.
Anyway, chip music net label Pterodactyl Squad (a bunch of super swell guys who specialise in releasing free video game inspired music) have produced a compilation where Chiptuners like Bit Shifter, Seal of Quality, Unicorn Dream Attack and Arcadecoma have covered an albums worth of tunes by ultimate geek garage rockers Weezer.
If you’re fan of the band, like me, you’ll absolutely shit bricks. It’s awesome! Awesome and Free! You can download it now as a whole or by individual tracks. If you’re going for a taster before committing, I recommend ‘The World Has Turned and Left Me Here’ or ‘Holiday’. Perhaps, if this is aurally pleasing to you, you may explore the rest of the Pterodactyl Squad free back catalogue?
