Dr. Zilog, Malevolent Necropolis



I've been listening to the latest cd by Dr. Zilog, Malevolent Necropolis. It's free to download on his myspace blog. It's a death medal odyssey using 8-bit sounds and common 8-Bit video game themes with at least one Sealab 2021 reference and plenty of 8-bit thrashing. 12 tracks, 32:42 hours and minutes long. I'm not a music critic but I know rhetorical devices, humor, sarcasm, and good video game music, though, in this case, curiously without the video game. Likely too intense for any games we play unlike the demonically-programmed arcade deathfest this album would demand.

Yes, Dr. Zilog, MySpace for the fail. Might I suggest some other webhosting service? My musician friend assures me that MySpace is a necessity in today's music culture, especially electronica, but there has to be something better and less annoying.

Youtube! It must be done!

I just recently got an account over at Last.fm and that definitely seems like a good place for musicians to get more exposure these days too.

I'll tell ya, I wish we had it back in the early to mid 90's when I was playing in bands. Back then you had to take demo tapes of your stuff to different clubs basically door to door and hope for the best. Although at the end we got wise and had someone w/ a trapper keeper start taking names for a mailing list at / during the shows haha.

Yeah, you kids are lucky is what I mean to say :p
