Reformat the Planet: documentary about the Chiptune scene

Until the Bubblyfish clip, I thought, "So this is a movie about people who suck at chiptunes."

I will be the old guy, and point out that folks were making chiptunes in the 80's and early 90's on Amigas and Atari STs and C64s...and most of these guys seem wholly unaware of that history, and are showing their musical immaturity because of it (i.e., they're still at the "Hey, look, I made music with this cranky little thing!" phase).

Nonetheless, I'm fond of chiptunes, and I'm amused to see that in NY, pretty much anything novel can collect a "scene". Obviously, these sounds are going to find their way into popular music in the near future. Though they'll be assimilated rather than take over--just like electronica and punk rock.

I grew up with MSX. I never really made music on it though, that started later on PC. But anyways, loads of MSX nostalgia lead to this: http://zwizwa.be/staapl/sheep

Is it just me, or do the people waving their fists and getting all excited about tinny blips comming from a Gameboy look utterly ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, it's cool in a sort of hackish way, but worth a scene?
