From videogame orchestra's Castlevania-esque remake of Island in the Sun, to nordloef's euro-chip-disco remix of Buddy Holly, to Anamanaguchi, Tugboat and Bit Shifter's typically excellent showings, the awesomeness of Pterodactyl Squad's just-released 8-bit Weezer cover compilation album basically speaks for itself.

The tracklist:

1. Island In The Sun (Belmont's Revisal) - videogame orchestra
2. Holiday - Anamanaguchi
3. El Scorcho - Tugboat
4. The World Has Turned And Left Me Here - Bit Shifter
5. You Won't Get With Me Tonight - PDF Format
6. Hash Pipe - seal of quality
7. In The Garage - OxygenStar
8. You Gave Your Love To Me Softly - :(
9. We Are All On Drugs - Rabato
10. Jamie - Unicorn Dream Attack
11. Come To My Pod - Mahamajama
12. Why Bother? - I Fight Dragons
13. Buddy Holly - nordloef
14. I Do - arcadecoma.

And it's free, and you should just go get it now. [via crashfaster]

Going in I thought this would sound terrible.. but I must admit I actually like it.

It's not really "8 bit", it's more like the original songs arranged with a bunch of 8 bit instruments, but it sounds so good I'll let them get away with it. ;)

I don't get it. How is it NOT "8bit" if its songs arranged with a bunch of 8bit instruments? That's what "8bit" is.

P.S. I'm in love with Bit Shifter's and PDF Format's covers. Mind blowing.
