Only on Offworld: preview James Kochalka's Game Boy Advance album 'Digital Elf'
As you may have spotted via his American Elf site, Offworld's Monster Mii and Superf*ckers Review creator James Kochalka has just released his latest Superstar album, Digital Elf, this time with a twist: all 15 songs were composed and performed on his Game Boy Advance in Nanoloop.
This isn't quite your usual chiptune affair, though: if you recall his Offworld-original sexy holiday song for Monster Mii Zex, or his Superf*ckers theme song, you'll know exactly what to expect.
The Digital Elf album's just gone up for sale exclusively at Burlington, VT's Pure Pop, and Kochalka's sent over one track -- the brilliantly self-mythologizing Robot Shark -- for your preview perusal below.
Follow all of Kochalka's exploits and find links to his comics and anthologies at AmericanElf.com, hear more 8-bit Kochalka with this sloopygoop remix, The Golden Booger (!), and see more live music performances from Giant Robot's recent exhibition.

I would totally buy this if it were available as a download, but I'm not buying cds anymore. Writing the store now to encourage them to offer an mp3 option.

RE: DOCTOR POPULAR
I am now solely buying non-downloadable because many places either don't tell you what kind of audio quality you can expect when you buy and/or don't possess the same discerning sense of audio encoder artifacts that the customer does.
BUT!.. chip-tunes are exactly the kind of song that work well with lots of lossy codecs even at low bandwidths.
RE: Brandon Boyer
Man, I hate to rain on the picnic, but "self-mythologizing?" That might be true if awkward and apparently arbitrary figures (of many various sorts) weren't a dime a dozen. Everyone and their mom's got "ONE SHOT" of some abrupt, attention grabbing, and superficially weird glimpse into these cheap, "random" creations.
Don't get me wrong, I like the cheap, "random" sense of humor. But self-mythologizing? Nah.
