Do not try adjusting your computer monitor. That is in fact a magenta-haired woman riding a pterodactyl and she is playing an electric guitar. If that's not talent, then you're obviously in need of some visual psychotherapy. (Check out our
Girls of Maxim galleries for our prescribed medicine.)
The above logo is for the
Pterodactyl Squad, a video game music netlabel, who have put out their first album: a compilation of
Weezer songs played in the key of N—as in
Nintendo.
Some of the Web's best
chiptunes extraordinaires have, for the lack of a better phrase, chipped in their mastery of video game hardware, helping to create an album that'll make you want to take the bus to Chinatown, walk into that shady "fish market" that sells black market goods in the basement, and plunk down a C-note for an original NES.
But, we digress. The netlabel is maintained by
Ross Murdoch and
Joe Allen, drummer for the video game rock band
Spheres of Chaos. On the site, Allen writes: "Do you remember that dream you had, where the sound chips from the beloved games consoles of your youth all got together and formed a Weezer tribute band? Yeah? No? OK. That dream is about to come true whether you had it or not."
The songs
can be had for the low, low price of $0.00. That's right,
free. Go to it, unemployed masses.
