		<description><![CDATA[Busdriver&#8217;s Beaus$Eros is unlike anything ever previously recorded by man, beast, or chillwaver. It can be called rap music—if only because Busdriver&#8217;s previous stylings landed it there. It could also be some sort of post-R &#038; B rap, although the formula of rap + singing always yields Drake—or Drake-esque offshoots; this does not sound like [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I started writing this piece by proposing a hypothesis which essentially said that bands like O&#8217;Death and Siskiyou—really cool bands that made really weird folk records in 2011—were unconsciously responding to the least-folky yet most popular folk artist of 2011, Justin Vernon/Bon Iver. While I&#8217;m still fairly satisfied with that idea, I don&#8217;t care for [...]]]></description>

She was a few years older and allowed to have the videogames my parents never let me play. Christmas Eve meant being with family, but mostly it meant playing SNES or N64: MarioKart, Yoshi’s Story, Sonic the Hedgehog. Excuse me as I wax nostalgic, but as I go on you’ll see that chiptune music, and 8-bit culture as a whole, is all about nostalgia.]]></description>
