Sometimes as a blogger you don't even try to top someone else's description. They just aced it in one:

Conquer the Video Craze was issued in 1982, at the height of arcade games' popularity. Over a background of ambient arcade noise, Curtis Hoard, "Atari Champion finalist", reads convoluted game tips in a slow nasal monotone.

The album itself was sampled in the Beastie Boys' on To The 5 Boroughs but you can listen to the whole delightfully sad-sack thing over at Dinosaur Gardens. FLORIAN ECKHARDT
