I have totally given up on buying music. I don't go around stealing it, it's just that there's a lot of people out there who are making great tunes are willing to share them for free. It's for the love of the art or something important-sounding like that. Today, Kotaku Tower got an email from lad in Ireland who writes:

I'm part of a wee small music collective from Ireland... (O)ne of our "artists" who goes by the moniker of KickAcid has taken a bunch of gameboy cartridges, plugged them into to his sampler, [bleeped] around a bit and made the seven minute magnum opus of a videogame theme nostalga fest that is "Computer Lame".

Those Irish have such potty mouths! In any case, I took a listen to it and I think it is worth the free download. Why? Well, on top of the fact I liked it (I would sneak it into a dinner party playlist for fun), you could also pull some of those fantastic Gameboy sounds yourself without all that nasty '.m4p' encoding.
