This is the BleepCast on Rob Hubbard, part two. Everything you want to know about the man that taught the Commodore 64 to produce grand sound-scapes and catchy tunes amidst the incoherent 8-bit turds coated with incompetence in the early 80′s. We will hear his later music, hear him talk about his time in the US and why he eventually came back. Don’t miss it!

Two words that describe this and the next BleepCast: Rob Hubbard. The man that taught the Commodore 64 to produce grand sound-scapes and catchy tunes amidst the incoherent 8-bit turds coated with incompetence in the early 80′s. This level is huge, so it’s clipped into two. And you better stock up on extra lives and get ready to enjoy Hubbard’s music, hear Hubbard’s voice and lean about the man in a tenaciously researched podcast. This is part one.

The BleepCast inspects covers, remixes and de-makes of our favorite tunes in the last 30 years in this level and asks how everything started, how it evolved and where it all went. This is a broad topic and so there’s no screwing around: This BleepCast hits you massively with 50 minutes of pure nerdsound, spoken and played alike. And the best of all: You’ll love it! I’m happy, Bob!

This all new episode of the BleepCast deals with gamifications of great movie scores. If you were already alive in the 80′s, going to the movies or just watching classic flicks from the 80′s on your VCR you probably had once the urge to become Indiana Jones, Marty McFly or Luke Skywalker yourself. Then you just had to go out (yes, I know, that’s the hardest part in the life of a nerd) and get yourself one of the games that had licensed movie content among them, and usually some crappy game as well. Although sometimes you would be surprised by actually real good games…

I like Flattr. I like the idea of it: Flatter people with a click that is the digital equivalent of a coin ringing in a tip-jar. And for some reason it became customary to blog about how much you made past month. You get tipped, and you tip yourself. It’s social. No surprise: It’s from Sweden. They compare it to having a piece of birthday cake and giving a slice to everybody you want to flatter. The more people you flattr, the smaller the slices get. At the end of the month it’s payday: Everyone on Flattr empties their jars and counts the coins. There are people who had an income of more than 500 €, the are many more people who had about 10 € by the end of the day. And now I am going to spill the beans myself.

I made 1.07 €. Plus taxes.
For a Web 2.0 thingie that's still in beta I'm rather surprised by that. In fact I made 90% of that the first day after I signed up with Flattr. The rest of the month was spent by posting creative stuff I did to Flattr, hoping some people would enjoy my music,

There it is, what you haven’t been waiting for ever since: The BleepCast podcast is all about chip-music, retro gaming and memories from the good old times when we all were young and begun having no life, instead indulging in shitty games with shitty music, or as we call it: “Classics with epic soundtracks”. So if you want me to take you back to the past to play the shitty games that suck ass, then you just discovered your favorite podcast!
