Finally, a Noise Channel episode that TrueStar can archive!  Sorry we’ve been podcast silent for the past few weeks.  We don’t usually archive listening parties and due to the severe stream issues during the NoiseChan album show, nothing was recorded.

So here you are, an episode that blends new music with old!  TrueStar also talks about the Ultimate Chiptune Weekend Kickstarter.  Check it out and help them reach their goal!

PS:  NoiseChan & Nugget: Adventures in Chiptunes has raised $2,091 for the Child’s Play charity since its release date.  Thank you everyone!

Tracklist of Robokabuto's 'Notes ZeroPage' album

Tracklist of Robokabuto’s ‘Notes ZeroPage’ album

TrueStar recently acquired a small stack of Japanese chiptune albums from Jeriaska over at Nubuwo.  She fell in love with Robokabuto’s album titled ‘Notes ZeroPage’ – twelve tracks of chiptune arrangements.

Tonight she dedicates the show to this album and throws in a new TQ-Jam track and some hally in for good measure.  In lieu of a playlist, TrueStar took a photo of the album.  Many of the tracks are in Japanese.  If anyone out there could translate them, please let us know!

If you like what you heard tonight, let Robokabuto know on Twitter!

**The two other tracks played tonight are ‘Super Surgeon’ by hally and ‘Plum Pop’ by TQ-Jam Continue reading »

TrueStar is back from MAGFest and vacation with the family.  Nugget is back from his five star hotel sporting a classy kerchief around his neck.  Producer Jake went right back to work and is moving his studio as we speak.  We’re happy to be back!

Yesterday TrueStar drove around town all day helping Jake move.  She shares the music she heard in the car during her travels, mixed in with some new tunes. Continue reading »

Today is Janette’s birthday.  Janette is TrueStar’s friend from New Jersey and was her very first co-host during one of the first episodes of Noise Channel.  She joined the listeners in the chat room and a good time was had by all.

This episode is dedicated to Janette.  Happy Birthday! Continue reading »

This episode makes the first year of Noise Channel being on the air!  To celebrate, TrueStar gave away a couple of the Ubiktune bundles.  Nugget picked the winners while Producer Jake made snarky comments in the background.  TrueStar also started babbling about chemistry…again.

The three of us would like to thank our listeners for being a part of Noise Channel.  Whether you’re a long time listener or have recently started tuning in, we are grateful that you enjoy what we do.  If we’ve introduced you to a new chiptune artist, made you laugh, or have an illogical love for puggles, we’ve done our job.  Noise Channel is not Noise Channel without you!

Nugget enjoys the fourth round of his very own award show from the comfort of his luxury donut bed.  TrueStar plays tracks from this round’s artists and proves that video games with futa girls have the best chiptune music.

You can vote in this week’s round here. Continue reading »

Unfortunately Producer Jake couldn’t be here this week and Nugget was fast asleep, but TrueStar carried on with a brand new episode of Noise Channel!  The show was split up between new music and tracks from each of the artists up for voting this week in Nugget’s Choice.

Make sure to vote this week here.  Voting will be open until July 26th.

We would like to know if the listeners would prefer a show like this next week (one half Nugget’s Choice, the other half  chiptunes from various artists) or a show totally dedicated to the remaining Nugget’s Choice artists.  Please comment and let us know! Continue reading »

TrueStar almost didn’t make it in time to host the show.  She was out in the field during research for a science project and the professor locked the keys in the vehicle.  Luckily she was with a team of engineers who created some shade with some tarp, rope, and the side of the vehicle.  The takeaway message:  never lock your keys in your car in the middle of the summer desert in the afternoon.

TrueStar, now with an amazing sunburn, returned home in time to do a regular Noise Channel show.  There were a couple of giveaways (thanks Burnkit2600 and Aethernaut) and a special block of some of her favorite Japanese chiptune artists. Continue reading »
