RC 248: 8-Bit Music Machine
In the 1980′ and 90’s I like most of my friends spent many hours programming, creating rudimentary digital pictures (I had a mouse for my Spectrum!), playing games and trying to get something vaguely musical from said microcomputers.

Shot through the head – giving Love a bad name (Necrophilia Hero 5)
Digging up Kurt for the $$$ and allowing a virtual Kurt (Kurtual?) to rap Public Enemy, sing Bon Jovi, Megadeth, Stevie Wonder, Bush (ugh), Bowie (‘Fame’ at the end seems very prescient) is Guitar Hero 5. Shame Leonard Cohen has more sense than to license his songs otherwise ‘A Singer Must Die’ would be most…
