Unicorn Kid - Boys Of Paradise

Chiptune - a genre of music that sounds like being a child again and playing your gameboy while on LSD and ecstasy simultaneously.

That is the Webster’s Dictionary definition. Look it up. There was something I wanted to say here… oh right! Happy 2012, everyone! I chose tonight’s song based on an experience I had earlier this week. Now when I say experience I mean it in the “earbuds in place, iPod on loud, eureka moment” sense. This song took me from an emotion I could only describe as miserable to one that was basically like being a child again and playing my Gameboy while on LSD and ecstasy simultaneously. Go figure that when I looked up chiptune I would find such a fitting definition.

Anyway, I want to start Soundboard off nicely this year. I just looked back through our archives to see what my first post of 2011 was (it wasn’t one of my greatest choices so I’m choosing not to link to it) and it’s so great seeing those posts by me and my fellow panelists again. So here’s to the year 2012: a year that rolls off of the tongue much better than 2011!
