When it comes to classic rock albums, very few things come close to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Created in two sessions in 1972 and 1973, DSotM was Pink Floyd's 6th album. It was one of the concept albums that basically defines Pink Floyd as a group and as a rock legend and icon. The other album filling that role would be The Wall.

Wikipedia says this: "The Dark Side of the Moon was an immediate success, topping the Billboard 200 for one week. It subsequently remained in the charts for 741 weeks from 1973 to 1988, longer than any other album in history. With an estimated 45 million copies sold, it is Pink Floyd's most commercially successful album and one of the best-selling albums worldwide. It has twice been remastered and re-released, and has been covered by several other acts. It spawned two singles, "Money" and "Us and Them". In addition to its commercial success, The Dark Side of the Moon is one of Pink Floyd's most popular albums among fans and critics, and is frequently ranked as one of the greatest rock albums of all time."

Canadian game programmer Brad Smith has now remastered the classic album in 8 bit Nintendo Style. Released as Moon8, Brad's album is the entire Dark Side of the Moon album, from Speak to Me all the way to Brain Damage/Eclipse, done in 8 bit computerized music.

Enjoy some of it here and visit Brad's website or YouTube channel to experience the whole album. (There's no video, music only, so I've flattened them here for space)

I found the link to this this morning on the forums and had to share the bizarre creation that is the Samsonadzeebis. It plays, but you may need to let it sit for a few to buffer.
(EDIT: Apparently, there are some problems with the embedded player, but the direct link still works)

HAHAHAH! True awesome from the Internet.

Another fusillade in the battle against the mind-bending inanity that is Twilight. From the poorly written books to the horrible movies that not only rape everything that is Vampire but also anally fist intelligence and common sense, the whole Twilight thing makes my mind hurt and my skin crawl, not to mention making me throw up in my mouth just a little bit.

Finally, however, one man is taking a stand, and trying to save humanity from this blight on all that is right in the world.
