It’s that time of year, fellow music geeks, and I have a treat for you!
Child’s Play, a “gamer charity” founded by the guys behind Penny Arcade, has raised millions of dollars to give toys, books, and games to kids in children’s hospitals worldwide.
I’m proud to announce that they’ve just released the 2008 Charity CD, featuring heroes and friends like Armcannon, Anamanaguchi, Jonathan Coulton, and Freezepop. I’m on there too, with a brand new chiptune, and having heard the whole CD I can tell you it’s worth way more than $10 — a great stocking stuffer for the nerd in your life, and all proceeds go straight to the charity!
The whole thing was put together by my Bro4Lyfe, the inimitable, inexorable Mustin, and he’s put up demo snippets at OneUp Studios. Go! Enjoy! And whether or not you celebrate a holiday, may you be happy and healthy!
Holy shit, Jake! I didn’t know you were hiding out at a new website.
I am way drunk right now but I don’t need to be drunk to tell you that I miss you, and I wish you’d lived near NYC longer. :(
awww.
No shit, I’ve been checking your vgmix site looking for updates on you. You gotta keep me up to date baby! Miss talkin to you!
Sorrrryyyy! My whole world has been in flux with the new employment and new puppy and same-but-enhanced-with-new-ring wife. I miss you too, the both of youse. Maybe I can still come out there for Fagoween.
And yeah, I’m glad I got this site finished before MAGfest — Hopefully the VGMix server won’t implode again while I’m on vacation. If it does, now I have this fallback hosting.
Too cool! I ordered a copy of the disc, hoping agianst hope it’ll show up before christmas to give to Anne. If not, I may not be able to save this relationship.
No, I’m just kidding. We’re solid. And this CD looks to be the event of the season! Freezepop and Jonathan Coulton and YOU and MUSTIN all on one disc! Un-precedented!
MAGfest is creeping up, homefry. This year, I’ll be bringing enough chloroform to take an ibex down! And I WILL! And sweet video game sculptures and stuff. So don’t forget to drop by. Or I might come hunting for you, Mr. Montage.
Oh and nice website
Hey Jake, love the new site, and tons of tracks I havnt heard yet. This charity cd is a great idea, im gonna order a copy as soon as i post this. Also a couple of people from 8bit collective are looking to play shows in your tri-state area, it would be awesome to see you out rocking it.
just got the Child’s Play CD. It’s absolutely awesome! And I haven’t even finished listening to it!
Yo,
Is it possible to buy this digitally anywhere? I searched but couldn’t find it. I’d pay for mp3′s :)

Hey nice information. I will surely come back.
