Attention GenXers: there’s a new way to tickle your nostalgia bone that doesn’t involve watching VH1 I Love The ‘90s reruns. Enter Weezer – The 8-bit Album, a free covers compilation released by netlabel Pterodactyl Squad, which features songs by yesteryear’s favourite nerd-chic rockers recast using the same blips and bleeps your Game Boy used to make during all those sleepless Tetris sessions. Boasting a first-rate lineup of today’s brightest chiptunes maestros (including Toronto’s own PDF Format), the album’s been making big waves across the interwebs, banking mentions on numerous widely read blogs (including Weezer’s).
