If somewhere in your black heart you pine for folk songs about asteroid-based slave camps at Christmas, whimsical verses exploring the infinite of the cosmos, electro packed lyrics concerning green leather jackets starting the new revolution and rap detailing the musings of taxi drivers in the 25th century? Get Back To 8-bit can solve all these problems. As well as providing the tunes, Gerald (and his sporadic collection of part time co-hosts) will keep you up to date on fandom and geek-worthy news stories from the farthest reaches of the planet to keep your urges satisfied whilst immediately spouting prophetic warnings of the forthcoming robotic revolution and how to properly take down any future threat with the nearest killamajig thereafter.

Get Back To 8-bit // 18.03.10 // You Can Write This Shit, But You Can't Say It.
How am I wasting your time on Get Back To 8-bit this week? I have news that'll send you to an early grave, info on a spaceship that can make you climax in less than 12 parsecs, I further comment on the destruction of whatever dignity Michael Jackson's career had (can't leave this alone) and tell you why art is dead and who aborted it. In addition, the playlist this week has a galaxy spanning selection of music in reference to that there Star Wars thing. It's gonna be good, so listen in or download the show @ 14:00, Thursday the 18th March on subcity.org!

Get Back To 8-bit // 18.03.10 // You Can Write This Shit, But You Can't Say It.
I'm avoiding any "Long Time Ago" humour here and keeping it as real as a white kid from a somewhat middle class upbringing can do. This week's Get Back To 8-bit will refrain from raising any bullshit midichlorian count when I broadcast a selection of songs about the Star Wars universe. Try not to get too bogged down by the nerdery this Thursday @ 14:00, won't you?

From what animal did the radioactive tongue come that gave this girl her incredible power?

If I 'released my spirit' into a glass and sold it online, how much would I make?

I should get a prize for consistently finding the only non-racist stories in the Daily Mail of the day:
