    Has a bit of a Talking Heads and Lou Reed vibe.

    "Screw this newer technology"? Ironic, since SoundCloud is NOT
    8-bit! :D

    But I get it. It's about this 8-bit Dude who laments the modern
    and wants the good ol'days back.

    But.. would you necessarily want to use a rotary phone and a
    wired landline, or be limited to a 2400bps modem and dotmatrix
    printers?

    Do you have a lyric sheet for the song? I couldn't make out
    everything.

    probably not limited like back then, but man - it was SO cool and SO new.... I remember being 14 or 15 and just fascinated at the possibilities.

    everything.

    Will post after the holiday!
