8-Bit Homies Are Dissing Your Girl

Video game music netlabel Pterodactyl Squad revealed that it is putting together a chiptune tribute to Weezer, enlisting a crew of micromusic notables to cover the alternative rock group's hits, like "Why Bother?" and "El Scorcho". They're even making a chiptune version of "Jamie", my favorite track from the DGC Rarities, Vol. 1 album (other than Teenage Fanclub's "Mad Dog 20/20").

You can see the upcoming album's cover art by David Mauro and full tracklist, which features artists like Anamanaguchi and Tugboat, after the break. You can also download an MP3 version of PDF Format's "You Won't Get With Me Tonight" video above at 8-Bit Collective.
