Mon, 25 Feb 2013 17:00:49 -0500

In the early to mid 70’s, the world was introduced to a revolution that was on the way to cause a multimedia tidal wave.

In just a few short years, the lives of millions would be forever changed. This revolution didn’t make us sing. It didn’t make us dance. It didn’t make us do anything but see the world in a different way: a square.

With the 8-bit video game “PONG,” a new generation of people found a form of entertainment, a lifestyle. These squared graphics on an old tube television became as popular as a football.

The word “8-bit” is a description of the computing, graphing power early computers had. The ability to display squared graphics.

Today, “8-bit” is a technology long gone but certainly not forgotten.

Block x Blog is a celebration, a nostalgic trip back to the brick-layed mushroom kingdom of old. It’s a celebration of all things analog, of a culture, the “8-bit” culture, and a world that helped us celebrate the birth of characters like Bowser, Solid Snake, and the Rubix Cube. That’s right, the Rubix Cube. It’s a celebration for anyone that struggled to save Princess Peach, anyone who despised the smirking dog who chased after the ducks you shot in Duck Hunt, the barrel jumpers, the Excitebike riders, the cartridge blowersm, and the Konami coders. More than a celebration, Block x Blog is a collection of artists, musicians, and people: people who remember how pure the sound off an old record is and people who secretly wished to be one of the kids in “Weird Science.” It’s a collection of people who thought it was hip to be square.

So, as I write this on a nice 256 pixel per square inch display, let’s re-live these moments. Let’s beat King Hippo. Let’s listen to Dr. Mario beat the bacteria in our medicine bottles. Let’s listen to this world that still lives in all of us through the sound of a needle and wax coming together. Let’s remember the memories they brought us. Let’s continue to live through them, and let’s remember that up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, SELECT, START, will get you anywhere in life.

Since their first album release in July and live performances all around South Florida in the past few years, Arboles Libres have created a big following and buzz. This Spanish language, indie-rock group has played slots in SXSW, CMJ, and was even named Miami New Times’ Best Songwriters in 2011.

So catch them doing a free set at Park Ave CDs this Saturday at 6PM and RSVP on the Facebook event here.
