So, normally I would save this for an epic link post (that is coming someday, I swear), but I really dug the above graphic and found the project enthralling. Some 8-bit music artists / jazz enthusiasts have blasphemed and created a bare-bones electronic version of Miles Davis's Kind of Blue. It's called, cleverly, Kind of Bloop, and you can listen to samples at that link. It really is an inventive step, not just a cheesy muzak / elevator music excursion, and while I won't be listening to it in the original's stead, it's cool to feel what hearing seminal music filtered through a disparate medium does to you. Check it.
