Sixty Force

Do you remember the days when musical acts like The Backstreet Boys, The Spice Girls, and Hanson ruled the airwaves? Well if you do then you will remember arguably the best video game system of all time...THE N64! It was a god among men, the be all and end all of modern gaming. At its launch all you needed was $200 to call this baby yours. Well times have changed; some people are quick to forget about such a revolutionary gaming council. Now you can pick up an N64 for less then $30 at any used electronics shop. If you still have a place in your heart for games like Mario Kart 64, Golden Eye, and Legend of Zelda, The Ocarina of Time then you will love this program I stumbled upon called SixtyForce(Link). SixtyForce is considered a Nintendo 64 emulator available only for the Mac. This program can be used to play any N64 game that has been transferred into a ROM file, which is practically EVERY game. All you need is to find a N64 ROM Site(Link) which can easily be found using Google. Now SixtyForce offers one free version and one version costing only 16 bucks. The $16 version allows you to save game progress witch is really nice but the free version is good enough for most games. This program gives you the ability to play all of the classic N64 games for free. To say the least it will make us old nostalgic gamers have wet dreams.

Ratatat (Rat-a-tat)


Alright, I am going to get down to business... RATATAT! These guys are flippin ill! They call themselves an electro band but that is only their exterior. Almost all of their songs are aimed toward the hip hop fan. Of all of there albums my fav is called 9 Beats which is hard to come by cus it was never officially released. If you are able to get your hands on a copy you will come across the best beats to freestyle rap to EVER. No lie. They have simple back tones so the wackiest rapper can sound like the next Biggie but at the same time complex high tones to make the most seasoned rapper satisfied. They have also released 3 studio albums all of them fantastic but it is there two mix tapes that truly make them off the chain. Calibrating with mainstream hip hop artist like Missy Elliot, Jay-Z, and Kanye West shows the versatility of there music. These guys are far from done. On there website they have released a new song, new tour dates, and a new CD due to drop some time in 2009. If you like to call yourself a music connoisseur you must exsplore the music stylings of Ratatat NOW!
