Run for Cover No. 2 | Multimedia-Cover-Artworks are the appropriate format for virtual music-releases.

While doing some research for the Random-review, I stumbled upon the expanded video accompany of the bygone Blip Festivals. The festival is hosted and organized by New York City’s finest 8bit Peoples Netlabel and gets together the world elite of chip sound since 2006 (not sure about that).
