An Interview with Peter Berkman from Anamanaguchi

Nintendo on the Radio

During today’s episode of “Headphones Are Stethoscopes”, my weekly radio show at the College of William & Mary, I posted a quick plug on Twitter to let my listeners know we were featuring music from bands showcased at SXSW.

I was pleasantly surprised when I got a reply from Peter Berkman, a member of Anamanaguchi, who apologetically self-promoted by requesting one of his own songs since they had just returned from playing SXSW. I promised him we’d play one of his songs if he let me interview him on the show. Deal!

The discussion ranged from learning about the basics of the “chiptune” and “bitpop” music scene to an in-depth analysis of fair use and intellectual property law. For more details, check out my blog.

I usually interview my grandparents on the radio show, so this was very interesting. Thanks, Peter! You were an excellent guest. Now, if anybody else is reading this, want me to interview you next week?

Groovy lil interview we did right after SXSW.
