Come tour the city of sound with me from around the world! On this tour you will hear some hard chips, some soft chips, and all that resides in between. I like&#8217;em both, I think -at least this time- you will too. Though don&#8217;t forget there is always a bit of party time left on the tour.<\/p>\n<p>Featuring songs from Louie Aronwitz&#8217;s album Thrashlevania; coda&#8217;s Cloudtop Mountain; and The Midnight&#8217;s Nocturnal and many others! This is the sort of music that clubs and bars of the future will rock out and lounge to. These are the songs that will get your heart pumping and put your mind at ease.<\/p>\n<p>The chips are such tiny things that can disappear into the palm of your hand; but with a few complex commands, the world of sound opens up and crafts a city sprawl so wide that the tour will always hear fresh sounds and new vistas every night all night. So come with me, grab some chips, and let us see if we can make this city a bit bigger. Though first, let&#8217;s tour about a while.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tour Itinerary:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>First Stop:<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;Part I&#8221; by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rgmuse\"><em>Smoochyface\u00a0<\/em><\/a>off the album The Cracks Are Where the Light Shines Brightest<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hard Chip District:<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;IRQ 0 SYSTEM CLOCK&#8221;
