via create digital music and 8bit collective. it seems like crystal castle have been using an entire song by some chiptune artist.
but read for yourself...

ps calling crystal castles hipsters is sort of an insult to hipsters... I hate people who call other people "poseurs," but ....

you'll never see me or hear me talking bad about other artist as i normally reverse my thoughts, but in this case:
Crystal Castles, i hope you become very successful, make enough money to fuel your cocaine habits, and then... *poof* disappear... (but maybe even that may be fake... sheeeesh...)

i would find it less offensive if, say Eric Clapton was ripping off chiptunes, honestly

they're a popular 'electronic' group from toronto. we don't have much to be proud of up here in toronto and nobody ever notices us. and then crystal castles came along, the crzy new super popular band from toronto. and then everybody started hating them. thanks. A. LOT. guys. jeeze.

Honestly, I kind of liked the album when I first heard it (based on the pretense they where some sort of genuine crossover chiptune such and such), but now they can just go fuck themselvez. I think the offense is less in the gratuitous "sampling", and more in the whole "I'm so cool, I modify Ataris n' shit" myth they throw out there.
I highly doubt that even 10% of their fan base will even care about this incident, as messed up as it is. Kids these days... what are you going to do...

And, not content with just Failing by stealing music, they stole a guy's artwork too, for years. link (linked to from CDM)

I hear you minisystem.
I keep being disappointed that negative stereotypes of Toromto keep coming true in front of my eyes, especially when I'm trying to tell someone that it's not that bad...
Obviously it's not everyone, but sadly it is all too common that Toronto-haters get something to feed them.
