good to hear you guys are pushing out some more music, looking forward to it!

but while you're here, may i make a suggestion to tone down the heavy-handed exclamations, asterisks, shouting, tired memephrases, bluster and general noise?  i'm sorry but every time i read anything promoted by you, good lord, it's like i want to dive headfirst into a wall of nails.  i can't be the only one who feels this way.

it's a shame because the compilations are otherwise pretty good (it's shocking how many people were involved) and deserve more attention, but that potential is sabotaged by the immature presentation in my opinion.

i'm not saying to rid your language of the passion that you clearly have (which is great) but as a favour to the general public, try cutting down on the gimmicky brotalk at least a LITTLE bit, come on!

Don't say that, last time someone had the gall to give them constructive criticism, they got absolutely slated on facebook.

(inb4 they class this as 'hating' and start saying 'H8RZ GON H8 LEL!!111')

Just write shitty music and call it "Chip Thrash", people won't notice.

I listened to this on 9/11 - it seemed apt.

My only concern is the breakdowns aren't even close to being brutal enough, plus there weren't enough breakdowns.

Plus the kick drums need to be so brutal they kick me in the face. LITERALLY

I've realised I need a spare pro-sounded Game Boy for shows, after a particularly awful show experience.

I already have a clear blacklight DMG, what I need is for one of you magical soldery types to add a pro sound to it! RCA cables would be nice, top or bottom preferred (It will be for live shows, so it will need to be placed on a table). However, either top or bottom is fine, whatever is easiest for you.

How much would this set me back? UK preferred, due to postage costs of sending/returning the Game Boy.

tl:dr - can u prosound my DMG plz

Highlights of the trip:

* Buying the shittiest burger at a Motorway Service Station for £4.99 - it was worse than a van burger :(
* Hanging out on my own in Camden Market
* Buying a CD I wanted for £2 (brand new + sealed!)
* Within five minutes of meeting Stevens, having a woman shout abuse at no-one in particular in the middle of the street and had a gang of lads throw a ball of Garlic(?) at us
* Not being able to find the train station
* Finding the train station
* Going into a 98p shop, purchasing an item (Bicycle puncture kit), have it be priced £1 - I felt ripped off
* Buying an Ice Cream at Sainsbury's (I wanted a Feast, but it was battered, so opted for the Strawberry Cornetto - classic)
* Stevens promising that Stoke Newington was full of hipster types, only to spot approximately no hipster types.
* Walking past the bar
* Going into the bar
* Matt Nida starting pretty much as soon as we arrived
* Drinking way too many beers
* Everyone killing it live
* Me finding out my Casio watch was fake :(
* Me finding out my fake Casio watch changes colour - miles better than the original version! :)
* Hanging outside afterwards
* Shirobon joining us after the show had ended OUT OF NOWHERE
* Everyone laughing at my shitty ghetto non-business cards (although someone did add me on facebook afterwards, so they worked!)
* The train/night bus being surprisingly quick + effective + empty
* Sleeping surrounded by a few dozen Casio + various other keyboards
* Stevens having a cupboard full of Mini-Weetabix (the chocolate ones)
* Spotting one of the dudes from the show the next day - in the middle of Bromley, no less.
* On the coach back home, sitting in front of a guy playing shitty music on his phone
* No-one deciding to do anything because his phone call conversations were about acquaintances going to prison
* Cute girls getting on the coach at the last stop, ended up inadvertently surrounded by them - notbad.
* Didn't do anything about it
* Got home safe and sound

A++, would attend again - plz moar shows, Akira + crew.

Absolutely incredible gig - 10/10 would bang, everyone killed it, crowd was awesome, staff (especially sound guy) were fantastic, the venue's sound system is the best in Liverpool, awesome show, roll on ChipFest 8, aw shit son it was awesome!

Also post-show kebabs were r8 good, and approved by the UK chip crew.

Sorry to inform you that an-cat-max will not be playing tomorrow, due to travel issues. We're really sorry about this, and hope he can make it next time! (...unless any Scottish fans are driving down and can fit another in their car?)

Good god. Despite having got back from London yesterday, gone to Durham today, and going to analog attacks weds, then Budapest next Saturday, I feel I have not attended enough awesome stuff this week or year. The real question is: do I come to this, or superbyte?!! Any cats from out of town staying in hostels/ got digs?

BOTH, IF POSSIBLE.

IF NOT POSSIBLE, THIS ONE.
