You missed my tribute to you :'( *pours one out for facundo*

This was a stunning show. 8static hasn't had a single misfire yet, IMO. I just wish the Philly crowds danced a little more! Particular shout-outs go to exileFaker, his stuff was brilliant and sounded even better on the new system.

I don't know what you see as "chip community", but it seems like a very, very small subset of the actual global, real life scene, to make that statement.

In response to you and PlainFlavored, I should have clarified: I meant the Message Board/IRC community, mostly. I mean, half the people I see in these kinds of threads are definitely living in glass houses. Also to be clear: I don't think PlainFlavored is a glass-house dweller.

And yeah, the "real life" scene has been completely different for me. Everyone has been exceedingly friendly, supportive, and helpful. And that's only what I've seen on the East Coast of the US, it doesn't include the incredibly large global community that I've never experienced.

I should have made that clear, but I'm not going to include that disclaimer in every single post ever made on this forum, even though it's applicable in almost every single post ever made on this forum.

Ah, so the idea is that most people think that they're self-congratulatory, sometimes sarcastic assholes? In other words, they're like 90% of the chip music community, except people actually want to listen to their tunes?

So, why are people making fun of these guys again? I'm not up on the latest scene memes.

Unfortunately tenfold won't be able to make it this time around. Fucking cancelled flights!

I'll be filling in for the gentleman. I won't have a super hot girl with words taped to her clothing as I sing over some awesome noise, but I promise I will provide a whole 'nother kind of noise that will be fun to be a part of and you might find it awesome in its own right.

Yeah, I've actually been listening to this all week. Very good release, I'm excited for more and I'm disappointed more people don't seem to be checking this out!

I'm up in there.

Didn't know what to expect from this, as I'd been unfamiliar with your stuff. I enjoy this release, and I can say that I really, REALLY like the first  two tracks. I expect to be listening to this release quite a bit this week.

I don't know if this next criticism is more about me not being familiar with you or a statement about you as a musician, but I don't feel I get a real sense of style from you in terms of your synthesis. That doesn't take away from the fact that the tunes themselves are quality work, but it's something to consider as you keep developing. I'm looking forward to hearing more from you!
