though being carded and hopping the sub with Jake, Damon, Alex, and Failotron = pretty chill.

That actually sounds cooler than the after party.

Unless you live in New York, you can't play Blip twice. This means I'll probably have to get a time machine if I ever want to see Stu in America...

They've had emergency replacements who have played Blip twice now though... I will break the legs of as many 2011 performers as I have to in order to see Stu and The J. Arthur Keenes Band again. Or 2006 performers I never got to see like Quarta330.


Haha I wasn't gonna be the first to post a list, but since it's already begun...

SIEVERT (+ Dr. Szliszka?)
cTrix
Bondage Fairies
Electric Children
Yerzmyey
Dispyz

Four of those were on my wish list from last year. I have to admit that I'm not all up to date on recent chip releases. Looking forward to Blip introducing me to some new stuff.

Droidsound plays MODs, SIDs, and NSFs, among other things. They have a beta update on their site that plays SNDHs too!
XMP is another android MOD player, but it doesn't do AHXs. Droidsound does.

There is an Amiga emulator called UAE4Droid (which I have not tested yet), and also some NES and Game Boy emulators. I think I remember seeing Apple IIe and ZX Spectrum emulators as well.

And of course AndChat or other IRC client for #chipmusic. smile

Can I get a 10k shirt at the same time and save on shipping? Did any of those shirts actually get sold internationally/online yet?

Opinions on HP vs Sony vs Dell in terms of general reliability? And any other brands I should think about?

When it was still under warranty, my laptop had trouble with the graphics card overheating. After a very long and painful technical support procedure, I managed to get them to replace the motherboard. I started using a cooling pad with fans like e.s.c. showed above, and it seemed to help. It broke though, so I started using a metal wire oven rack, which was smaller and seemed to work just as well. Graphics card seems to have finally died again though, despite my cooling efforts.

a question that is basically "what laptop is good" is a teensy bit too vague to be answered properly

If you read past the first sentence of my initial post, you'll find some more specific information. I'm just looking for a general use laptop, not a super powerful gaming or media machine, but I want to know what PC brands are reputable these days. I want reliable hardware that will last, even if it's not the latest and greatest in terms of speed.

Srs: I bought a Macbook after years of being a PC user, I was worried I'd miss using Windows but I really haven't. OSX has certain benefits over Windows for audio work as well, CoreAudio (default audio driver on macs) is so solid you don't need other audio drivers like ASIO on Windows to get it useable and in fact pretty much all audio applications on OSX use it for that reason. Audio and MIDI setup and routing is much easier too, and everything still works without restarting even if you accidentally unplug something or need to change your interface, and you can use multiple interfaces simultaneously without resorting to ASIO4ALL which is a bit unstable. Obviously if you're planning on playing games on it there's better options but as a general purpose workhorse it's hard to beat.

I've been thinking about it, and I don't think I can afford a Mac. Don't think I really need one either.

My laptop died. Recommendations for a new one? sad

It doesn't have to be top of the line since I don't really play video games anymore. Also, only reason I can think of that I would want a Mac is for Final Cut, and I don't own Final Cut or do that many film projects anymore, but I'm considering the option. What computer brands are good nowadays besides Apple? Considering having Linux as my main OS and dual booting with XP.

inb4 comments advising me to stick with C64, Atari, Apple II, etc.

Downloaded and listening. I love that the first track is simply the noise of someone inserting a 5.25" floppy, typing the load instruction in BASIC, and then the 1541 going to work! It's a nice intro. Its simplicity and straightforwardness fits well with the overall "classic" (as you put it) vibe of the release. Last track is cool too. smile
