Totally. But I think the effect that they were going for, justifies presenting it this way.

i'm glad blip is stopping before it could (if honestly possible) go weak.

I kinda agree in a sense, not due to who played but just the set up of Blip 2012 didn't feel right to me. Seemed like it was just a social setting, this could be the venue change?

On the one hand, it had nothing to do with the venue. There was definitely starting to be a trend of people who just came to Blip to hang out rather than actually hear the music. It was kinda this "yearly pilgrimage" thing. Maybe even a sort of obligation. I was kinda shocked at how many people were not enthused about some of the acts that were playing. I know everyone has their own taste but I figured if you were paying $60+ for a 3 day pass you may as well want to get down to the music.

On the other hand, the sound at Gramercy was awful. At some points you couldn't hardly hear the music. And seats? What for?

But it's important to remember that this was not what caused Blip to go on hiatus. If the team could reasonably keep organizing it, they would. They've just hit a wall in terms of what they can handle. Maybe they made it look easy to organize each festival for the past what, 7 years? but it wasn't.

I love these circlejerk threads. heart 8======D heart

Wait am I doing this right?

I actually love everyone in PHL / NYC and of course my Jersey crew.

I think arguing with trolls and closing their threads counts as feeding them.

Yeah its just making the chip sound a lot less good in comparison

Totally disagree, some of my favorite dubstep songs were made with chip hardware. They might be lacking in sub bass but I like that gritty sound. I chose these songs because I think they stand up in comparison.

To each his own and I understand where you are coming from tho!

And just for the record, I think its pretty weird that you're mixing non-chip in with the chipbass. Doesn't really make any sense to me

to me there is no reason why the two have to be kept separate. also the show was a mix of chip and non-chip so I figured it fit nicely.
