Bubblyfish at Blip Festival 2008 with Joel Johnson (BBtv)

BBtv online: http://tv.boingboing.net
Joel Johnson reports from annual celebration of 8-bit/videogame-inspired music. Joel says: "Last week found us at Blip Festival 2008, the megalocus of live chiptunes music, where Game Boys met Atari STs with Amiga visuals for four evenings of square wave fun." "We were out in Gowanus in Brooklyn at the event, at least until Rob and I got tired and had to go home and rest our widdle heads. But until then, we got to speak to several of the artists just after their sets, and the BBtv crew is taking our drunken, blurry footage and actually making something worth watching out of it." First up: Haeyoung "Bubblyfish" Kim.

I was at Blip Fest and arrived just as Bubblyfish was going on. Anyone who was there remembers that it snowed in Brooklyn that night and we had to wait in line--in the snow. She had the biggest crowd of any performer over the 4 nights.

well Charlie, its true that she's got obvious bits of Shmallmark Frethergluppen in her synthetic overdraft however with woods so close I'd say she was a damn fool to not give a 2nd interview 5 minutes later with a plethora of previously left out info like the time she found her cat in her car and worriedly tossed her back into the house only to find a few minutes later her car screeching out of the driveway with the only thing visible being the top of the cats head

I LVOE you BubbyFish. Pretty and you do your own thing. 88 keys on a wooden box is wayy too limiting. You, Little Boots, and AppleGirl002 could colab. Maybe film a soft core together also. I would like that much.

I hear that DEVO's Booji Boy is still a 55-year old virgin, and the Spud Boys aren't doing anything to "help him out". Maybe you could , you know, hep ol' Booji. Slip him a Mitsubishi-embossed Extasy pill onto his juice box before... Sometimes a little help goes a long way.
