Zen Albatross \| 2:12 AM on 07.10.2008	9 comments

Do you enjoy being serenaded by sweet square-wave lullabies? Feel like you could use some extra blops, bleeps and/or beeps in your life? Well, worry not dear readers because Blip Festival 2008 has been officially announced.

Now in it's third year, BlipFest is the largest music festival in the world devoted entirely to lo-fi 8-bit music.

If the sounds of Gameboys, Commodores and Famicoms is what tickles your fancy, you're guaranteed to have a blast.
