Moogfest 2012

[Phi]

old schedule?

[garageland]

Like one from years past. I like it. I'd be happy with that.

[Phi]

Ah ok

[garageland]

It looks right. I would have maybe switched Cold Cave and Death Grips, but I could see something like that still happening.

[garageland]

Even Justice thinks they are playing Moogfest.

[problem dog]

If I skip Death Grips, I can see all of Trust and an hour of Orbital. Worth it?

[Phi]

I want to see ALL of Trust, ALL of Disclosure, and ALL of Orbital. Oh and ALL of Death Grips. Thats my quacking top 4. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

[Druid]

I'm gonna catch most of Trust, pop my head in TWA and say I saw Thomas Dolby, then catch the rest of Orbital.

Pick two and commit.

[Phi]

But what sucks is Orbital is my #1. If I commit to seeing 100% of Orbital, then I CANT see 100% of the other three. They ALL overlap with Orbital.

[problem dog]

I guess you're just Quacked then.

That is my odds on plan at the moment too.

This is my plan if I choose to skip Death Grips.

My plan as well. Really sucks, but it'll be great at the same time.

[Dave Maynar]

We are going to capacity Trust just with Inforoo people. Excellent.

[problem dog]

...and now I'm worried about getting into Trust.

[garageland]

No Orbital, No Dolby, No Death Grips, No Trust. I'll be with one of the 3 people here.

I wouldn't worry too much. They played a venue that is about the equivalent of a broom closet here last week.

Also, I've learned over the years that inforoo interest is not always a reflection of non-inforoo interest. We're a bit weird


I think the most popular pick will be going Santigold -> Orbital

Agreed. I try not to take too much stock in the percentages of people going here. Most people don't research every single act on the line-up. A majority of people will be at Orbital with Death Grips and Dolby making a strong showing. I see Trust and Hecker/Lopatin in a heated race for 4th place.

Edit: damn your post modifying, cks!

[garageland]

^^that, exactly.

Well, what cks said.

[elimsnéttikyzarc]

Haha, sorry. I probably edit my posts more than anyone else in inforoo history

[garageland]

I actually agree with you, dave. Trust will be a strong third in that slot, just from the amount of Info-sters there. If Heckers set is any indication, last year, this set will be just as empty.

[problem dog]

Yeah, my post was only half serious. This board can definitely warp one's perspective. I was arrowing over all the names on the schedule earlier, and I was surprised to see that Santigold and Miike Snow have more likes than everyone except Orbital and Squarepusher. It makes sense, they're both popular and highly billed, but they're hardly mentioned in this thread.

I think GLand is right, Hecker/Lopatin and Trust will probably run neck and neck. With the crowds both those drew individually last year, and the insane amount of competition this year, I don't see that show cracking the 300 mark.

Remember where he was. The set probably wasn't nearly as empty as it felt since he was in a space waaaaaay too big for him. There is also the power of it being Hecker AND Lopatin... well, if more people figure out who Lopatin is.

[garageland]

That show won't be packed by any means. I joke about the 4 people but I don't think anymore than 100, tops, given the conflicts. It's gonna fall in the "cool if there wasn't any conflicts to see" category. Given the fact it's opposite Orbital, I bet the same thing will apply.

[CPK]

How far are these venues from each other? If they are close enough to go back and forth then this is my schedule.

Friday: Killer Mike > Nas (if possible) > El-P > Squarepusher > Open to suggestions

Saturday: Divine Fits > Cold Cave > Orbital (conflicts suck) > Fout Tet

Edit: I am going to be so boozy since there are no sets until 7pm. I am so used to being a 12pm or 1 pm show at other festivals.

Check the logistics thread. Bandeto made a map. It's so fancy.

Also, pretty much everything after Squarepusher is awesome.

^^I might be calling cabs in advance to go back in forth from the Orange Peel & EA.com/Thomas

You can probably make the walk in the time it will take a cab to show up.
