Had to see what difference the accurate proportions would be ... turns out a lot.
Gwyn@gwynebs.bsky.social · 5mo agoDo you think there's some reason the "much better" bar on here is visually larger than "much worse" even though it's numerically smaller? 🤔
Just found this perfect little clip from 2009, on tour with @disasteradio.bsky.social in USA. Blink had just driven us all night from Baltimore, after Luke played a show there ... and this was us arriving on the outskirts of NYC at dawn. 🔊
Forgot to post the super nerdy promo for @amamelia.bsky.social 's Floating Opera music vid last year. We did so much fun research for the vid on @audioculturenz.bsky.social , thanks so much for the eternally excellent site ❤️ Catch the full vid here www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgaK...
Most of the things I make with Jess Johnson could be called music videos but this is the first actual, for real, music video we've made together. It's for Moritz Simon Geist's dreamy new single, from his upcoming album that Jess provided the cover art for. ⚱️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZU2...

Single and album arts for the new ear-wateringly good @babyzionov.bsky.social material. Fantastic new album out in Oct on @sunreturn.bsky.social This new single is amazing 🐬https://babyzionov.bandcamp.com/track/dolphin-diamond-raceway-feat-deepstate
Was reminded of this tour promo for 2012 GoldenAxe / Amdiscs today. Why did the internet seem much more enjoyable then??
Accidental dual play of ambient music radio show & Office Photocopier Basic Training Youtube Video was surprisingly good ... took me ages to realise it wasnt all the radio show
In celebratory news, the local gig guide my buddies & I make each week reached 10k followers on ig this weekend. It's approaching 5yrs of doing this every week & I'm quite pleased ppl find it useful
