@shrinkwrapped.bsky.social Can you believe that Kevin (Reynolds) hadn't heard of Faraquet?

I've been enjoying reflecting on my past media consumption... So let's talk about Marvel superhero comics for a minute!

15 years ago I was lucky enough to witness the album 'Hadestown' (which became a West End show) performed live at the Union Chapel.

My Top 40 Loved Graphic Novels... I love titles that tend to have either (a) genuine emotional resonance beyond genre element, or (b) such committed execution that the craft itself becomes the point.

This is all entirely subjective and meaningless of course! thoughts.encosion.com/2026/01/24/t...

Woke up to both sunshine AND this news this morning... Faraquet!?! Live in (almost) my neighbourhood? Hopefully they'll sneak a Brighton or Hastings gig in between Leeds and London shows. This is huge for me.

In other news... Holy Fuck are playing in Brighton on my 50th birthday... So that'll be my birthday plans sorted!

20 years ago I went to this show by the talented Puente Celeste in BsAs thanks to some super friendly strangers that became friends

It's April first right?
Apple has made a $230 iPhone sock 😅 the iPhone Pocket is actually a knitted bag, and Apple will start selling it on Friday www.theverge.com/news/818328/...
Apple made a $230 crossbody… sock
The iPhone Pocket isn’t really a pocket at all.

Can you hear the difference? Strap on some headphones and give it a try... Can people actually distinguish between different bitrates of modern audio compression? Rather than relying on ego / reddit / forum debates I built a proper double-blind test! thoughts.encosion.com/2025/11/11/c...
Can you hear the difference?
I've always been curious about audio compression: at what bitrate does Opus become truly transparent? Can most people actually distinguish between 96kbps or 160...

I asked Claude to describe this old mixtape of mine in case people didn't recognise any of the artists. I thought it would come up with a short description, instead it wrote an entire essay... thoughts.encosion.com/2025/11/01/a...

Thinking about my late 90's introduction to website building with a 2nd hand copy of an older Photoshop version (3.0?) that my friends and I clubbed together to buy... Building sites with notepad.exe and later HotDog for a local ISP

Mates of State seared into my brain from many years ago. In a good way. This is a long forgotten venue - the Arts Cafe, London (I remember seeing @davebazan.bsky.social there - I think?)

Highly recommend catching Hades Town in the West End. They really brought @anaismitchell.bsky.social's baby to life!

A very much younger me once had tickets to see Samiam. I ditched them after listening to a couple of Oxes MP3s online. I remember thinking it could be a mistake. It wasn't. Still one of my favourites. Even made a life long friend recognising a stranger in an Oxes tee at a greasy spoon in Shoreditch

Just heard that the guitarist from my first band, many many years ago, past away... Sobering

This resonates... Years ago I was following similar rules, apart from #4 "if you aren't enjoying a book, stop reading it immediately" ...I got stuck on a book I didn't want to give up on and it ruined all my momentum and joy.
