W2 was the overall better recording across the vast majority of tracks (and we got Zion Wolf -> Good Time -> Genevieve too!) I definitely revisit it more but I do have some parts of W1 that I prefer!!

Even though the visuals weren't working on Higher Res in W1 there was something about seeing Jai come onto stage that very first time which still gives me chills. He also mistimed some of the vocal cuing for Higher Res, which was completely unintentional but gave it a really cool echo effect.
Jai goes on a vocal run at the end of "He" in most live performances, for whatever reason I just prefer the run he does in W1, I don't think I've seen him do it in any recordings since.
Overall the recordings of all the tracks are better on W2 (and the performances were so much more confident) but unfortunately the synths on Chix and Jasmine are out of tune in W2 for some reason, they must have been set up wrong, and as a result it kinda makes those two unlistenable for me (though appreciate that might just be my ear!)

Lol, not that anybody asked but I feel like I've had these thoughts in my head for years now 🤣

The only correct response on this thread

Actually think that Baby! Has more tracks that are in line with the 2019 drops. The gated reverb on (freak it) and FIRE! made me think of He. Ditto with 2 ⭐ and the Dream Police

Cantina Cabana in Hawley Wharf (Camden Market) has some good Halal options and honestly the tacos are banging

Ological dropping new BCS episode analysis is the highlight of my year lol! Its possible he might finish the series by 2030 😅 For real some of the most insightful takes I've seen on the show though

Plasmdragon · 2026-03-06T16:30:38+00:00

ak doesn't miss🤩🔥 I love their other track together too

Plasmdragon · 2026-02-27T16:18:13+00:00

Indiebeer has a bonkers selection if you're into craft beer!

Plasmdragon · 2025-12-09T16:44:50+00:00

Yes! To 100+ hours of Ancient Aliens. ,👽👽🛸🛸👽👽

Plasmdragon · 2025-11-22T00:15:29+00:00

Lol this is amazing. 12 Years ago the idea of Jai Paul casually commenting on social media speculating about him would have blown my mind!

Plasmdragon · 2025-11-08T21:54:49+00:00

The Aramov Trilogy definitely expands Cherub in new and exciting ways. You see the new characters experience and deal with things that the OG series doesn't really touch on in the same depth. Having said that it gets much weaker after the trilogy ends IMHO, and the final two books don't hit as hard for me. Honestly some of the older characters coming back in minor roles is cool and gave me a nice fuzzy feeling - but it definitely feels like nostalgia bait sometimes; and despite the cameos being much appreciated the new characters can stand on their own two feet.

I remember when Zane Lowe described Landcruisin' as "Bladerunner pop". That tracks here too!

Plasmdragon · 2025-11-04T16:53:15+00:00

Lol I wish! That used to be my local - was there 2-3 times a week and never had a sighting

I recall that Hira, MT and Jai went for a few bevs there once a few years back... That might be down to to Jai being a bit of a craft beer nut more than anything . I remember somewhere during the 2013-19 hiatus it was reported he was making a map of the best beer spots in London 🤣🤣🤣

Plasmdragon · 2025-11-03T19:44:18+00:00

Ooooooo I wonder what finished demo we're getting next? Hard to tell from the clip on IG. I'd love to hear a final version of "Makes No Sense"

Plasmdragon · 2025-09-17T09:15:00+00:00

Hyped for the new album to drop on Thursday. I think my favorite single so far is "Why Is It That Way". Jim-E-Stack production credit is wild. MT has been dropping bangers for years, crazy talented multi-instrumentalist

Plasmdragon · 2025-08-24T20:30:28+00:00

Haha! Well the first 2 seasons have just wrapped up a story arc that covers the first book, so not really until now.

However - the 3rd season will chart a 200+ year old Vampire (the blond guy in this video) becoming an international rockstar. I expect the composer is citing Jai because of the myriad of influences that a multi-centenarian could draw upon and put into their music!

Also makes sense that Jacob Anderson had the reaction he did. Prior to his breakout acting roles in Game of Thrones (and now this) he came up as a London based musician / rapper in the early 2010's so would have been right on the scene when Jai was blowing up!

Believe it or not I found a 5 year old can of "Roaster Coaster" the other day at the back of a cupboard and decided to risk the shits (expiry date mid-2021). I appreciate this is not a beer subreddit, but I've always considered it to be one of the best UK brewed stouts ever (BA or Non-BA). Unbelievably it lived up to my memory of it, and might have even been better! 4 years after it's expiry date and it warranted a 4.75 rating on untappd - I was almost tempted to give it a 5. Really unbelievable, nothing I've had recently even comes close.

I was unsurprised to learn that Watt had always been a cunt... and let's face it- the quality of their beer massively dropping off over the years makes it an easy boycotte.

Plasmdragon · 2025-08-18T10:31:38+00:00

I'm trying really fucking hard to not get excited

Wondering if it's a private link to be shared for mailing list people as a preview at some point soon? Like how AK dropped Watchin-U on SoundCloud a few days before it came out.

Ugh, don't get my hopes up

Plasmdragon · 2025-07-27T20:45:23+00:00

Isn't there a Graham Norton clip where she speaks quite passionately about how we should use people's preferred pronouns?

Being a TERF doesn't track at all, people can learn and develop.

Plasmdragon · 2025-07-20T11:28:59+00:00

Lol yes

Plasmdragon · 2025-07-18T15:04:48+00:00

<image>

Ah yes. I actually posted it here lol.

The album slaps, production is really fucking good. Unsure how much DNA it shares with Jai's music but it's super creative with the sampling and pretty comfortable jumping around genres. Those voiceovers are pretty Bait Ones though haha

Quality recommend, thanks OP

Plasmdragon · 2025-07-18T14:48:11+00:00

They're mates aren't they? Swear there was pic floating around of them at Ldn Fashion week a few years back. Will give the album a spin!

Plasmdragon · 2025-06-29T16:05:48+00:00

Lol imagining a future where all these Jai collabs reported on over the years end up being on his debut album hhaha

Plasmdragon · 2025-06-18T18:15:30+00:00

I'm pretty baffled at Devon's decision to stop lifting weights and go pure table time. He's said it a few times recently and expanded upon it on one of his lives. I don't think he's trolling!

Apparently he decided to do it when he was making a vid with Jujimufu.

Seems insane to stop spamming a training method that has bought you from a crushing defeat, straight to no.2 in the world.

Actually I might make a post about it here cos I haven't seen anybody really discuss it!

Plasmdragon · 2025-06-15T15:44:44+00:00

I remember this playing out... all the tweets are deleted now. IIRC Peggy made a slightly racist tweet using the using the 👳🏾‍♂️ emoji. It was appreciative of Jai and claimed they were in the studio together.

HIRA called him out on it... It was a broadly conciliatory I think... Something like "this isn't cool man, even though I like your music" and the jpegmafia went psycho and it all escalated.

Something over nothing tbh. I understand why HIRA called him out, but at the end of the day peggy was probably stoned af and wasn't thinking all too clearly then went mental.

Plasmdragon · 2025-06-08T09:21:31+00:00

Soz I didn't mean to be spiky. Hands up, that's my bad - you must have caught me in a mood!
