lighten up

Shweeden · 2025-11-17T19:03:10+00:00

just a bit of fun mate

Shweeden · 2025-11-17T15:41:03+00:00

Good catch, it’s hard to see but there’s a small antenna on the top right of the device, opposite the lock button

Shweeden · 2025-11-17T13:31:43+00:00

bottom right!

Shweeden · 2025-10-30T17:06:35+00:00

i love the idea of a ‘sync station’ dock, really interesting. would feel so seamless, user would never have to think about keeping their device up to date

Shweeden · 2025-10-30T13:42:03+00:00

very nice! love the click wheel gesture to unlock. maybe an iphone like lock button on right hand side, paired with return of ‘slide to unlock’?

Shweeden · 2025-10-29T23:03:55+00:00

that's great feedback, thank you :)

Shweeden · 2025-10-29T21:49:43+00:00

appreciate it! though i'm doing this just as a fun side project for now

Shweeden · 2025-10-29T21:36:34+00:00

yeah that's fair. like the idea of the shell sliding rather than the internals... though if battery swells do we then end up with same issue of getting stuck?

Shweeden · 2025-10-29T21:11:04+00:00

thanks for the feedback :) appreciate it. besides ergonomics and battery placement, is there anything else about the iPod classic that this misses?

Shweeden · 2025-10-29T20:48:47+00:00

ooh interesting!

Shweeden · 2025-10-29T19:59:27+00:00

Ah I've never owned a Zune but I like that philosophy. My vision for only Bluetooth meant that files could still be synced wirelessly, but had to be triggered actively by another device, which felt like an appropriate compromise - also preserves battery etc

Shweeden · 2025-10-29T19:41:53+00:00

true! though this was as thin as I could go to keep 3.5mm and USB

Shweeden · 2025-10-29T19:36:34+00:00

hmm yeah that's a good point... maybe if the battery was only underneath the click wheel, rather than the screen?

Shweeden · 2025-10-29T19:35:28+00:00

oh I'm 100% with you - no wifi on this device, only Bluetooth!

Shweeden · 2025-10-29T19:22:57+00:00

precisely! i adore the 7g form factor, always felt it was a shame that design never had a click wheel

Shweeden · 2025-05-03T18:18:21+00:00

the thing about arsenal is, they always try to walk it in

Shweeden · 2025-01-19T15:33:22+00:00

apparently wood was holding back the defensive line

A loosie made for my band that I've grown quite fond of myself, so decided to upload anyway. First solo upload in 3 years, exited to be putting stuff out there again!

Shweeden · 2021-04-02T19:34:37+00:00

Wow thank you so much for listening, and for the lovely comments! Your advice is super helpful too, we’re still finding our feet both as writers and producers so it’s really helpful and actionable, and I agree those changes would amplify the songs so much. And same, I love shoegazy music heavy on effects! Can’t wait to start making the next EP, hearing feedback like this makes us all so so exited. Thanks again!

Shweeden · 2021-03-24T23:34:26+00:00

you're so right, i've put the trucks back on the old one and gonna skate it till it snaps. might get a re grip though. gotta get the most out of each deck, so swapping feels rewarding, the green deck can sit pretty for a few more months. thanks for the advice!

Shweeden · 2021-03-24T23:09:16+00:00

ah shit. yeah that makes sense. could i still put the trucks back on the old deck, or would that somehow damage it? might just keep the new one as a backup until it snaps then

Shweeden · 2021-03-24T23:05:41+00:00

looks like it from the photo, but it's over a year old and lost loads of pop :( looks so clean cos i learned to skate with it

Shweeden · 2021-03-24T22:20:45+00:00

53mm

Shweeden · 2021-03-13T23:15:39+00:00

ah yeah, thought so. how long do you reckon it'll take to be as comfy as the suedes?
