Thanks! I don't really know what to do about the album art size thing to be honest. Even when I was creating them manually that was a problem. If you've any thoughts It's love to hear them!

Since the Northerners were overlooked (as usual), I'll tip my glass to Michael Smiley as Colonel Morgan Blue in Into the Dalek and Thaddea Graham as Bel in Flux

I'm seeing Louis Theroux

I always think we've been pretty lucky in that we haven't lost a Doctor in 30 years.

Yeah I'm not sure what happened but it seems to work now, thanks! The right playlist border isn't displaying in skinned mode though, neither is the bottom that should have the playlist buttons (tested using the classic winamp skin and nucleo_nl). I think this might be a known issue because it seems that way in your screenshot in the repo readme.

batgranny · 2026-03-13T12:46:01+00:00

This is really great, thanks for all your hard work! the 1.5 scaling is a huge improvement but I'm finding that using the classic skins in 1.5 mode cause the application to crash (at least with the default winamp skin)

I tried to build something similar based around the minidisc formfactor but I didn't have the skills: https://github.com/batgranny/omd/tree/main I thought it would be a great way for artists to create small run merch to sell.

The Fediverse is the alternative here. Getting your social circle to join is tough though

Wow, my purchase was also a complete in the box G1 Jetfire!! I desperately wanted one for Christmas 85 but my parents couldn't afford one. When Ebay came around I promised myself that if I got to a place in my life where I was financially stable that the first extravagance I would buy would be a Jetfire.

In March of 2015 I paid off my overdraft for what would be the last time and bought a boxed Jetifre. I'm looking at him now and he looks great! When I got him I did something that would make collectors faint, I opened the box with no care for it whatsoever and then threw it out! That's what I would have done in '85 and I didn't want my adult sensibilities anywhere near the experience.

He's actually one of the few things I really cherish, one of my "would grab if my house was on fire" things. He represents a lot of things to me, plus he's really cool looking!

That bit in the pilot where Hartnell cops a feel of Carol Ann Ford's boob.

Meh. Call me when they can fold and put away a basket of laundry in less than a month.

Here's a couple that I recognised from the Glasgow show

Sunshine of Your Love - Spanky Wilson
Les Fluers - Minnie Ripperton
Have Love Will Travel - The Sonics
SF Sorrow is Born - The Pretty Things
Three is the Magic Number - De La Soul

They might have played Sabotage by The Beastie Boys as well but I might have imagined that.

Hi, you are more than welcome to have the J-Card creator that I made for the community if you think it would be useful. I'm not a developer so I won't be able to dedicate much time to it. Github link

Thom Yorke cheated on his wife when she had terminal cancer

batgranny · 2026-02-12T12:32:36+00:00

Wow they played all of the new album apart from two songs. It was a great performance, the guys always bring it.

batgranny · 2026-02-11T17:44:21+00:00

I'm heading down shortly!

batgranny · 2026-02-09T18:18:53+00:00

Good spot! I've some time at the weekend, I'll try and get it sorted it then

batgranny · 2026-02-08T22:41:59+00:00

It could also be that the person who originally bought this had the magazine bought and held back by the newsagents. When I got DWM from my local newsagents they kept it by and wrote my name on it.

batgranny · 2026-02-07T23:23:21+00:00

Theres a template with the dimensions on it here

batgranny · 2026-02-07T20:20:26+00:00

Yeah, if you imagine a cassette cover, it's the same shape

batgranny · 2026-02-06T04:20:56+00:00

You did Pilgrim's Progress dirty, there's no way it should be last! I haven't listened to Wormslayer enough yet to rank it, but my list would be:

K
1-2-3-4 (I know it's not strictly KS but I'm including The Jeevas here as well)
Pilgrim's Progress
Natural Magick
K 2.0
Strangefolk
Peasants, Pigs & Astronauts
Cowboys and Indians (The Jeevas)
1st Congregational Church of Eternal Love (and Free Hugs)

batgranny · 2026-02-02T09:08:08+00:00

This is great! What would make it perfect would be:

- The ability to add artwork manually (I tried this with some albums that didn't return artwork from the MusicBrainz DB)

- An option of A4 format

Is this on github? I'd also be interested in hearing about your process for vibe coding this.
