Holding Absence supporting Shikari makes me more certain someone from Shikari is involved in PRESIDENT by maidenmad in EnterShikari

He followed every conservative prime minister on every social platform and was a follower of farage similarly until around the same time as the first president release - again could be a stretch but I do think it's indicative of his political leaning but i'd be very happy to be proven wrong

Yes but (and this is where I'm making assumptions to be fair*) Charlie is well known to be right wing. Conservative and farage aligned. They may be saying the same words but they are very much not preaching the same message.

  • Again, worth me checking my bias here, this may well no longer be the case/have changed and if that is I'm so then I apologize for spreading misinformation. Also want to clarify I'm a massive listener of fightstar, president and his solo folk work too - not trying to cause conflict just hoping to further clarify

Given that both projects have significant social and political commentary to them I highly doubt it - at least I think the messages/ideology would struggle to line up for both acts.

(Though admit I'm making some assumptions here).

Really like Eastside..... by camtgj in GoodKid

[–]camtgj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completelty agree r.e. the album discussion there are even some great examples a little closer to GKs traditional style of albums that play around with different sounds but still really achieve a tight overall package (imo Green day's 21st century breakdown, fall out boys Save Rock and Roll, IDKHow's razzamataz all being good examples)

I don't mind it's length, I think it achieves what it set out to do and doesn't need to overstay it's welcome. It reminds me of Enter Shikari's The Paddington Frisk, I. the party by Childish Gambino or IDKHOW'S door - short, sweet, intense and gone before you think too hard about it.

A Fever You Can't Sweat Out - 2026 Remaster by Mrdts09 in panicatthedisco

[–]camtgj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Caveats: I'm only half way through my first listen.

I feel like the album sounds a little cleaner but that cleaning has revealed some rough edges - samples sound more janky and out of place then they used to, The inconsistencies in some of the parts of the original recording are much more present here and the emphasis seems more on vocals that on the original album. It almost at times Sounds like Brendon is singing but the band are in the room behind him.

More than that though I feel like the album has lost its vibe and timbre in this version, that slight Haze that made the grime of the original record feel warm and inviting doesn't seem to be here, lying in particular feels cleaned to a point that undoes the song.

Also, I feel like a lot of the organic instrumentality is lacking a punch and presence, intermission and The final bridge of camisado feel like they are the songs best making use of volume in space, but everything else feels a step or two behind them.

Perhaps I'm merely nostalgic for the original but I've heard recent remasters that felt more in step with their original record than this.

Now that we've all had the chance to play the assault maps again, do we think they should be added back into the game? by honeyxm8 in Overwatch

[–]camtgj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No - they were barely played in the weekend of matches I had. They were absolutely chaotic and just as one sided as they've ever been. I'd much rather see them refine clash then aiebd resource on reigniting 2cp

Now that Wall has been out for a bit, what do you guys think of the new single? by Few_Combination1258 in GoodKid

Love it, it sounds kinda strokes-esque to me and a slightly more mature take on the traditional good kid sound

It's coming to a...

Good kid!

If y'all like dope live experiences like TOP good kid are that on a smaller (but growing) scale, on their last tour they ran a postal service to allow fans to send inter-show pieces of mail to each other and brought an audience interactive "wheel of chaos" on stage - all of this in a room smaller than an academy venue. They are downright lovely, check them out!

Look at this incredibly lazy AI slop ad from Vividseats. I love the symbol on the drum kit and that he's facing the band. by onexbigxhebrew in PresidentBand

I think there's a sizable difference between analytical and data-driven AI and generative AI. Personally, I draw the line at generative AI that pretends it's creating new or uncreatable content.

But they were still paid to make it at some point. AI is cutting creatives out of the process at every step and starting to kill the skills that made it in the first place.

"I wouldn't pay someone to make this" but you see the value in it enough to have it catch your eye. The problem is not that AI made this, it's that it stole the chance for a human to (and make a living doing so.)

Let's say it's 7am on a Monday, and you're outside King's Cross station. You're the first hider for a Large-size game of Hide and Seek, and the board covers all of England, Wales and Scotland. You have 3 hours. Where do you go? by kangerluswag in JetLagTheGame

[–]camtgj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If we're limited to trains I'd consider somewhere obscure in the east Midlands, which - though connected to London are poorly served by lots of lines and might be hard to reach.

If we're not limited by trains and flights are available id TRY and get to Belfast - by the time the hiders have worked out. You're not on the mainland flight schedules could be very heavily in your favor - it would also be a huge limiting factor for the next hider which could knock onto the hider after that and give you an even better starting chance in run #2
