Travis has apparently said blink are recording a new record this year. So, we’ll see I guess. Tbh at this point I wouldn’t put it past them to just ask AI to do it for them, next logical step from hiring a bunch of outside writers.

So blatant and disgusting, not surprised

Yeah they’re coming near me but the price is mental

Pretty sure Episode IV is the song they played at Toms wedding Clarity is a beautiful record and probably one of my faves of all time from a production standpoint.

I couldn’t find a specific general thread for JEW just ones for certain releases and I feel like it’s time we had one. It’s the 25th anniversary of Bleed American and I never really realised how huge that record has been for me. With my recent hearing woes my relationship with music has been quite frustrating and off, I recently reminded myself of this record and I am baffled at why I’ve never swung from the rooftops saying it’s one of my fave records of all time. It’s raw but polished, it’s heavy and beautiful, it’s so well balanced and each track is stand out in it’s own way. Futures was always my favourite but damn, maybe it wasn’t and I just didn’t realise. Anyway, JEW chat ?

Oh nice, still very cool. i’ve got kids using so many different softwares for illustrating and animation it’s mad tbh, more 2D than 3D but all so varied from each other. I find it fascinating.

No we didnt

What software is your preferred? You a blender guy? I don’t animate but a lot of my students are getting into so many different types of animation and we’ve hired a guy to cover animation in our course because of how many go to us.

No I prefer their later ones too, I do love most of them but I feel like Trans Dys and Shape Shift With Me are brilliant

Where does it mention its Toms?

I usually can to some degree but I literally teach basic graphic design on the daily so I think I’m more used to subconsciously analysing these things - some are blindingly obvious but this one isn’t, which means they hired someone to invest time into AI to produce a kinda shitty product or they just hired a bad designer… which tbh the former would be too. It’s no longer “does that look real” but it’s more “does that feel off?” Which is much harder to pull apart and get any discernible evidence from. To be fair, when it comes to blink, they’ve had ugly fucking posters and merch for years, AI or not its in-keeping with their poor taste.

No it’s the texturing and shadowing of the bunny animatic (plus the piss poor type work) that suggests AI but personally I am not sure it is, it’s just badly done and ugly.

AI or not that poster is fucking ugly christ almighty

Mate I just don’t want to engage in another episode of Fap Flies Off The Handle. I misunderstood your original comment, clearly, and didn’t know the other phrase. Confusing back and forth. You’ve said weird shit before and I genuinely didn’t know calling women “birds” was solely British. I didn’t offer an apology though because of this general attitude of yours - being aggro’d at by a dude who reacts poorly to an “accusation” of sexism isn’t exactly going to make anyone forthcoming with reasonable discourse. Anyway, I’m sure this’ll escalate into violent threats next so, see ya’ll tomorrow I guess

Cool.
