this kickstarted a minor obsession with vaporwave for me back in the day. i have friends who are just discovering vaporwave like, recently, which is fucking weird to me lol
i remember entering a giveaway competition thing back then where you won a prizepack thing for guessing the staff top 10 the closest and i was so fucking bummed when it dropped and this was in the top 10. i genuinely hadn't seen it discussed anywhere all year lmao
this must've been the second year me and my mates started going to conventions cause i distinctly remember listening to this with my headphones in when we went to pick up my mate's exchange student friend that i've literally never seen since. he was going to dress up as pink guy but pussied out when we actually got there. i know this was the second time cause my best mate had moved town the year before so this was our first time hanging out in like a whole year and i got to meet his new mates.
remember when this dropped in the last week of the year and fucked up everyone's AOTY lists cause y'all love posting them in november/early december for some kooky reason
also remember when an artist name like that used to kill that art in your list and make it look fugly?
never listened to anything but Hospice, which must have been like, one of my first 100 ratings when i was just joining internet music spaces for the first time
shoutout also goes to that time Weezer dropped an above average for their standard rock album and you all went hysterical and thought they were back to change the game lmao
I was actually going to say something about that too, cause I remember you championed the shit out of that album back in the day, and probably a considerable percentage of this site's userbase wouldn't have gotten on that shit if it wasn't for you
turns out I'm wrong about that Kinoko Teikoku album, since i didn't rate it until January 2015.that event was 2014, but i must be mandela-ing myself about listening to that album
"That Free Throw album was great. Thanks for the giant rec list."
I remember grabbing that in a bandcamp promo thing where that label had all their shit on name your price. That Hightide Hotel album was part of that too, so czech that too I guess
