Limbo is pretty great.

Cannot believe I forgot this. Absolutely incredible album. Every single tune a banger and such a unique sound.

They absolutely nailed the Zeitgeist with it.

Honorable mention goes to Moon Safari by Air. First time I heard every song on that album felt like I’d heard it before in a memory.

I still remember my first time hearing this too.

The dregs of a house party. Only a few chill people still up. Sun starts coming up and someone put it on. Absolutely perfect setting to hear that album for the first time.

I can immediately place myself in that room it seared itself into my memory with how well it hit.

I’ll throw my few in here:

Lemon Jelly - KY
Paul Simon - Graceland
Air - Moon Safari
Portishead - Dummy
Alt-J - An awesome wave

I’ll tell you my little story. When I was fully immersed in it (you were sent home if you uttered a full sentence in English), I started dreaming in Irish. It was an amazing experience.

My mind had just switched and I loved it. I was 14 at the time and I still remember that. I had some trouble reverting to English after I came home. The more I switched over the years the less hassle it was. I never dreamt in Irish after the initial burst.

Conversely, I know a French lad about twenty years now who’s been immersed in English longer than that and it’s only in the last few years that he mostly dreams in English.

I wonder who’s still paying for it.

True. I guess good intent and delivery is generally assumed with a gift but not always there. It’s not implied in the post though.

There’s a lot of important context missing but on balance, with the bits we do have, I think OP probably could have handled it with more sensitivity.

That’s true, but I don’t think that negates what was good intent. Plus we have no idea about delivery of the message from OP.

Looks good and I love that it is offline without ads and trackers.

It’s something I would definitely consider installing for my mum with the caveat that I’d like to see the source published.

€18 euro clown costume with €2 face paint for one. €3 cat in the hat costume from the school (which does costume recycling for money) for the other. They both looked great.

Update:

how many black lines are on the aux you’re plugging in?

There were only 2. I unplugged the aux cable but left the USB to aux in and the mic is still tied to it unfortunately.

Thanks for your help. Looks like I’m a little goosed.

I absolutely pissed myself laughing at the family guy Irish heritage museum skit. I am Irish so your mileage may vary.

The bit with the lady giving birth wrecked me. My stomach hurt.

Nice one. This sounds like a good option. I’ll check in a bit.

Oof. What in ignominious end for our old pal. :(

He did?!?

Sounds like you’re crushing it! Well done and good luck with the Baccalaureate!

Yes, but I felt I was living through a different era. My point was that recently it hasn’t felt that way. Maybe not in 20 years.

I wasn’t replying to OP though. I was replying to someone saying that living through an era makes it harder to discern the changes. I didn’t really agree with that because the 90s felt different from the 80s, even as I lived through them.

I dunno. The 80s had a very particular vibe. When the 90s came along, it just felt different, even as I lived through it.

I think the 2000’s didn’t feel that much different than that 2010’s.

But yeah maybe it’s recency bias.
