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
Check the starred emails. Fascinating.
Edit: you can star them yourself so it’s essentially a crowd sourced list of interesting ones.
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.
I can’t even fathom what the cost of trying to implement a 51% attack on bitcoin would be.
I feel that pain. Like I’ve been in a corridor in the emergency department but at least mine was capped at €100.
I honestly would have been looking for the discount otherwise.
Holy fucking shit. Was the news delivered by the lord almighty with a massage and a perfectly cooked steak? Because that’s the kind of service I’d want for four fucking grand with that level of shitty diagnosis.
That’s shockin’.
That’s such a ridiculous thing to agree to, knowing that a country with a veto was the most likely aggressor. :(
Haha. Believe it or not I have actually pre-warned my kids that if they need to defend themselves physically to just press ahead and I’ll pay for the solicitor after.
They’re all incredibly good kids so I say that to them knowing it won’t be abused but provides them with the confidence they’ll be backed up and to stand up for themselves in the moment.
Damn. It really is.

It’s porn.
She’s a child.
It’s child porn.
Her first response wasn’t violence. She was let down badly by the school then pushed and pushed until she hit him.

It’s child porn for fuck sake. The school did nothing and put her on the bus with him. What other option was she left with?
If it were my daughter I’d be proud of her.
Curiosity got the better of me. I regret my hubris.
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.
