Impressionistic piano album by H Hunt released in 2016. I love listening to this album over coffee in the morning while I watch my fish swim and/or any time I'm feeling anxious and stressed. The title is quite literal as it was initially recorded as a Christmas present for the artist's Dad before being released by cool guy UK label tasty morsels. Obviously there's a specific time, place and mood for a solo piano album but this one always hits.

this album is one of my favorite ambient albums ever. I’d describe it almost as chamber ambient if that makes sense? it sounds very gothic and expansive but also at times really delicate and beautiful. sonically it kind of reminds me of those pictures from I Spy books but a little darker and maybe slightly haunted

beautiful piano-based ambient album. one of the albums that got me into the genre, suits itself to passive or active listening. feels like a score more than just something that blends into the background.

Piano teacher recommended me this album. Incredible vibes -- like stereolab + fishmans + that bjork song with the harp. A ton of great tracks, I epecially like #10 Sjärna -- 7/8 meter, modal AF with a fun gong in the middle. Listening feels like running through the alps and there's hella small flowers. Puts a smile on my face.
If you've got an hour, this record is worth sitting down to listen to.
P.S. Please let me know if you have the mp3/flac for this!!!

⛽I spend a lot of time surfing out in Rockaway and whenever my car is in need of gas, I make a point of stopping at this particular Sunoco on Beach Channel Drive. It's situated right on the edge of Jamaica Bay, so while you're pumping your gas, you've got this beautiful, unobstructed view of the water, the birds and the boats, and on a clear day (most days) you've got a full panoramic view of the NYC skyline in the distance. If you don't wanna pay at the pump or the car reader's broken, you've got to pay the cashier inside of a bait & tackle shop, so you can also get some beer and all your fishing gear in one fell swoop. Exact location: 112 - 10 Beach Channel Dr, Rockaway Park, NY 11694 and if you wanna

🪑When I moved into an apartment above a funeral home last spring, I was looking for some furniture that wouldn't break the bank and would help offset the macabre mood of the place. I found a green bean bag chair to be the perfect solution while also complementing the other furniture in my living room pretty nicely. Some of my friends initially made fun of me for this purchase, saying that's something you get from a Pottery Barn Kids' catalogue, now those same friends come over and exclusively wanna sit in my bean bag chair. Don't knock it till you try it, folks, bean bag chairs are the shit.

👕It's one thing to wear a collared shirt under a crewneck sweatshirt, but I prefer to cut out the middleman and just wear a sweatshirt with a built-in collar. It's an easy way to feel cool, comfy and classy all at once and is fit for both informal and formal occasions. I found this one at a Goodwill in Ohio when I was in college about 10 years ago and it remains a favorite in my wardrobe to this day. Beams+ also makes some nice ones.
