Maybe it's the shared droll sense of humor or the fact that it has churned out some of the best music of all time. Heck, I even like the food despite its reputation (which I believe to be unfair!)

Quality of cheese on average (even Tesco brand stuff) is very high — US is awash in terrible cheese even in leading dairy states like Wisconsin which should know better.
High per-capita love of music — I think y’all do a lot of singing in primary school and it shows. Professional musicians and DJs love to tour the UK, even the tiny venues / smaller cities, because you guys just love music so much more than other countries.
Trust in science and atheism more generally — Brits seem to believe that the death of God and the rise of the Enlightment and science are somehow related, which is hilarious to anyone who’s spent time in Middle America, the South, or Utah. It was absolutely jaw-dropping to watch pretty much everyone get in line for a vaccine on the say-so of Boris Johnson and some nerds at Oxford.
NHS — 'nuff said, up the fuckin NHS!! Just spent a week in the hospital last month and walked out with a bill for a big fat £0

My girlfriend put me onto this . British Baking Show, made me find a new love for the UK. I call it “British”. Best show, personalities, and if you love food as much as I do its the best. Also Love Island in a crazy trash way i’m really down for it.

Here it is, folks! Volume I of what could very well be a continuous project. Thank you so much to everyone that submitted - I smiled the entire time I was putting this together. It's best listened to with headphones ☺️
Liner Notes:
This collection of field recordings is a collaborative effort with users of PI.FYI, each of which recorded their own pieces. It features audio from all over the world and exhibits eclectic moments from London Underground commutes to cuckoo bird calls in Dhaka to the sounds of a century-old American diner.
Online communities like PI.FYI often represent a diverse set of people, places, and experiences, but together, the submissions form a living collage that highlights the commonalities of modern life - a unifying message for such a tumultuous time. The first track features all of the sounds played at once in an attempt to create an audio snapshot of an online community but in their offline lives.
The individual recordings are unedited except for minor gain and compression adjustments for consistency across the collection.
