Takes me back to a specific season in my life when I first started listening to that album a lot — the summer a year after I graduated from high school. I'd just returned from nine months overseas and was headed off to college in a couple months. It was a great in between summer: going from one known good to another known good. No relationship at that moment. A gorgeous breezy cool midwestern summer. Working as a waiter. Hanging out. Reading a lot. Bouncing into old friends.

1 of 2 albums I can think of at the top of my mind that I listened to in its entirety. This takes me back to that summer in 2013 when I was listening to this album non-stop along w some indie songs I discovered thru 8tracks (I don’t know if anyone else will know this site, it was a gem). Also it was the time of my life I was just getting to know freedom from being able to travel solo and/or w friends or just discovering life. Akin to a coming-of-age movie. 😅 I don’t know if I make sense.

Yeah if it was May 2014, I’d be rec’ing not caring about your senior year finals, having a doubles partner in tennis that makes you laugh so hard you lose entire matches, riding in the beds of pickup trucks, listening to Alt-J and Wavves.
By June it would be: wearing a bathing suite out to every party, and ending up in a pool. By August: camping in Montauk and The Rolling Stones’ Moonlight Mile. By October: the Front Bottoms, Vulpeck’s My New Car, autumn in New England.
By December: drawing with charcoal and listening to Julian Casablancas’s Phrazes for the Young, but as a Christmas album 🎄

this is worthy of celebration: the lack of video—autoplay video, noisy inane video, panicky video, algorithmic, dumb video, rabbit hole video, any video—on pi.fyi is a good thing

this is going to hurt — A LOT — but it's getting to the point where there's no other option
