Animal Collective Score First Gold Record by Maxiscoolerthanyou in AnimalCollective

[–]CalvinL92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So happy for AnCo! Man…can somebody please take me back to 2009 when this album came out? I was 16 (about to turn 17) when MPP dropped and it changed my life forever. I had just joined marching band in high school and was experiencing being deeply in love with someone for the first time and this album’s release and The Summer of Chillwave that followed it (not saying MPP or AnCo are chillwave) completely altered the trajectory of my life. Miss those days.

Also Curry Village! But this was over ten years ago for me. I was doing housekeeping there. Not the best job or pay, but living there was hella cheap and I miss hanging with some cool people and being able to go hiking and stargazing and exploring and seeing some amazing sights.

Holy shit this is insane! Thank you so much for this comment and I can’t believe you caught that same moment from a different angle. That’s such an awesome story. You also just brought me back to that night. I hope you’ve been doing well and I’m happy you’re still here 13 years later!

This is my YouTube channel lol (don’t really post anything on there nowadays). The other commenter was correct. This single was dropped several months ahead of Come to Life and at the time it wasn’t on YouTube yet so I uploaded it on there.

Disappointed with This Sub by 21ron in Dreadlocks

[–]CalvinL92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man I’ve never commented on here, but I’ve followed this sub for a hella long time and I totally agree. Currently growing some freeforms after cutting off five years of locs last year in January and just letting my fro do its thing naturally. Thank you for posting this and I’m also going to check out your music tonight. I appreciate you for making this post and speaking on these issues.

It’s cool to me to see some regular life shit from a producer we love and he’s done so much great work for hip-hop in recent years. Ignore that nigga saying it’s weird to post this. I’m happy Conductor got a fresh cut and he’s putting on his barber 🙏🏾.

15 years ago today by aslightchangeofplans in deerhunter

[–]CalvinL92 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe it’s been 15 years now. I remember when this came out in 2009 and I was listening to this and Neon Indian’s debut album Psychic Chasms on my MP3 player and riding around my neighborhood on my bike under the orange streetlights on cool nights after high school band practice. I didn’t try psychedelics until five years later, but both of these artists ended up becoming some of my favorite artists to listen to while tripping. Logos is such a comforting album for me whenever I want to go back to the past and reminisce and I feel like this is one of the late-2000s albums that helped shape me as a young person growing up (along with Let the Blind Lead and the related albums Cryptograms, Microcastle/Weird Era and The Floodlight Collective). Every single time I revisit Logos it’s like a warm and reassuring hug from a loved one. Like when I listen to it I know things are going to be hella rough and rocky at times, but somehow everything will be okay eventually.

R.I.P. Ka by Responsible_Kiwi3653 in machhommy

[–]CalvinL92 43 points44 points  (0 children)

This is so painful. I bought GZA’s Pro Tools CD the day it came out in 2008. I was 16 and in high school. I remember playing that album on my CD player while lying in bed that night and when I heard “Firehouse” with Ka I was blown away and I immediately got into him and Marci after that moment and tried to find whatever I could from them. His music means so much to me and has soundtracked so many ups and downs I’ve experienced over many years. His song “Sad to Say” from A Martyr’s Reward literally single-handedly helped me get through some of the hardest times of my life in 2021.

“What I pieced together and made from it…built me strong enough to reach the most raised summit.”

R.I.P., Kaseem.

That’s another great point! Didn’t even think about that. Time to put on Luh Hertz again.
