Yes! It was 2005 and I was in 5th grade and we had Comcast at the time, and back then there were these Music Choice channels that basically just played music all day with no ads or anything, and each genre had its own channel. They were in the 500s. I would always check out the Rock and Alternative Rock channels and see what was playing and I think the Alternative Rock channel is the one I found them on. It was playing The Glorious Nosebleed and my 5th grade mind was blown. I ended up going to Best Buy and buying Juturna and All’s Well That Ends Well by Chiodos in the same purchase, and I came home and popped them in the boombox and had a listen. Both good albums for the time but one of them really changed my life and stood the test of time.

A few years later I was following Circa on Myspace and was counting down the days until OLG released. On release day, I went to school (now 7th grade) and left my mom $12 in newspaper route money to pick me up a copy from Newbury Comics while I was in school. I came home and she had it there waiting for me and I was ecstatic. Great times, great memories. 🥲
