Saving the first full headphone listen for the morning commute to school; CD Walkman occasionally skipping whilst staring out at Dublin Bay from the packed DART, listening to the future whilst performatively holding a dog-eared copy of Huxley’s Brave New World #kida20 #memories.
Today marks the twentieth anniversary of @Radiohead's Kid A. Who's feeling old now? Favourite tracks anyone?

I'm obsessed with attempting to realise that so many topics are more complicated than I originally thought and expanding the scope & depth of my opinions as I learn. I think it's what people used to do before the Internet existed. The deeper you go, the less adversarial you feel.
