@annieknk.bsky.social 👀 One for the QAA podcast perhaps. The bird of paradise bit was absolutely not on my bingo card.

You’re doing the Lord’s work commentating so the rest of us don’t have to watch it. The snark is FAR better anyway than the actual show.

Amy does not endorse this method.

I’m in such an on-again/off-again relationship with the countryside because of work. I seem to think I can have both if I slowly turn my London house into a jungle of house plants.

I’d genuinely forgotten about a lot of these CDs and compilations but my brother’s visit triggered me to go digging.

It’s not a humble brag, it’s more like a strange realisation that things move in circles so gradually you don’t even notice it’s happening 😵‍💫

Not many people I knew liked dance music like I did but I didn’t care. I was obsessed.

It never went away. Today I work for a record label. I eat, breathe and sleep dance music.

The “classics” I’m going to teach my brother with, the ones we used to hammer at home are by artists I work with now.

We didn’t get internet access until I was about 13 and even then it was dial up (rural Irish countryside).

We’d both go onto YouTube and just search and search and search. It’d take ages and ages for the songs to load but when you found a gem, it was so worth it.

I specifically remember lying on my bedroom floor listening to Tiesto’s ‘Parade of the Athletes’ when I was 12 over and over.

‘Traffic’ and ‘Adagio For Strings’ would make the hairs on my arms stand up. No other genre of music could do that for me. What WAS this stuff?

My older brother was also into dance music and had a wild sound system. His bedroom door (and the house in general) would rattle with the thudding of 138bpm trance until my parents couldn’t take it anymore.

When he was out I’d sneak in and steal his CDs to listen to them on my tiny cd player.

When you found it, it felt like an achievement. It felt exciting, they were playing stuff absolutely no mainstream station was.

This is weirdly full circle.

A pirate radio station in my hometown was my gateway to so much dance music as a kid.

The radio frequency was incredibly specific and it was taken off air frequently 🚓
