I was probably browsing some articles regarding a Polish hauntological series Kraina Grzybów when Boards of Canada came up as another example of hauntological aesthetic. I didn't like all of it at first, but it grew on me and about four months later I bought all the releases.

I can't remember all the specifics, but in late 2013 I started getting into vinyl and visiting record shops here in Toronto. I saw "Tomorrow's Harvest" on the shelves enough times in stores like Sonic Boom and Kops Records that I looked them up on YouTube, which prompted me to then download "The Campfire Headphase" through P2P. I liked that album enough that I downloaded TH, and then I bought TH on vinyl in 2014 and played it quite a few times at the electronics store where I worked.

The rest is history! And I just picked up the vinyl reissue of Twoism a couple of weeks ago, so my collection of the major LPs and EPs is finally complete. :)

My old college roommate. He also introduced me to Animal Collective and Broken Social Scene, which remain two of my favorite bands to this day. I miss that dude.

My friend sent me this famous Olson video, and I fell in love with it (still one of, if not my fav BoC song).
