Everything Ranked instead

- Road to Monument Valley 2025, staring out the window at the beautiful sun, loving life and the intricate art my ears were placed under.

90210 - On the way back from Penryn Campus, played in the car. Parents quietly accepted that this was my favourite song but I felt a sense of pride from them and of myself for not being shameful of the music I love even if it's from a different culture than the culture my parents are part of.
- Listened to almost everyday after leaving Disneyworld in 2024 in the back of the Toyota Highlander.
- Got me through the last 20 minutes of the flight home from San Francisco in 2025 August.
Maria I'm drunk - Listened to just before every time I went swimming on Wednesday nights in year 12 for some preparation for what was back then OpWall Madagascar
Rest of album - My favourite, soon to be my most listened, can't remember when I first listened to it though. I bought the CD for it though, on my 18th Birthday, at HMV with Laurie Kendall and Max. Legends.

- In my bedroom, in disbelief at how good it is

- In bedroom, Just before going off to Vegas 2025
Bitch don't kill my vibe - Became one of the Fame songs from that holiday. Staring into the sun going from the Hoover Dam to the Grand Canyon.

Shook Ones Pt.II - First discovered as a result of the DJ that played songs before The Alchemist show August 2025 at the Koko arena with one of my best mates, Max.

Released just a few weeks before seeing the Alchemist live, where Freddie Gibbs popped out as a surprise to perform Mar-a-lago, 1995, Lemon Pepper Steppers and Ensalada. Listened to this on release at midnight in a jam with Max Heath. One of my favourite albums, probably second. Simply unreal.

Community - One of the Fame songs from America 2025. PLayed most memorably when walking from the frontier restaurant to the desert place for Huckleberry Ice Cream in the middle of Death Valley at about 9pm, where the wind was strangely refreshing but your skin singed everytime your clothes brushed against you. Truly an unforgettable experience.
- Also listened to this on release at midnight with Max in a jam.

- Listened to this on the minibus to go and beat Rochester school at Badminton (we won 11-1). I sat with Sujay right behind me and Isaac Konieczny to my right across the centre passage who was listening to my recommendation of You only die 1nce - Freddie Gibbs. Not his type of music but he graciously respected it and said 'I can understand why you love that so much', then proceeded to rate it a 60 something out of 100 here on this website.

- Not sure when I first listened to this whole thing but 1985 and God is Perfect were amongst some of the first real rap songs I listened to due to Max showing them to me of course.
Something to Rap About - Me and Sam Smialowski bopping our heads to this with our faces right near to the speaker at Danny Marr's 18th

- Listened to this whilst enjoying a pleasant weekend long trip to Folkestone with Nan Grover and parents.
FEAR. - This Alchemist beat was the last beat The Alchemist played for his set when Max and I went to see him. We were about to leave the venue with our ears blasted and us half deaf when we heard this indulgent beat and quickly backtracked to hear it.

- Listened to this on CD all the way through on my first listen.

Butterfly effect - First listened to and loved when listening on Florida 2024 flight

America '25

- First listened when just lying on my bed on a kinda grey morning, procrastinating I think

- First listened to when driving to Folkestone for weekend with parents and Nan Grover.

Listened while walking through the Next store in Bluewater Shopping Centre, switching on and off because I had to talk to my parents about various things. Finished on the drive home pairing it nicely with a Krispy Kreme Cookies and Cream Milkshake.
