i knew my aunt clara was into daft punk around the time 'homework' and 'discovery' came out, but aside from the RAM singles, i hadn't listened to them much until 2021. my high school library, my school chromebook, and my 15 y/o wired apple earbuds carried me through a self-discovery journey through music, movies, gender expression, and the questioning of who i want to become
