      Some of us just come here for the music. We get enough politics on other sites. I stopped listening to Radio 6 in the UK because of DJs with good musical taste and terrible political preferences they couldn't stop sharing. Ruined it for me.

    I started listening to Alt-J again, don't know why ever stopped. When they played Taro a rush of memories came back to me the minute I heard the guitar. What a beautiful song with so many happy beautiful memories attached. Back then, the world for me seemed so much more vibrant and colourful. As I've grown up, the colour drains each year. Listening to this song brings some of the colour back.

    This was wonderful to listen through. When they said they were going to play a song from their first album and said "Taro," I couldn't remember which one it was. Then they started playing it and I was immediately whisked back to the Summer of 2013 and filled with a million memories. Losing my job, almost killing myself, calling my ex in tears who came to help me and he hugged and then kissed me and said, "I don't want a relationship," moving into a dirty apartment with a wonderful lady where we never turned on the AC and always had the windows open to the almost dirty kind of downtown area. 85 degrees at home always. Working a bunch of different oddball jobs on campus. Taking calculus based physics. Ex saying he adored me, then saying we have to stop because he's going on a date, coming back and saying he didn't realize how much he cared for me and how wonderful I was. Going over to his place, him hiding me from his roommates at first. Me becoming obsessed with cleaning and plants as a form of control and fostering growth in something else when I couldn't foster it in myself. Getting into yoga, always showing up to class smelling of bleach after scrubbing my bathroom for two hours and with dirt under my fingernails from taking care of my plants. As soon as they started playing Taro when I listened through today, I fell to my knees and started ugly crying. Crazy what music can do to you.
    Kind of a strange tmi story, but wanted to share it. Now I work a stable corporate job, live in a nice apartment, have a normal boyfriend, live a simple normal life. Interesting to think back on the more strange times and realize, "I lived that."

I am myself going through some stuff, and it's always reassuring to find people being this vulnerable and open to show others that you can keep moving forward, that you can come out successful at the end. Hope you're doing well, and hope to, one day, look back the same way as you and say "I lived that, came out victorious". Good vibes to you, bless!

    A wonderful friend of mine, from many years ago, first introduced me to alt-j and what an incredible experience it has been...I've been following their music ever since and they never disappoint...a truly magnificent, quirky and immensely talented band. Love them and this.

    Saw Alt J in Bristol in about 2013 ish I think. Friend of mine got an EP with Fitzpleasure on, which we wore out. So we booked the gig, about 150 capacity, and then before the date came round they sort of took off and the gig got postponed a few times. Eventually they got to the gig, and it was obviously too small for them but we appreciated they honored it.
    They turned up, played the album perfectly plus one additional song which was a Kylie Minogue cover I think. Everyone was impressed by the quality, but a huge lack of stage presence, and perhaps appreciation for everyone there who were among the first to support them.
    Still, amazing creativity, authenticity and quality music.

    Alt J is one of my favourite bands of all time, if not my favourite, and Taro one of my favourite songs. There's just a uniqueness to their music, I don't think anyone could ever recreate their sound. Their music is just so emotive, you could go on for hours and not pick up a single lyric but the instrumentals behind it all are just carrying your mind and soul as if you're in a cloud floating about on these waves of sound, and other times you barely pick up the instrumentals but the lyrics are telling the most beautiful story so simply yet with so much depth, and on the days when you absorb the lyrics and the instrumentals all together as one it's like you're being levelled up to another realm of understanding, every lyric, every beat, every strum of a guitar just flutters through your veins and ripples over your skin and a story unlike anything really is heard and understood and it shows itself so clearly it's like you're watching it unfold right in your eyes. I really love everything Alt J does.a
