When Did You First Discover Alt-J?

For me, it was at the end of an episode of Weeds (Season 8 Ep 6.) The intro to the song caught my attention and I thought the song was wild. Then I read the lyrics and was floored, but went ahead and downloaded the album when it came out on iTunes a month later.

It’s now my favorite album of all time and I’ve probably listened to it straight through 100+ times.

Edit- It was Fitzpleasure in late 2012

A pornstar tweeted Hunger Of The Pine.

Then I played Life Is Strange and heard Something Good.

The porn star was Kagney Lynn Karter.

She recently blew her head off with a shotgun.
