friend to all who find me as a random encounter


revisiting old halley labs albums has been an experience. i was around since the early lapfox era and i still hold a number of albums close despite falling off around 2017 or so. even have a physical CD of rotteen's absolute artifact lying around.

i attribute most of lapfoxtrax for introducing me to entire worlds of music back in highschool, acting as an online breakthrough after a childhood of only knowing my parents' taste and radio. hearing Banned Forever for the first time was one hell of a "show this to a medieval child" moment lskdfj. in less than a year i had posters on the wall and everything, which worried my folks quite a bit. LFT was the very first Internet Thing i became attached to; before MLP, before sonic, before any sort of online presence.

alot of the back catalogue has lost that initial magic, now that ive heard all the breakcore i could ever want. several random EPs and alias crossovers with little more than a sample and snares stretched to 3 minutes, yknow, releases for release's sake. emma seems to think so too amusingly, tossing most of these two periods in an archive and not being particularly fond of them. startling to see once-prominent cuts like the ONTRAX series, Because Maybe, Figurehead (especially Figurehead damn) all in there.

im glad emma's still going strong, even if im not interested in their current output, and it's not like ive totally abandoned these roots. Kitcalibur's Neverland Soundgirls remains a playlist staple, some of the really old stuff like Storm World is charming and Ancient Artifact Argos remains their masterwork, fucking, vec leggendaria, AUGh.

it just feels like another life. what was used as a personal protest against a christian highschool life is now a bit of nostalgia, no longer holding that necessary refuge a teenager once craved. lapfoxtrax has lost its context but not the memories, i'll never forget how miserable things were and would've been had i not clicked a bizarre, bloody fox fursona on youtube all those years ago and learned that yes, i can be weird too.
