I was 3 or 4, and hooooo boooy, let me tell you how significant this moment was for me. Thomas gets pushed onto an abandoned ferry by those good-for-nothing Troublesome Trucks and sinks into a marsh. I positively lost my shit. I vividly remember rushing into the dining room where my mom was chatting with her friend, and I would not let them continue talking until they came in and watched it again. I'm sure I wore that part of the tape out replaying it over and over and over again. Looking back now, I think it radicalized me.

Idk why I memory holed this but I yelled this to my mom while watching the TV and I was really impressed at my ability to make up a rhyme??? And I guess I held onto it in childhood because I remember realizing it was a reliably dated very early memory. im pretty sure 3 year olds know their age so I’m pretty sure it’s a real memory but never confirmed there is an episode where Clifford turns 3 (he is canonically 2 years old tho)
Very odd memory…everything about it is ”golden” when I think of it in my mind. must be pretty cool to be that New To Earth

When I was seven, an 80s movie aired on TV, and I watched it until my mom turned it off at bedtime. I cried, wanting to see the rest, but she refused, and I eventually fell asleep. The next day, I couldn’t remember the movie’s name, so I never finished it—until today. It aired again, and the experience was surreal; I remembered every detail and finally saw the ending.

Here it is, folks! Volume I of what could very well be a continuous project. Thank you so much to everyone that submitted - I smiled the entire time I was putting this together. It's best listened to with headphones ☺️
Liner Notes:
This collection of field recordings is a collaborative effort with users of PI.FYI, each of which recorded their own pieces. It features audio from all over the world and exhibits eclectic moments from London Underground commutes to cuckoo bird calls in Dhaka to the sounds of a century-old American diner.
Online communities like PI.FYI often represent a diverse set of people, places, and experiences, but together, the submissions form a living collage that highlights the commonalities of modern life - a unifying message for such a tumultuous time. The first track features all of the sounds played at once in an attempt to create an audio snapshot of an online community but in their offline lives.
The individual recordings are unedited except for minor gain and compression adjustments for consistency across the collection.
