FLCL
I remember I had wanted to see the show since I saw the commercial, but I used to surf back then, and one day I went for a really long day, and came back when the first episode aired for the first time on AS, then the next week I spent the night at my cousin's new house.. before they had gotten cable installed ;_; so I had to wait for the THIRD week (or were they airing it weekdays? I forgot. Maybe it was weekdays) and I finally saw the third episode. I loved the show. Then I finally got to see it all the way through, and when I stopped payinig so much attention to the characters, I started hearing really cool music, then I heard the ending theme again, and instead of thinking OH GOD JAPANESE MUSIC LIKE THE BOKUTACHIWA THING FOR INUYASHA I finally went, "Hey.. this is actually pretty good.." Then one day I downloaded a bunch of music, both versions of Advice (actually all three

), Carnival, Last Dinosaur, etc. Mostly stuff from Happy Bivouac that was on there.
I listened to that CD for like.. a year or two straight, because my computer had died. What sucks most?

My computer was dead for nearly a year, (then we got a new one) so when the pillows first came to America, I found out about a month after they had already finished the tour. I could've actually gone that time.
Once I got my new computer, I jumped on the pilllows ASAP. Then I finally found out their real music isn't what's on that thar soundtrack dealy, and instead of having mostly soundtrack songs (whatever's on kazaa) I found out about torrents. I then used those

and got the discography.
Lurv'd them evar sieence.
First song I sorta liked was ROSS, then after the 4th or so listen to, I got kind of annoyed by it, and then loved Carnival/Advice/Last Dinosaur/Stalker from the show. =D Zomgawrsh, those were my jams back before I knew songs outside of FLCL.
