I spent most of my first year in Korea listening to LCD Soundsystem’s This Is Happening and wishing I was in New York City. I’d walk through the streets of the small town I was placed in, the night pitch black and silent and I would imagine skyscrapers and noise crowding in around me. I’d listen to This Is Happening, trying to lose myself in the rhythm and pretending that I was anywhere else. Sometimes, I’d imagine I was home, This Is Happening spinning lazily on the record player.
