Bon Iver/Eric Timothy Carlson

22, A Million was released on September 30th, 2016 and if you're like me, you either pre-ordered it or bought it that day.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did.
