Hey there, I'm Fran Murphy, and I'm part of a band called Hypertension. I'm 25 years old and from Paisley, Scotland. I would love it if you'd take a few minutes to listen to our tracks and, if you like them, give us a wee like on Facebook! Thanks!

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Timehop, a startup that humbly began as 4SquareAnd7YearsAgo, has just bagged a $1.1 million round of seed funding led by OATV and followed on by Techstars with additional participation from Spark Capital and a pretty worthy list of angels including Foursquare’s Dennis Crowley, Naveen Selvadurai and Alex Rainert, Groupme’s Steve Martocci and Jared Hecht, Rick Webb and Kevin Slavin.
Super excited to be a part of this. Anyone who’s been to my house knows that I am a deeply, deeply nostalgic person. I have short shrift for the aggro, don’t look back mentality. Nostalgia to me is like time travel, it’s like reading a good book, it transports you to other places, and Timehop has been a really wonderful treat for me. As an aside, I am also seriously nocturnal, and I’ve been using Timehop lately to remind myself to go to bed, as the email come sin each morning at 5:20 AM or so.
Just yesterday, timehop sent me my email, and reminded me that a year ago I was seeing the reunion of one of my favorite boston bands from the 90’s, Mistle Thrush. It was a great day, and seeing a ton of old friends was really wonderful. It was also the last time I saw my friend Billy before he died. Some people might think that is sad and not want to be reminded of it, but it was actually really nice, taking a pause and thinking of him.
Lately, I’ve been Tweeting random things just so I can re-read them in a year, like a little time capsule to myself. I think the fun of it can increase over time, now that I know I’ll see certain things again in a year. Today, I am moving out of my old apartment for a new one, and I am already looking forward to the one year anniversary when the email comes in.
Congrats, guys.

Nostalgia is in my DNA too. I’d love to try Timehop for myself and probably would invest in it too. Currently, I keep track of my days and years the old fashioned way, calendars, screenshots, timestamps… it can be… consuming.
