in a very digital era, it is so special to literally hold a collection of songs that reminds someone of you/reminds you of someone. i’ve started a tradition of making several of my friends mixes around christmas time, and every year they are so so excited and it’s just so sweet. you get to share some songs that they may not know, but you think they’ll like; you get to share some that you associate with a memory with them; you get to put some on there that you are 100% sure they love. playlists are extremely awesome and cool, but so much more thought has to be put into a cd/tape because it takes so much longer to put it all together, has a time limit, etc.
bring back the art of mixtapes!!!
