I haven't recreated any mixtapes as playlists yet, but I did recreate many mix cds as playlists... I still have them on my ipod, but unfortunately I have to recreate them on itunes on my computer again due to a recent harddrive disaster; a friend accidentally deleted my 500gb drive (seriously). There's something about listening to an old mix years later that seems to bring me back more than just about anything else can. It's clearly more potent than just listening to a specific artist or song, since it's so many artists and songs that you specifically compiled during that period... I have a few friends who never make mixes or playlists and only ever listen to albums and it's such a shame because they'll never really know the full potency of nostalgia.

And it truly is becoming a forgotten art: I used to spend hours deliberating over the perfect songs, and the perfect order. I love how you named yours, too. I'm pretty sure mine were all just called "1994" or something. I really need to rescue them all from my parents' house. And buy a tape player, obviously, so I can listen to them. (Can you even buy tape players, now?) Oh, mix tapes, how I love them! And it truly is becoming a forgotten art: I used to spend hours deliberating over the perfect songs, and the perfect order.

I'm not sure we can be friends anymore. I never thought it would be Peter Cetera that came between us. Yeah… I’m not sure we can be friends anymore.
