Do you remember mix tapes? Well, I love mix tapes (I'm an eighties child after all). I love how they convey a feeling or situation. I love how receiving one can feel like a letter when done well. I love that sitting through a song can feel like sitting with someone.
Sometimes words are just not going to do it, but music might. I’m sentimental that way, but I think you know that already.
It’s Friday, and it’s been a bit of a rough week, so I wanted to send out a mix tape from The Collectivist. I wasn’t sure whether to go with Starting Over or So You Had a Bad Day. So here are links to both to get you moving again before the long weekend.
Oh, and dad, this is also for you – for those early morning drives when Radio 4 isn’t cutting it.
