Love is a Mix Tape

by Rob Sheffield

There are millions of songs in the world, and millions of ways to connect them into mixes. Making the connections is part of the fun of being a fan.

Every mix tape tells a story. Put them together, and they add up to the story of a life.

What doesn’t kill you maims you, cripples you, leaves you weak, makes you whiny and full of yourself at the same time. The more pain, the more pompous you get. Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you incredibly annoying.

When we die, we will turn into songs, and we will hear each other and remember each other.
