Rec | PLAYLISTS AS GIFTS

⭐

The modern mixtape. There’s something so special about receiving a curated list of songs made for you by another person, not a computer. One time my friend had me for secret Santa and she made me a playlist. It was awesome.

MAking a mixtape for your loved ones

I just finished assembling the tracklist for a mix cd I plan on gifting to a friend for Christmas- the first one I've committed to making in years. The process of sifting through your library to find a sense of cohesion while also channeling the taste profile of your recipient is hands down my favorite way of exercising my sonic sensibilities. CDs have become such a novelty in this day and age of streaming which makes gifting a personalized one that much more special (: Long Live The Mix!

Making mixtapes/cd mixes for your friends

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!!!
