My earliest mixtapes were made sitting next to a radio, blank cassette loaded, my finger hovering over RECORD desperately hoping I’d catch a particular song. Then there were mix CDs traded with friends and filled with songs that took hours of my young life to download.

This Substack is trying to recapture some of that.

This might be for you if you:

• you like discovering new music, have eclectic tastes that span genres, and are very unbothered by what’s “cool”

• you want to feel like you’re getting a letter from a friend in your inbox each week along with 45 minutes of great songs
