Going to listen to your big ol' playlist while in the airport all day tomorrow!! The playlist that I'm most proud of was one I made only about butts freshman year of high school

I'm the student of my mom's "listen to albums full-through and on repeat for 8 hours," my own tendency to just hit shuffle on my liked songs list, and the rocky history of 8track fandom mixes. I don't think I intentionally put together a playlist (except for catharsis playlists) until I played Ribbon Drive this year. It asks everyone to bring a mix-tape (playing it with Discord bots rather than the intended cassette tapes/CDs was an experience).

That's a lot of words to kind of say, "I like long playlists!" I'm looking forward to listening to yours! I was just on the 6 odd something hour ride from Sac to Los Angeles w/ my mom -- and we occupied 5 hours with her music and 1 hour with mine. Maybe I should curate something for her...

I enjoyed reading this newsletter! And I now have several tabs open to read...

thanks for reading!! big fan of all of these tendencies and can't say that i've not done them, but i really do feel like there's something really satisfying about curating a playlist for someone you deeply care about (even if that's just yourself).
