mix tape love

Making a mix tape online isn't quite the same as sitting cross-legged in front of your tape deck, loading tape after tape, lining up the intro to each song, hitting play and record repeatedly and then hand writing your own liner notes... but it sure is fun. Not to mention instantaneous. You can create a playlist, make a mix tape design of your own, geek out over this mix tape USB port (which, admittedly, would make for a pretty sweet and thoughtful gift), and then check out Rob Sheffield's book, Love is a Mix Tape: Life and Loss, One Song at a Time, which tells of the relationship he had with his wife, via fifteen old, beat-up cassettes. And while you're at it, the folks at exopolis have made you a special mix tape... Enjoy.
