Music & Culture
Cass is coming.
I remember when a playlist had a point of view.When the order mattered.
When track three was there for a reason and the transition into track four said something you were not going to say yourself.
I’m a Millennial.
I came up when burned CDs, iPods, liner notes, music television, radio, blogs, AIM away messages, and whatever song you had on repeat all belonged to the same cultural conversation.
So I don’t just want the songs.
The artist.The era.The culture around the record.What it meant then.What it means now.And why this song belongs immediately after that one.
Then I build the sequence.
Not a queue.A mixtape.
The Millennial is coming out of retirement.
The mixtape is coming back.
