This is the analog mix, inspired by my adolescent obsession with cassette tapes, records, radio and record stores. So one of the things Joshua and I have talked about is that mix tapes rarely come back to you--they are gifted out and you hardly ever see them again. I've often thought, however, that someone sees them again. Enter the mix tape I will write about now: "My Girl Chelsea."
I just returned from cleaning out my mom's condo. She let a young woman named Chelsea live there for a while, and she left a wooden box of cassette tapes. Checked with Mom's boyfriend, and Chelsea is long, long gone. Never coming back. No way to get her these tapes. This mix was a birthday present dated Feb. 3, 2000. We can guess this was a present from her friend "A----," who signed rather than spelled his/her name.
