Current Events > When was the last time you made a mix CD?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I recently fixed my Dell laptop from 09 and found roughly 600 songs on there and multiple playlists I burned onto CDs. I would probably day 2010 was the last time I burned them on to a CD to play in my car.

September 2016

The girl I was dating was super into indie music. I made her a mix CD with some of my favorite songs for our first date. We ended up listening to while traveling to a few different places for our date. It was fun.

Trying to remember the songs -- I remember some of the bands more clearly. I had songs on there by

The Mountain Goats
Lady Lamb the Beekeeper
Car Seat Headrest
Of Montreal
Grimes
La Sera

I haven't made any since I got a new laptop that lacked an optical drive though. I sort of miss doing it. I got a CD burner in 1999, so it was something I had done for a long time. A few years ago, I was cleaning up my childhood bedroom and purged a bunch of ones I made in high school. I wish I had them still now. The hard drive I kept my legacy music died. So, some of the songs I had on those CDs are lost forever now.

Whenever limewire was a thing I guess.

I found my mix CD when my friend and I went from Atlanta to Chicago in 2010.

Probably about 2010 to play on my car's old CD player. That was before I replaced it with one that had a USB port.

Yeah those are awesome. I love how mix CDs I made for specific trips or events instantly reactivates dormant teen-brain neural pathways. It just puts me right back there. Usually accompanied by a nostalgia tinged gringe, and an inner smile that makes my heart go soft.

Good times!
