Kate wants to draw your mixtape. I love this idea.
I love it for many reasons. What’s nagging at me and is hardest to articulate is this: you can’t draw an iTunes playlist. Which leads me to a bigger thought: what happens when there is no more tangible media?
Photographs, records, mixtapes, all of that stuff that now resides on your hard drive.
I went to a Yankees game in the new stadium this summer, and the tickets were print-outs from my email. I can’t wait to share that with my grandson.
Is it me or does lo-fi have more soul? Is the iLife lifeless?
Note: I realize writing this on a blog is ironic or hypocritical or both. Just a random thought on a Tuesday night.

I’ve noticed more bands producing vinyl, and more people my age (early twenties) collecting them.
I don’t think tangible media will ever completely disappear, but perhaps only as a novelty.
