Mixtape #4: Antediluvian
Welcome to “Mixtapes,” our weekly series of original playlists—inspired by our own respective, fondly remembered rituals of burning mix CDs for ourselves, special occasions, friends—aimed at capturing the essence of a particular feeling, moment, mood, or experience within the constraints of (roughly) the total audio minutes available on your standard compact disc. Every week, we’ll zoom in on something different, specific, and personally resonant and explore it with a shared playlist and, usually, some accompanying “liner notes.” Fresh mixtape published every Friday.
