My mobile digital lifestyle

Have broadband, mp3s, and iPods killed the mix tape? Or saved it? I don’t really have much of an opinion, to tell you the truth. I enjoyed “High Fidelity” as much as the next guy, and I like the idea of a romantic set of rules that define the perfect mix tape, but the last mix tape I made—er, CD that I burned—was a couple of years ago, and I’m pretty sure that its three covers of “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” (favorite version: Mike Ness) violate all sorts of mix tape conventions.

  1. Ah, but in the digital age we have CD-RWs. Now you can listen to three covers of "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" one day, and burn over it the next with three covers of "Rock Me Amadeus" (Favorite version: Beck).

  2. I don't know about "Rock Me Amadeus"... somehow, I just can't imagine anybody improving on Falco's original. (Although the Simpsons' "Dr. Zeus" spoof was pretty good, if I recall...)
