We music fans love our classic albums, our seamless masterpieces, our Blonde on Blondes and our Talking Books. But we love to pluck songs off those albums and mix them up with other songs, plunging themback into the rest of the manic slipstream of rock and roll. I'd rather hear the Beatles' "Getting Better" on a mix tape than on Sgt. Pepper any day. I'd rather heard a Frank Sinatra song between Run-DMC and Bananarama than between two other Frank Sinatra songs. When you stick a song on a tape, you set it free.

I like that quote from Love Is A Mixtape. I should get back into making mixes, even if they're for no reason.
