Really. It's been A Thing. I have a small binder of mixtapes, and for some reason, there's always one when things are just starting, and one when things are teetering on the cliff to awful.
The breakup ones are way better, though. Really. Way better! Because often they're songs that are trying to pretend to be affectionate but are actually all Belle And Sebastien Seeing Other People/Imogen Heap's Whatever, etc. And I really prefer the subtleties of the car wreck to the easy high of OMG I Really Really Like You Have Some Folk Rock.
