“no human being can be there for you the way a record can. i mean, your friends are your friends, and that’s great, that’s amazing if you’re having a hard time-and i clearly know about this at this point in my life-but nothing can compare with putting on a record and grieving silently or, conversely, celebrating personally.” (ben gibbard in autumn de wildes book about elliott smith.)
p.s. if you havent yet downloaded my past four mix tapes, you can do so off of the left hand side of my blog.
