Tape trading and burning CDs, like sharing any physical media, was a good way to get your friends to interact with the music you were recommending. A hyperlink to a streaming platform is completely ephemeral, an empty gesture.

But also, check out our growing array of not-print on demand books, including Hair Shirt, Boxcutters, The Barre Incidents, and (soon) The Walls Are Closing In On Us.

To be fair, it was a mobster trying to make me bleed out as some kind of torture for betraying the mafia in some unspecified way.
