Join us today for a continuation of our discussion about the most beloved ancient relic that ultimately belonged to just one generation (hint: it was us): and that is the mixtape, a DIY medium exchanged between friends and lovers that was, on its surface, a way to share music but was actually a thinly veiled communication device intended to express…

Fast Times at Ridgemont High, we learned it, knew it, lived it. It’s an iconic and unforgettable film for — dare we say? — our entire generation.
