My wife and I have been friends for close to 30 years. Married for 5. When we we're moving in together we found 2 artifacts that make this hit home.
- She had a CD Binder with a WinXP CD and THE key written on it in my handwriting from 20 years ago and
- I had a Portisehead CD with her writing on it. That CD / Album (Dummy) always made me think of her. And is likely one of the reasons I crushed so hard for all these years.
There is something to be said for the burned CD being my generations mixtape ala High Fidelity.

Awww! CD-Rs are temporary, love is forever.

Could not have said it better. Cheers mate.

I've also never heard of Portishead. Is that a band? It sounds like a band name.

Portishead is sex. It makes sex, out of thin air. If you're in a room with a potential partner and you put on Portishead, you will soon be having sex. If you play Portishead when you're alone in a room, a partner will appear to have sex with you. If you play Portishead in an empty room and come back in a half hour, there will be people in the room having sex.
Portishead is sex. Especially Dummy.

I remember making mix CDs. I still have some blank CDs somewhere, including probably a few of those Verbatim ones with the vinyl-like ridge pattern on the printed side.
What do young people do in place of mix CDs these days? Send each other a sequence of Spotify/Youtube links in real time?

.....sharing a playlist is surely the modern equivalent.

In French we call them virgin CDs ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
