Secret Santa: Dan Edition

Another surprisingly thoughtful gift, I received the new Mumford and sons album. It is, however, on a fucking cassette, which is useless - except to hipsters, who drive boxy cars that they paid too much for from the late eighties and early nineties that still have tape decks. I, however, am a child of “upper middle class” parents and therefore inherited an early-aughts car which is from truly the worst era of automotive head units. Neither fully analog, nor competently digital it comes from the budding era of “infotainment” and is therefore infuriating. It has neither a tape deck nor a usb connection, it has only a CD player, a confusingly located aux port, and an old-style 32-pin Apple proprietary connection located in the glovebox that does not work with my iPod Classic. What, then, am I to do with this useless, nostalgia-fueled cash grab? Appreciate it, of course, because I am not an asshole who would disparage such a thoughtful gift that clearly came from the heart, truly did tug at my overly-nostalgic heartstrings,, and also came with a digital copy.

  1. Fuck, I doubled up on commas in the last sentence. Is this how it feels to be Frank?
