i cant agree about it being awesome. it drives me insane actually. but the cd recipient has always been known for saying "like, yeah" so it was a perfect fit.
Reading this, I'm reminded of the scene in High Fidelity where Rob is making the comp tape for the reporter while Laura is moving back in:
Anyway,
I worked hard at this one.
INT. ROB AND LAURA'S APARTMENT - DAY
Rob sits Indian-style on the floor in front of the stereo.
He has a pad of paper with scrawled titles and cross-outs,
and is surrounded by piles of CDs and records.
LAURA
Who's that for?
Rob winces, turns. He's busted.
ROB
This? Oh, just that woman who
interviewed me for The Reader.
Carol? Caroline? Something like
that.
Laura turns and walks out of the room.
