Inspired by: On digital relationships, by Manu
Around 2010 I met someone named Yineli on Last.fm through commenting on each others’ profiles. We had very similar music tastes, and she introduced me to Blue Foundation and Portishead.
Eventually we moved off talking on Last.fm, and decided to share MP3s in a shared DropBox folder. Once every month or so for about a year we would add some MP3s in a folder, along with a text file with a message to the other about the music we were sharing.
Eventually we fell out of contact, but I think about it often, and it still makes me happy thinking about it.
