There were no doubt many good songs on that compilation, but the song that really stuck out was Elliott Smith’s “Angeles” from his album Either/Or. ![]() The tape, too, was handwritten-the pre-printed grid, delineating sides A and B, crammed with Kara’s messy handwriting. It was the mid-to-late ‘90s, I was in college in Pennsylvania, and the tape came in the mail with a handwritten letter from my friend Kara. I first became aware of Elliott Smith from a mixed tape, which is-or was-probably one of the more intimate ways you can learn of a song, or an artist.
