Something I've recently noticed about my music listening: I've started confusing remixes and original tracks. Blame it on a world in which everything seems to happen at once. For instance, I heard The Twelves's remix of "Boyfriend" before the Black Kids' original, and now I wonder if that's why I enjoy the remix so much more.

It makes you wonder, have words like "original" started to feel obsolete?

Then again, people like to ask, "Is the remix better than the original?" Rather than saying "Yes" or "No," I've started saying "Always." In a similar way, RCRD LBL is like a remix of the music industry. And it helps explain why I like remixes and RCRD LBL so much: they implicitly suggest that you can never love a song too much.
